DCUO: Precautions for Weapon Pass

There will be an effort to balance weapons so there's less difference between the various types as well as bring them up-to-par with might/powers. Full details can be found here:

One of the major changes will be the the Venom Wrist Dispenser (VWD). Players who have a Venom Wrist Dispenser at or above rank 80 will automatically have their artifact boosted to a higher rank.

• If your Venom Wrist Dispenser is between rank 80 and 100, it will be boosted to rank 120.
• If your Venom Wrist Dispenser is between rank 101 and 140, it will be boosted to rank 160.
• If your Venom Wrist Dispenser is between rank 141 and 160, it will be boosted to rank 200 (maximum rank).

1. You will want your VWD to be above 80 if you're using it.
2. If partially leveled, ideal points would be 81, 101 & 141 as you will gain the most from the free boost when this update goes live.
3. DO NOT level your VWD any further if you don't think you'll be at the next break point very soon or it will be wasted effort if you don't make it. If you're 141 or higher, obviously don't level at all.
4. I would also recommend putting the brakes on any precision artifact as you may want to reevaluate them after all adjustments are done. For now just power up support or general artifacts or just store the nth metal.
