Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

So is the consensus for the 230 relic weapon still the same as the 210 version?

Yes. So between the lore weapon and new relic, the lore weapon is better slightly. Its up to you if you rather get more gear and finish your relic, or buy the lore weapon. I am personally getting the lore weapon since I haven't even gotten halfway on the 80 items yet. It depends on your progress in raids. I think ultimately it is still better to get the lore weapon since it can be upgraded.
