The possibility to improve the rarity (eg Rare, Epic, Mythical) of a weapon opens up for some interresting opportunities!

I know thta it is ridiculously expensive and in all probability won't ever do it, but it's fun to theorize! And who knows, a chest of some kind might just drop a huge load of gems on you all of a sudden! ;-)

Firstly, the step between Epic and Legendary is the most substantial at 21 points efficiency, and I'd say that it is quite noticeable in the game as well. So that's where I'd spend my treasure hoard, if I had one...

My first and foremost candidates would be the Laser Revolver and the Acid Cannon. If the Laser Revolver reches the damage levels of the Exterminator/Thunderer (being a Wall Break weapon as well), but with a 91 fire rate and 10 round capacity, plus 85 mobility! it would be a beast indeed! And speaking of "beasts", if the Acid Cannon, firing the same piercing, poisonous rockets, reaches the damage level of the BEAST when improved to Legendary, with 90 fire rate and 18 capacity, it would be a monster!

There are several more cases where an Epic weapon offers an edge over higher rarities, in stats and/or abilities that otherwise doesn't exist.
