AnonymousNo Power Coating + on any of these. At least according to this list anyway. Does the Safi weapon's unique augment system give the opportunity to give an upgrade to currently usable coatings? Like enable a "Plus" for Power or Blast?

Any chance the wiki or someone else could make this into a PDF or something downloadable and easier to read/scroll through?
