I'll hate to see you in charge of anything at DE, no weapon variety & power creep running rampant. Won't say this is the most dumbass thing I've read on the wikia bc there is truly some stupid shit, but this is at the very least pointless.

At first I was like OPV seems to be an actual buff, now I think ppl has to be stupid to not realize the massive difference in power between the two variants, I even read something a few days ago saying OPV can't one shot level 100 enemies, well, you know that person is stupid and does not know how to mod cos mine one shots heavies level 150 without buffs.

The thing has 400 base damage, that's higher than all snipers but Lanka, fully moded we are talking about crits over 100k, a single bleed proc is enough to kill a level 160 Heavy Gunner/Bombard in 3 ticks, if we ignore the weapon damage, so is actually 2 ticks or 1s. You can't say the same about Opticor since it's very hard to get 100%CC with it, you can say "when it crits", but if not mistaken you can only reach 97% CC with a perfect 2+/- riven. OPV can easily reach 100%+CC with a 3+/-, and for those that doesn't understand rivens, the difference in damage between the two over a full build is about 20%.

TL;DR when fully modded OPV has about 70% of the damage per shot than the Opticor, criting 20% is a big deal overlooked by most, and in practice, you need to shoot an enemy beyong level 190 to note a difference in kill time assuming both weapons share the same proc rate.
