Talk:Opticor Vandal/@comment-75.174.135.180-20190309020643

Personally, as a huge opticor fan, I don't get why people are being so dismissive of this weapon. I tried it out, and was very pleasantly surprised. It takes some of the best features of the standard one (High punch through, good status, and ability to strike in an area on final impact), and repurposes them into a new package. While the usual opticor is certainly a tank killer, the vandal is definitely an all purpose area strike weapon. The huge decrease in charge time makes it very reliable against spread out groups, and although it does have the high drop in base damage, you don't need to mod for speed allowing more damage mods to pick up the slack.

Overall, the weapon is for a different crowd while still packing a significant punch if you know what you are doing. This weapon is far from trash.
