Vulkar

The Vulkar is a Grineer sniper rifle, released in Update 8. It is equipped by Grineer Ballistas. It mainly utilizes Impact damage and shares the highest status chance of sniper rifles with the Lanka, making a good amount of the shots to deal devastating procs.

It can be closely compared to the Vectis, a Tenno sniper rifle.

Tips

 * Use a close-mid ranged sidearm to compensate for closer ranged targets.
 * Try to aim for the head or other vulnerable points only, take your time. Spraying and praying with this weapon does not work well, as with all snipers.
 * Adding either a maxed rank Wildfire will give the Vulkar 1 extra bullet, while a maxed rank Magazine Warp will add 2 extra shots.
 * Maxed Point Strike and Vital Sense mods work well with this weapon, given it's good critical chance and damage.
 * Use the Sniper Ammo Mutation mod to greatly relieve the low total ammo or Sniper Scavenger to increase the amount of sniper rifle ammo picked up.
 * Rupture is the most effective physical mod to use, as it increases Vulkar's already decent impact damage further.
 * Heavy Caliber can be used on the Vulkar with little noticeable effect on its long-range accuracy, as its slow rate of fire ensures that its shots will always land on its crosshair. Heavy Caliber will affect the spread of additional bullets created by Split Chamber however.

Trivia

 * It seems the Vulkar is based-off on the name "Vulcan", the god of fire, the forge and the volcanoes in Roman mythology.
 * It would seem that the Vulkar has an exceptionally high Impact damage for a sniper rifle, suggesting that it uses powerful slug rounds, despite its depiction as an armor-piercing rifle.
