This weapon already hits 20k+ easily even at base damage. Increasing reload times/charge times brings out higher DPS because most basic enemies can't even survive that 20k+ blast.

You can even still do a half charge and hit 20k+, full charges are used for high level eximus units. If you're using the Opticor for things like Capture, Exterminate, Spy, and Rescue, you rarely need highest damage per shot unless you run into, say, a Warden Eximus unit on Rescue.

I have this thing with the puncture stat at 1,087 and I rarely have enemies I need to two-shot full charge running level 25+ missions.
