User:JukeBoxx831/Lanka Crit+Damage

Exploring (still trying out different mods) high amounts of damage for the Lanka, will require an Orokin Catalyst and Formas. 'Build and testing is not complete yet! Will continue to update information!'

Mods
Serration (+165% damage @ max)

Charged Chamber (+40% damage on 1st shot in the clip)

Point Strike (+150% crit chance -- +30% crit chance on Lanka)

Speed Trigger (+60% Rate of Fire -- RoF)

Split Chamber (+90% chance for each bullet to shoot an extra bullet at no cost)

Shred (+30% RoF + 1.2 meter puncture)

Vital Sense (+120% crit damage)

Hammer Shot (+60% crit damage and 40% chance stun)

Stats and "Play Style"
This build is what I am currently working towards, but given the base stats with mods included it should look something like:

Damage: 662.5

Charge Speed: < 1sec

Crit Chance: 50%

Crit Damage: 330%? Not sure if it stacks additionally ontop of base, or a % of its original crit damage..

When I play shooters I constantly reload my weapon, so more often than not I get that additional 40% damage on my 1st shot in the clip (662.5*1.4=927.5 damage non crit). With a maxed out Split Chamber you also have a chance to hit this twice! That's nearly 2,000 damage with the first shot non-crit. Each shot that you land also has a 40% chance to stun the target (thanks to Hammer Shot) if you don't instantly kill them, which allows you to set up your second shot. Shred is a very new mod to the community which was given out for having done the Arid Fear event at least once. This new mod provides twice the puncture of Metal Auger (0.6 meters). Some bullets will pass all of the way through an enemy and into another enemy directly on the other side of them.

Since the Lanka is a sniper rifle I do use it as such (constantly aiming for enemy weak spots for maximum damage) which is why I don't see the need to use AP yet. If you are prepping to take the Lanka into a high wave defense I would recommend to not use this build though lol, as I have not tested it very far myself and I'm not sure how practical it is to use a Lanka in "late game" "gameplay" (wave 40+) regardless of mods.
