The opticor is an amazing weapon, but save it for your Mirage.

Volt's shield blocks the AoE from the Opticor. Without the AoE, the Opticor is just a non-elemental Lanka with better zoom (i.e. not the horrible 50x microscope zoom the Lanka has...) but inferior damage and the inability to actualy HOLD the charge. The only thing that makes the Opticor solidly better than the Lanka is the AoE and Volt's shield robs that from it.

So go with one of the other suggestions here, OP. Personally I love both the Amprex and Synapse (depending on Single vs Multi target.)  Opticor is wasting a ton of its potential in Volt's hands.

Or just use the Lanka if you can stand the zoom. Dammit DE, I want a "myopic" mod that does the opposite of Eagle Eye so I can actually use this thing. TWENTY Gallium later and it's the weapon with the most squandered potential in my entire arsenal...
