Brakk is pure DPS. Why do I need pure DPS when I've got my primary and melee weapons? Brakk's best range is inside 10m, also known as 'inside Orthos Prime's range'. Meaning I'm likely dicing the everloving hell out of the enemy rather than switching to a secondary at that range. And if it's not that range then Brakk's 'theorycrafted' damage is useless isn't it?

Tysis has perfect accuracy and can stack handpicked elemental procs (aka the only ones that are any use at all) at an astoundingly fast rate at any range I want. 50 minutes into a T3 survival those heavy gunners won't care about your perfect 50k Brakk when they are reducing 48k out of it and have a 30k+ hp pool. They WILL care about being radiationed, viraled (cutting 15k hp instantly), and having their armor melting like crazy. 2 shots and I've likely stacked at least 2-3 corrosion stacks, and almost guaranteed viral/radiation meaning they aren't shooting me, they're shooting (and being shot by) their buddies. That works at 1 min, 5 min, 50 min, or 5 hours in.

That's why anyone with sense knows that you pick Tysis over Brakk. One weapon in your kit better be stacking status, and this one's the best at it.
