Funny you should ask that because that's what I'm doing. Ash with Vectis, Synoid Gammacor and (for now, though this is gonna change) Jaw Sword with Blade of Truth (so the damage is actually decent, but the attacks still seem awkward to me.)  I am probably going to swap out the Jaw Sword for a Kestrel (used as a pocket grenade to knock down heavies, should make the Vectis even more usable.)

Anything beyond the range of the Gammacor is basically perfect for the Vectis. Both are pinpoint accurate, both kill targets instantly (unless you just mod them horribly it's hard for either one not to.)  Despite all the talk in the article about the low zoom, I've found it to be perfect. Long distance shots don't require Eagle Eye at all - just take your time aiming. The Vectis is literally 100% pinpoint accurate, so no matter the range, if you can put your cursor over it, it WILL hit the target, every time, so the zoom is a non-issue. It's certainly better than the Vulkar's ultra-long-distance zoom where anything within 100m fills up the entire scope!

It is also pretty accurate when hp-fired. Useful when an enemy gets too close for the scope. In Defense missions I often fire it unzoomed and it seems to hit the mark 90%+ of the time, so it might be pinpoint unzoomed and it's just me, idk, but either way, it CAN be used unzoomed too.

And finally it should be noted that not only is the Crit good, so is the Status Chance. Modded properly (with 2 event mods plus split chamber, or 3 event mods) you can reliably trigger a gas cloud. This makes it suprisingly good for crowd control (especially when paired with Shred or Metal Auger - kill a whole line, gas the rest!)
