 * Rifle scope is ineffective in dark areas and at close range.
 * Low ammo reserve.
 * Inaccurate when fired from the hip, bullets may widely spread when fired.

Tips

 * Use a short-ranged sidearm to compensate for closer targets.
 * Try to aim for the head or other vulnerable points only, take your time. Spraying and praying with this weapon does not work well, as with all snipers.
 * Adding a maxed rank Wildfire will give the Vulkar 1 extra bullet, while a maxed rank Magazine Warp will add 2 extra shots. A maxed Tainted Mag will add 4 shots, and all of these mods will total up in a magazine capacity of 25.
 * Maxed Point Strike and Vital Sense mods work well with this weapon because of its good critical chance and damage.
 * Use the Sniper Ammo Mutation mod to greatly relieve the low total ammo or Sniper Scavenger to increase the amount of sniper rifle ammo picked up.
 * Rupture or Crash Course are the most effective physical mods to use, as they increase Vulkar's already decent damage further. In combination they will grant a total of +150%  damage.
 * Heavy Caliber can be used on the Vulkar with little noticeable effect on its long-range accuracy, as its slow rate of fire ensures that its shots will always land on its crosshair. Heavy Caliber will affect the spread of additional bullets created by Split Chamber however.

Trivia

 * It seems the Vulkar is based-off the name "Vulcan", the god of fire, the forge and the volcanoes in Roman mythology.
