User:Angelstar107/High Calibur Vasto





The purpose of this build is to make Vasto into an extremely high calibur pistol, building on it's strengths to make it into a highly flexible and lethal sidearm. It is designed to be a maximized weapon build, so it requires 4 Forma to actually use this build, in addition to an Orokin Catalyst and Weapon Rank 30.

With the added effect of Seeker, it is possible to devestate multiple enemies with a single well-placed shot. Additionally, it is possible to hit the same enemy multiple times with a single bullet depending on the angle. This is very useful during multiplayer when fighting Ancients, where you can shoot through both legs, landing 4-6 hits with a single shot. This build also allows for full strength head shots against Corpus, in addition to being able to shoot enemies clean through cover with careful practice.
