Opticor, Dread, and Paris Prime all have the same amount of crit damage, which is 200%.

Opticor's base damage = 500 (Half charged) 1000 (Fully charged) Paris Prime/Dread base damage = 100 (Half charged) 200 (Fully charged)

Even if Paris Prime or Dread crit they'll still have less damage than Opticor. They won't even do more damage if they were to get a red crit.

Comparisons: Opticor - 5x more base damage. Hitscan. Less crit chance. (15% base. 45% max.) Can hit multiple enemies in a reasonable area. Can't hit multiple enemies in a line. Which can be easily fixed using a Shred or Metal Auger mod but won't be able to use enemies as projectiles. Opticor has more damage than Paris Prime (In fact it has more Puncture damage than both Dread and Paris Prime's damage combined).

Paris Prime/Dread - 5x less base damage. Travel time. More crit chance. (45% and 50% base. 134% and 149% max.) Can't hit multiple enemies in an area. Can be fixed using Thunderbolt but to a much lesser degree and isn't a guaranteed explosion. Dread has more damage than Opticor. Innate Punch Through. Can hit multiple enemies in a line and use enemies as projectiles without the use of Shred or Metal Auger.
