Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Impact damage.

Advantages:

• High  Impact damage - effective against shields.
• Pinpoint accuracy while aiming; shots will hit exactly on the reticle dot, perfect for headshots.
• Low recoil.
• High zoom capabilities.
  • Zooming in increases headshot damage by +35% at 2.5x zoom, +55% at 4x zoom or +70% at 8x zoom.

Disadvantages:

• Low  Puncture and  Slash damage - less effective against health.
• Linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from 400m to 600m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Slow reload speed.
• Rifle scope is ineffective in dark areas and at close range.
• Inaccurate when fired from the hip, bullets may widely spread when fired.

Comparisons:

•  Vulkar (Normal Attack), compared to  Vulkar Wraith (Normal Attack):
  • Higher base damage per projectile (101.25 vs. 98.28)
    • Lower  Impact damage ( 81 vs. 88.452)
    • Higher  Puncture damage ( 15.1875 vs. 9.828)
    • Higher  Slash damage ( 5.0625 vs. 0)
  • Higher total damage (101.25 vs. 98.28)
  • Higher average damage per tap (101.25 vs. 98.28)
  • Lower burst DPS (151.87 vs. 196.56)
  • Lower sustained DPS (86.78 vs. 112.32)
  • Lower fire rate (1.50 attacks/sec vs. 2.00 attacks/sec)
  • Smaller magazine (6 vs. 8)
  • Less shots per magazine (6 vs. 8)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (3 vs. 7)

Notes

• The Vulkar, alongside the  Snipetron, has the smallest minimum zoom magnification of the sniper rifles, with its minimum zoom having only 2.5x magnification. This makes the Vulkar more effective at shooting at closer range than other sniper rifles.

Trivia

• It seems the Vulkar's name is based on "Vulcan", the god of fire, the forge, and the volcanoes in Roman mythology.
