Notes
- The Rubico has the highest critical multiplier of any sniper rifle, with a base multiplier of 3x.
- On the other hand, it has a dismal status chance of 12%, being the lowest for all the sniper rifles. This is compared to the 20-30% of the other sniper rifles, a considerable difference.
- The crit damage bonus from zooming is treated in the damage calculation like a respective mod. Therefore, it is additive with mods like Vital Sense, Hammer Shot, and Bladed Rounds.
- It closely resembles the Grineer Vulkar in terms of damage type distribution and other stats; the main difference being the Rubico has higher critical stats, while having lower status, base damage, and magazine.
- The Rubico requires only a single shot to activate its Shot Combo Counter, giving it an immediate 1.5x total damage multiplier on the first shot, and a 2.0x total damage multiplier after its third shot, giving it the ability to quickly ramp up its damage with a single magazine. On the other hand, it has a short combo decay counter that lasts only 2 seconds, thus reloading at 2.4 seconds will always lower its shot combo counter if there are no reload mods present
- The combo multiplier starts at 1.5x on the first shot and requires triple the amount of shots to reach each consecutive tier.
Combo Counter Bonus Tier | Total Base Damage Multiplier | Minimum Consecutive Hits Required |
---|---|---|
1 | 1.5x | 1 |
2 | 2.0x | 3 |
3 | 2.5x | 9 |
4 | 3.0x | 27 |
5 | 3.5x | 81 |
6 | 4.0x | 243 |
7 | 4.5x | 729 |
8 | 5.0x | 2187 |
Tips
- Due to its high critical chance and damage multiplier, modding for critical is very effective. Adding Point Strike and Vital Sense increases the critical chance to 75% and the multiplier to 6.6x. Argon Scope, Bladed Rounds and Hammer Shot can increase it even further. Scoping in also boosts its critical damage by up to +50% at maximum zoom level.
- It is not suggested to use the Charged Chamber/ Primed Chamber mod on the Rubico due to its long reload times.
- If the zoom HUD can make aiming difficult, turn off "Use Sniper Scopes" in Interface Options if it hinders you from aiming properly.
Trivia
- Rubico is a clay made from crushed basalt that is used to build tennis courts, with its green color being similar to the default color of this weapon.
- The Rubico appears to share an aesthetic with the Talons thrown bombs and Lacera bladed whip, both of which are also included in the Huntress Bundle.
Bugs
- It seems as though there is a chance for a bullet to not hit its mark, even when scoped in.
