Playur Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Flux rifle all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbak92 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Flux 4 life. Of course if you're Rank 6 you can have it, lol. If you're not, go ahead with Dera if you want... But there are other good weapon, I don't really like der but that's your choice... Other nice guns are Dread, Paris Prime, Braton Prime, HEK, Soma, etc...

Casardis Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Dera and Flux Rifle are pretty good for overall performance in the game, in general. Flux has greater range than Synapse seemingly, and its serrated blade damage makes it useful with the current armor system, especially against high level enemies. Synapse takes much more time and forma to really shine outside of Corpus IMO. Even then, the Flux may do a better overall job.

Kinperor Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Having both Flux Rifle and Synapse, I have to favor Synapse. Stick some critical mods along with elemental damage based on who you fight, and you have a monster in your hands. Doesn't mean that Flux is significantly worst, but I mostly use my Synapse out of preference. Flux however I use a lot when farming stuff in survival (chopping mook in two gives two Desecrate by dead mook). EDIT: ^ Nope, you can't. Annoying, really.

Zombie_Sprinklez Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Bear in mind that the crazy damage shown here is only possible with Volt and his Electric Shield. For Corpus, Synapse, everything else, Flux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "Perfect" build would be Faction specific, and not just a Rainbow. Newer mods haven't been calculated in those builds anyway. Example: Heavy Caliber.

Cruispleuro Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I prefer Synapse over the Flux rifle, only because I see 400s with my Synapse (crit build) and only 200s with my Flux on non-Infested. It's really up to you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repligon Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have both. Here stats with some mods. My flux: 700 dmg 2|5% crit damage|chance Synapse: 436 dmg 4.4|112.5% crit damage|chance (so it crits all the time => 1918 overall damage) Both not formad but with potato. No corrupted mods. So it's 1918 vs 700. Plus volt shield makes all the crits red crits, but yet without it synapse has almost 3 times more dps than flux rifle. It also stuns enemies instead of staggering. Easier to keep sustained damage. But. My canmate with a few times formad flux outdpses me anyway. Also fieldrons much easier to farm and you need only one forma to build it.

Middle_Clicker Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have the Synapse and HAD the flux rifle to me synapse is way better. I favor the Synapse not because it looks awesome(that is a bonus xD) but because of it's high critical chance and its already electrical damage feature. Yes it has a 5m shorter range than the Flux rifle but Critical damage or 5m more range? to me if you are really wanting that range build a Nova or Loki or a Volt(prefect frame for this weapon). With the right modding which is not that hard(lots of videos on how to mod it) it becomes a fun weapon(also makes awesome sounds). To me Flux rifle is a waste of resources that shoots a small laser beam as enemies while the mighty Synapse shoots lightning furiously at its prey. Hope this helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloan441 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Have both. Frankly, don't care that much for either one. Range limitations usually mean I use something else, depending on circumstances. Synapse clearly is more powerful, but the flux does have a fun factor that can't be denied. Kind of depends what you want. Cutting things in half with a laser beam, or innate elemental damage and potentially more effective at extreme levels.

Naftal Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hope this helped Probably doesn't help since the thread (and the other similar one you necroed) are three months old and D2.0 (should) make it obvious that Synapse is a lot better.
