Miter And Heavy Caliber

[animanera89]

Hi there fellow Tenno. I've got a question for you: I'm interested in forma-ing my Miter (I'll then get a second one to build the Panthera one day) and I've seen some builds for it. In all of them it's adviced to avoid using Heavy Caliber for the accuracy loss. Now, the other day I've run some test in the Simulacrum using Split Chamber and Heavy Caliber, and what I've seen is that only the secondary saws (on a full charge) were afflicted by the accuracy penalty, while the primary saws would go straight in line no problem. Now, my computer died on me a coupla days ago, so I can't test for sure this again and I... well... forgot to test it on not-charged shots (derp :P).
The question is: is Heavy Caliber worth on this weapon, or it will damage greatly the accuracy of the not-charged shots?

 

This is (until I get a response on Heavy Cal) the build I'm planning to use:

The last slot is being kept free at the moment for a possible Heavy Cal/other element mod once I'll have the answer to my question.

Thanks in advance.

I would definitely not use Heavy Caliber. The damage boost does nothing when you miss.

Hcal on Miter is effectively -100% damage unless you fire it at a point blank range.

id say it depends highly on ur personal play style

 

if u want to use the miter like a shotgun and be very close to the enemy i dont see a problem using heavy cal

but if u shoot on a medium to long range i wouldnt recommend using heavy cal

 

 

the one and only way to prevent shotgun spread from missing (prolly NSFW)

The accuracy loss is so big that you can't play like with a shotgun. You play like with a dagger if you want to hit.

my intention is to use it on a medium/long range, so I'll probably skip the use of heavy cal on this one.

Thanks to all of you for your advices guys. Much appreciated.

The second shot usually goes to the ground and bounces forward. I don't think it's a good use though.

I personally don´t like it. But if you are going to use a tank frame against infested and be close to them maybe you could you use it. I did this while putting forma into this weapon and its slash damage helps a lot with infested.

I prefer the shotgun way of Max Payne on the movie.

But yea it kills Mitter precision, you already have to charge an lead your shot, you dont wanna miss because an external factor.

GUYS GUYS I'VE RUN SOME MORE TESTS!!!!
I found (using a R8 heavy cal) that only the secondary saw gets sent to another direction (basically it goes right into the ground to bounce immediately).
The first one, both on charged and un-charged shots, will always fly straight in the direction you aim to!
