arch111 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I love the Opticor. Is it the best weapon? No. Is it the most used? No. But I love the design, the feel and the way it plays. I wish it was boosted a bit but I still main it. In the Vauban Prime reveal, crewmen were armed with the Opticor, that's were I got this idea from - not the art I drew that first. I made this image the other day.That made we wonder; will there be a Opticor Crewman? The Opticor is a rifle, but it is allso silent and has very good accuracy so it benefits Snipers. The base damage is high and it would make Snipers much more dangerous and POSSIBLY change how the AI strategises. I further speculate if the prescence in Vauban Prime's reveal hints at a Prime version. So, do you feel the Opticor Crewman would make an interesting new unit? And if so, would you prefer it given to the Snipers, a whole new unit or as a Leader? The Seargent could possibly use it as well, maby Derf Anyo too is he ever gets made. Below is taken from the Wiki. When you start playing Corpus/Grineer Invasion, you can see Corpus Tech holds the Opticor while Prod Crewman holds the Tetra. In-game, however, neither the Opticor nor the Tetra are used by any current Corpus units. In Vauban Prime Access Trailer, Crewman holds Opticor while other two Crewman hold Amprex, but again, both weapons are not used by any Corpus units in mission. It may suggest that in next update will have Corpus wielding both weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currilicious Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm not too fond of this. Another unit that one-shots isn't exactly endearing but if the energy color is made obvious enough, as a telegraph, I guess this could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyDevil Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It would make an interesting unit but Corpus doesn't really need an edge or additional firepower. If they were to give a Crewman the Opticor, i'd vote for them to replace the Nullifier's Lanka with a slow-charging-telegraphed Opticor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrototypeXD Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) "Give corpus an edge". What do you mean by that? They're already broken AF to face against why make them more powerful? Edited May 8, 2016 by PrototypeXD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3z1 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Create Corpus-themed Rathuum. Give to "Executioner." Don't need to give OPticor to the current Corpus loadout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemmo67 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 if it has unmodded charge speed. bring it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letir Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Maybe something like upgraded variant of Railgun Moa, with heavy telegraphed attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesyol Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yeah it would be nice to see more weapons from the lab on Corpus units. They should give glaxion to some normal enemies, not just capture targets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadrad Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I like the idea of more sniper-type mobs at higher levels. Having to keep moving erratically and having to find their location so you can seek shelter is a neat challenge. I mean, might not be great for a common mob type, but could be super cool as part of a boss fight, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corpus-themed Rathuum would likely be against specialized proxies for lore reasons. I imagine it being something like a contest between their creations that was mentioned by Cephalon Cordylon.

(PSN)T_h_e_m7 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Its a Corpus weapon. The Corpus weren't around during the old war (they may have begun breaking off from the orokin, but they probably weren't present.) Also, only Tenno weapons are primed. So, I don't think it'll be primed. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endroth Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It will be a repeated joke, but really. Corpus are already pretty edgy as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arch111 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 If you put Corpus against Grineer, Grineer have so many units. Bombards, Napalms, Eviscerators, Gunnners, Masters, Commanders, Hellions, Scorpions. I think Corpus needs toned down Nullifiers and more armed heavies or interesting units. The proxies are.not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urlan Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If Malice of the Stalker acolytes was any consideration, I don't think the novelty or coolness factor will last the being one-shot repeatedly no matter your life total. To be fair, the Opticor does tremendous damage and is rather accurate even for players, for fairness, I think the unit for the Corpus would have to be an equivalent to Grineer Napalms or Bombards so giving the weapon a warning charge light would be a good idea if such an encounter were implemented.

Freelancer27 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It's confusing to see a ton of Dera bolts flying around when Lankas, concealed in the fire, can instantly kill you out of nowhere. While I don't prefer the weapon to be a weapon upgrade to the faction, Opticor Crewmen should replace Lanka Snipers in order to flesh out tactics how to counter a weapon where you can actually see rather than guessing.

Wiki says alarming. the Opticor has been silent since like forever.. but only if you hit someone with it.. If you hit the floor or wall, the AoE will alarm enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
