How to Spartan Laser: Opticor Build?

[(PSN)Saobie3]

I got this thing and my jaw dropped when i saw its base damage. So now im using it and i like it and all but i feel like it needs a specialized build, as the generic mods id normally put on things are yielding pretty bad results. My Hek does at least 3x the damage and is much easier to use. And while i dont expect it to be better than my Hek, i at least want it to be a contendor.

 

So whats a good build?

this is my favorite.

You can also go for Shred + 120% puncture mod instead of corrosive if you like wiping out lines of enemies in lanka style.

If you are playing lower level content dotn be afraid to cut down the damage a bit in favor of more fire rate, it makes the weapon even more fun and and the amount of damage it does is actually waaaaayy too much for most enemies to withstand anyways :P

But why crit chanc? Its crit rate is low, even with mods on. Is ther some unlisted stat?

together with split chamber that chance to crit per trigger pull becomes decent. You dont have to mod for it though, i think even without crits the weapon can hold its own pretty well.

Dosnt the game calculate the probability of at least 1 shot critting? So having split chambers would still list the probability of one of th two beams critting i think. Im not too sure

 

How often do YOU see crits? And whats the damage like for it? Is it needed for higher level?

The game is highly inconsistent in that regard, crits are shown and calculated per bullet, but status chance is always shown per trigger pull.

it crits about every second shot, but i havent used it much in level-ranges where non-crits did not kill too.

Hm... in that case its worth using. With its outrageous damage and a x4.4 multiplier i can imagine a crit would ohko virtually anything
