Lanka - I See Why Nobody Uses This!

not if they are AP.

put serration, split chamber and even more AP in it, and you will never have problems.

 

just see the ap AP as a damage that is always there, most of the time even stronger because of vulnerabilitys.

Electrical damage is not always there, with the latest change it will deal atleast 100% to the enemy, if the higher level scaling is there, it will be gone after a certain point.

 

Vandaltron

125 AP Base

+160% Serration = 325 Base AP

60% Piercing =195 AP

= 520 AP

90% Split = 468 AP

=988 AP

 

Lanka

200 Ele. Base

+160% Serration = 520 Base Ele

60% Piercing = 312 AP

= 520 Ele, 312 AP

90% Split = 468 Ele, 280 AP

=988 Ele, 592 AP

 

so, in theory lanka is stronger.

but as i said, Lanka needs to charge, Ele Damage is only good against one type of enemy, and maybe Ele damage still scales down with higher enemy level.

How can Lanka win snipetron V. after the primed chamber comes out?

 

both of them weak to Infested, Lanka still can't do 10K damage to leaper with sonar.

 

 

both of them do 4 time damages to corpus so i don't do it,

 

Lanka take 2 sec to charge and snipetron V. take 2 sec to reload, fair enough.

 

 

 

Grineer(damage with sonar)

Yep, then 200 dmg are better for AP

dude, snipetron deals nearly twice the AP damage of Lanka.

AP = Good against nearly Everything

Electric = Good against Corpus

Lanka = Charge

Snipetron = Spam

see the difference?

Play what you want, if i want an overpowered weapon, i take my ogris or my acrid

 

 

Actually i play for fun, not for OVER KILL THE ENTIRE MAP WITH A SINGLE SHOT

 

 

See the difference?

 

 

Lanka have enough dmg to over kill everything, (even an ancient lvl 100) but bullet travel + charge system are fun

And also, he is silent, great for the future Stealth mission mode

Skill shots are fun, hit scans are boring.  If you are already rank 7, you're probably looking for a challenge since the game will have none to offer you by that point anyway.  

 

Even if the gun were terrible (and I doubt it is), its going to be more fun than most weapons just because it's different.  Don't complain that its not ez-mode, be happy you have something worth leveling.

Dread.

Faster, Silent, Same Mechanic, Cheaper. Same Critical Damage.

 

Lanka IS fun, but it is just not worth the needed time to research, the ressourced to build, and the forma to mod it.

 

You mentioned Acrid and Ogris.

Both can be accesed faster than the Lanka, and they are stronger.

 

Ogris: Detonite - Ignis - Ogris

Overall Cost:

1.780.000 Credits (2)

2.550 Detonite Samples

220.000 Common Ressources (3)

4.600 Uncommon Ressources (3)

 

Stronges AoE Weapon

 

Acrid: Mutagen Mass - Thorid - Acrid

Overall Cost:

1.780.000 Credits (2)

2.550 Mutagen Samples

421.000 Common Ressources (1)

10.000 Uncommon Ressources (2)

 

Strongest Pistol

 

Lanka: Fieldron - Prova - Dera - Lanka

Overall Cost:

2.780.000 Credits (1)

2.550 Samples

285.000 Common Ressources (2)

45.600 Uncommon Ressources (1)

20 Rare Ressources (1)

 

Dread and Vandal dont have the High Damage of Lanka, but they are both faster. Both have a faster RoF than Lanka.

Vanal has a very usefull Element, Dread has Multihit. Also Dread deals the same critical damage as Lanka

 

Ogris is the Cheapest, Lanka the most Expensive.

does it worth it?

No

watch this video:

 

 

if this video doesnt convince you how good the lanka is nothing will.

 

Maybe you missed the video of a guy taking down all the bosses in like 2 clips with the acrid.  The lanka is horrible right now.

Cool story, and? lanka is 100 times more fun than ogris and acrid combined :)

Dera, Torid, Flux and Ignis are fun too, and they are also not realy usefull in combat.

Afuris are also Fun, but everyone uses Twin Vipers.

Akbolto is fun, but Kunais and Despair are better.

Reaper Prime looks cool, but Hate is stronger.

 

Fun is not everything if you are not usefull for your team.

Fun is Fun if you play solo. But its not Fun if you try to use a UP weapon in Highlevel Defense

On this video, the lanka doesnt have crit % and crit dmg, actually, it's a beast in single target DPS

 

 

Actually i kill ambulas with 6 - 7 crit shot

 

Are you really sure lanka does a beast in single target DPS? i think supra say no, and new sinpetron V. with primed chamber also say no. Grakata , Twin Viper also say ..................no

Ok, maybe its even usefull now, havnt seen it after its buff^^

only a few now, because i cant see any sense of doing it.

farming mods is easier if you dont need hours for one wave.

also its boring to stand inside Vaubans or Frosts Bubble and shoot things.

 

even if you do something around 40, or T3 runs and someone is there with a Braton.

Maybe its fun for HIM, but its not fun for the rest.

 

We had a...i think wave 35 run a while ago.

Two Snipers.

Me (Vauban) with Dread, and the other guy with Frost Prime and Lanka.

His lanka was realy cool, i wanted it so bad, it looked so awesome!

oneshot most of the enemys with a plasmabolt...but at the end...my result was still better. more damage, more kills...because i could hit more enemys in a shorter time.

 

now do it wih Lanka :)

Lanka can onehit things, but the DPS...are crap.

big problem of nearly all the sniper weapons. Vandaltron breaks this law.

You have primed chamber? you have the lanka? i have them, and i make more damage with my lanka :(

 

200 damage against 125 make all the difference with elemental mods

You should have read the Wiki.

 

It does only electric damage(relagating it to only good vs corpus) which is it's main flaw. But otherwise if you want to play warframe like a Team Fortress 2 sniper but only against Corpus... it seems pretty effective because of the high damage and clip size.

 

It usually takes a moment or so to acquire a sniping target so the charge time is not really a huge detriment; but its a very limited use weapon for a very high crafting price.
