GennaPetrovich Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Is it worth to farm all the syndicate points to get vaykor hek? I mean there is scattered justice mod (i already have it) for regular hek, but I don't know how good is it compared to vaykor hek. So which is better? Or maybe vaykor hek isnjust a sidegrade with more ammo and crit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypernaut1 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) It has more ammo and crit Edited March 11, 2017 by Hypernaut1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THeMooN85 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 So... I just put my Vaykor Hek to simply show you... YES it's worth it. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)ThermalStone Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I have both. For most players, Hek with Scattered Justice is better. If you have a fully ranked Prime Ravage, Vaykor Hek is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerinSol Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Regular hek is better until you have Primed Point Blank enter the equation. Then no matter what. Vaykor Hek beats it. Edited March 11, 2017 by AerinSol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaykor Hek beats it. That makes no sense, Primed Point Blank is a damage increase for both weapons in the same ratio. To the OP... The regular Hek (with Scattered Justice) is better early on, but as you start investing forma into both weapons the Vaykor Hek overtakes it and becomes the stronger weapon.

He meant Primed Ravage probably. Vaykor Hek has 25% crit chance, Hek has only 10%. Edited March 11, 2017 by aligatorno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no difference, you're still increasing your flat damage bonus from +90% to +165% on both weapons (+150% to +225% with Blaze). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckMaverick Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 All weapons are worth getting at some point, just for the mastery if nothing else. I'd put a potato on Hek and use that for now but don't worry about putting forma into it unless you have some to spare, get the Vaykor Hek once you've got your hands on Primed Ravage. I'd also look at the Lex Prime instead of the Vaykor Marelok, it's one of the easier primes to get, although the Vaykor Marelok is a very good weapon.

I'd spend your points on the Vaykor Marelok for now then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerinSol Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I did mean Point Blank. The extra crit scales off the base damage. Sure Ravage will make the v.hek be more hek but, it still needs to initially give off more damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Vaykor Hek has better crits, so if you have a Primed point Blank and a primed Ravage to make the most of that, it's pretty great. you also get double mag capacity (8 rounds over the standard Hek's 4) and the Syndicate Proc heals you. it's often a go-to weapon for Grineer Sorties. more of a Tigris guy myself, but nobody can deny the truth: Vaykor Hek is some SERIOUS firepower! glad to hear you like the Marelok too, it's a very nice pistol, and while I prefer Lex prime (which is now AkLex Prime, hell yeah!), Vaykor Marelok is another hard-hitter. wanting a Twin Marelok for double flip-cocking action!

ChuckMaverick Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I don't know where this idea is coming from that (Primed) Point Blank has any relationship to crits. Replacing a maxed Point Blank (+90%) with a maxed Primed Point Blank (+165%) will increase your overall damage output by 39.5% (265/190). Whether your weapon has 0% crit, 100% crit, or anything in between makes no difference to that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Vaykor Hek is objectively superior to Hek for Damage even without Primed Ravage. will deal slightly more Damage per Shot plus the higher Rate of Fire, shorter Reload, and larger Magazine. and then add Primed Ravage. Hek will be very consistent though, you won't get shots here and there that happen to deal very poor Damage, which is worth noting though i don't think it's a worry between the Mag/Reload/RoF. with the extra Multi-shot, Hek has a little bit of Status though. but neither is really a Status Shotgun...

Obviousclone Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 to be honest up until level 60, both hek's regardless of crit/multishot bonuses are going to oneshot your enemy per shot. so the only noticeable difference up to then is the fact that the vaykor comes with 8 shots which means you spend less time reloading. I'd give it to the vaykor hek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
