Jaclearsup Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I just completed War Within and I'm kinda looking for high crit weapons, whats better, Amprex or Synapse? Since they have higher crit than soma, and I'm not sure about the dread tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaftMeat Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Amprex, the chaining damage is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)jFresh215 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 amprex by a mile. these weapons are so totally different from the soma. they are actually wildly different from each other. The dread is a whole other thing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Akuma_Asura_ Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Atomos itself is better then synapse , sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)selfproclaimed Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Hm. Neither. Atomos with ruinous extension. It's not a crit weapon but as far as chaining goes, I like it way better then amprex crit though. Amprex. I personally use the kohm. Not really a crit weapon but with a good crit riven. It crits a lot ,combine with the shotgun crit fire rate arcane. Awesome. Edited May 16, 2017 by (PS4)selfproclaimed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaliazane Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Amprex but you need both Punch through and Sinister Reach for it's full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arezael Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have both with crit chance Rivens, and overall even with permanent redcrits on the Synapse, the Amprex is something I use more. I do take the Synapse out for a spin on some Sortie Assassinates and occasional Kuva Floods, but just due to the sheer number of enemies that usually appear in mission, I find some kind of AreaEffect/Chain hit gun to be of greater use. The Amprex has always been one of my favourite guns though, so that's with a little bias. I'm hoping it gets a new variant soon(ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenoncat20 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Amprex all the way, can slaughter level 100+ with my current setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)dursereg Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex I have riven on mine that gives me 208% crit chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 hardly a contest, Amprex has insane DPS and can better affect groups. it's an even better example than the Soma Prime of how a weapon with low damage but high crits can be incredibly viable. my only complaint is that it burns through ammo quickly, but it's nothing that Rifle Ammo Mutation or Carrier Prime can't fix. Dread is nice for when you want something with a bit more range, an Amprex is only good at shotgun distances (ironically), while the Dread can hit anyting if you aim it right. it's better for stealth too as it's quiet. 6 minutes ago, (PS4)jFresh215 said: No, it just does insane burst damage and you can get it to 100% status. Those slash procs just cut through anything pretty quick 100% Status corrosive build is the way to go. there's almost nothing my Tigris Prime cannot kill with both barrels, and anything that does survive doesn't exactly get off scot free! even before the Simulor Nerf, I took my Boomstick to the Sorties to get the job done!

Avynire Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Havent tried synapse. but got one amprex riven that has cc,cd and damage, intrigues me to try building amprex again, not fan of its ammo consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolaireTheSunWalker Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex for speed running, synapse for single dps is how I do it. Also with a really insane synapse riven I tend to use the synapse a lot more these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvaDreams Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex is my go to for T3 Hyena pack assassination missions.... Go with a Radiation build and just nuke everything! Even if things only get clipped they turn on each other (Plus Radiation works wonders on their armor and robotics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureTerra Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex. Its a better Volt in a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkPot Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex the og no aim gun in wf before simulor and stuff came. Amprex+Sisnister Reach+Shred or anything that can provide punchthrough easily shreds through mobs due to lighting chain effect. Tho synapse is pretty good, but when it comes to pure cheese Amprex is better. Do remember to equip ammo mutation + carrrier ammo case regardless when using any of them as they both burn ammo real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go for those headshots for the crits. No wonder you need the ammo mutation mods. Edited May 17, 2017 by SilvaDreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Neither for me. Maxed both and left them alone, like most cheese weapons. Though I have a Synapse riven for ages that is both crit stats and ammo bonuses which might make it decent when maxed, but have no interest in ever using the weapon.

ashrah Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 synapse have better burst dmg for single target its good lets say if u doing endless runs and u wish to focus only on ancients... amprex is more for tresh killing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx_mtv_xXx Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex for crowd control, plus its rivens scale well thanks to decent disposition. Synapse for single targets, its rivens have max stats due to 5/5 disposition. Soma is a great bullet hose, but its rivens are weakest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract7777 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex has really been revived by rivens. Used to be it was just a bit underpowered in sortie due to how quickly it lost ammo, even if you aimed. Still good, but a tad underpowered. With rivens, I can bring it to sortie 3 and not feel like its going to blow through ammo. Synapse is good, but I don't think its better enough to be worth being only single target. Plus its infested and I think it looks ugly as sin. I still want an Amprex variant at some point. I have been dreaming of an Amprex Vandal for literally years now... I wouldn't even mind a marginal upgrade like Supra Vandal where it is mostly a few not directly combat related stats being upgraded. An Amprex with more max ammo capacity, bigger magazine sizes, faster reload, maybe just a teensy bit more range. Just utility stuff mostly.

KiteoHatto Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have a special place in my heart for synapse, back in the old days it was THE thing to get to shoot through volt shields. I don't feel the same about amprex. Then again, i always put punch through on all my weapons so the aoe advantage of amprex isnt as valuable to me.
