(XBOX)Grimsley Clause Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Depends highly here, Synapse is more of a 1 on 1 Weapon, whereas Amprex hits a lot of people at a time. It's more "Do you want Crowd Control or Not"? (Though honestly, my Amprex destroys everything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDeadsinxX Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amprex is way better, if you get a riven for it, it can become very deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComCray Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 "If you get a riven fo.." No. Stop. Shut up. That is useless information since you can say that for any weapon in the game. I bet with the right riven you can even make the single furax end-game viable. This was NOT what op asked for. Op asked, which is better. Amprex or Synapse. Any answer should assume either no riven or both having a riven. So no actual need to even go there.. Bunch of kuva junkies.. As to a real answer: as always, it depends. The short is use synapse for single targets, a bit like quake's lightning gun. Only bring Amprex when you're about to take on mobs. The trick with Amprex is the way it's arcs work. When modded well they'll split into multiple new arcs which will cause a sea of electricity decimating any group of targets, the more the merrier. But when there's no real groups to use to your advantage, say in a bossfight, the damage is too low considering the ammo it eats. Multishot, range and punch through are key here. Forget about fire rate and shoot with short bursts. The synapse OTOH is a beast when taking on single targets from mid to short range. Slap as much fire rate as you can on this baby and land those headshots, leave a path of crisps in your wake.. I'm personally a big fan of the amprex especially when fighting infested (anywhere) or corpus on surv/inv/exc/def missions. As long as there's real mobs coming my way. Grineer generally aren't all that impressed on higher levels. And though it's great fun to see them do the robot for 0.nn secs, it's frustrating to see them pick up where they left off with some minor scratches. Especially since that probably was all your ammo spend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silence00 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 One is CC, one is Single Target... one is not better than the other. The answer is: Situational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Magician_NG Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I remember the days when the synapse was far superior to the soma. But that was years ago. These days, I'd pick the amprex over the synapse, but that's only because of the chain-lightning-effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monybags33 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I don't use either, never really got into them. Tried a 5 plus forma synapse only to be disappointing. It's just not the same. Edited May 17, 2017 by Monybags33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
