Good Weapons To Charge Up Nova's Antimatter Drop?

[JefPlays]

As I'm sure you all know, Nova's Antimatter Drop becomes a LOT more powerful if it's shot at a bit first. But the question I have is: what weapons will let you get the most out of it?

Here's a short list I have of weapons that could work well:

-Braton & variants: With the exception of the Mk-1, these weapons all seem to have pretty decent DPS as well as good accuracy. Good potential

-Dera: Braton-like DPS but with zero recoil and pinpoint accuracy. However, I've found mine's damage output to be... lacking so far

-Gorgon: Accuracy notwithstanding, this thing's sheer DPS should be able to get a huge damage boost going

-Supra: Same as above

-Acrid/Kunai/Despair: Pretty obvious, complete cheese but that's kinda the point. Maybe less the throwing knives due to dropoff

-Flux/Spectra: Apparently does quite well according to some folks, but I'm skeptical myself due to their short range and high ammo consumption

So, what do you lot think? Is this a fair short-list of choices, or am I completely missing something?

Im using Flux Rifle for that and I find it very satisfying seeing those huge numbers from few ticks of laser.

Have you tried the Snipetron Vandal/Lanka yet? Also, I can imagine the Ogris would work wonders, too.

Flux is great. It keeps you moving. I walk forward while firing to charge the ball since the Flux only extends for mid-range combat. It's high dps plus pinpoint accuracy makes it easy to consistently hit the Drop.

any thing with decent dps and recoil will do the trick

I, too am interested in this.

 

So far, I've been using a full clip from Hek or Despair to boost my Drop damage, but have used a Vandaltron a few times with good results.

 

Stretch helps increase the explosion radius significantly, but now I break all the windows...

I use a Spectra, and the shorter range doesn't really affect much, as I usually immediately aim and unload after initiating Antimatter Drop anyways.

Like the Flux user above me said, it's quite satisfying. When the Drop doesn't go invisible, of course.

 

I've also used a Dera, and yeah it doesn't seem to be the best thing for loading Antimatter Drops...

Best weapon for Anitmatter Drop? Being the host.

Just as with Nyx's absorb, the ogris does not work on antimatter drop.

Go with Flux :D

Close range Ogris is a great way to kill yourself.

Flux rifle does amazing things with Antimatter Drop, that is if you have the right build.

Try dera, or even kestrel with maxed out damage mods. those two seem to workout pretty well with that ability but there are other weapons that may be better but those are what I myself suggest.

oh and despair with all damage and firate mods on it.
