V63 Carbine vs Laser Rifle vs Ultracite Laser Rifle

[Ravenclawisthebesthouse]

which is better

[lockwoodx]

Do you prefer repair bills, ammo bills, or wet-napkin damage?

You're still thinking about that quad ultracite explosive lucky laser pistol I had for sale eh?

Ultracite laser. Highest fire rate of them all and lower AP cost than Carbine.

Repair kits are easier for me

Ultracite laser: faster fire, lower AP and small stature not bulky like carbine.
Carbine: fast fire, the more you shot the more damage you inflict, no recoil as far as the claim. (carbine had a overheat mechanism, where as long as you keep shotting non-stop, the damage will increased significantly, but it will cooldown if you're stop shotting or reload).

Currently bugged v63
Even when it wasn't bugged it was mid

vs

Laser Rifle - also mid

vs

Ultracite Laser Rifle - Green beams and red explosions... unfortunately mid for damage but a mostly unique attack look

[insert food here]

My main character is an energy commando and uses an Ultracite laser rifle as their main weapon. Quad, Faster fire, less AP cost. Is a very decent gun. Not going to compete with a fixer but for energy rifle options it is decent.

VATS or hipfire?

For hipfire the Ultracite is good but it almost needs to be quad to be practical. Carbine is ok in hipfire and it's naturally large capacity means you can devote that 1st star to something else.

The other disadvantage of the Ultracite is it's fire rate can be too high for the game... On paper it should be a dps sovereign, in reality not every hit will register.

But... personally I like the standard laser as single fire, rifle or gunslinger. It is much easier on the ammo cost, concentrated fire makes single fire far more accurate than autos and it can have a slightly further range than ballistics (both as a stat and the physical shot in game. Lasers travel much further in free aim than many ballistic weapons, useful to 'tag' at long range events such as Eviction Notice and SBQ).
