"Ultracite" Laser Gun/Rifle, what's the point?

[RACHMANOVSKI]

So I recently I got "lucky" and murmurgh drop me Bloodied ffr ultracite laser gun, since I'm running Commando build so I modify it into Auto Rifle + prime capacitor for that bonus dmg against scorched.

However, compared to my normal bloodied laser gun, it's a lot weaker, even with the damage bonus against scorched beast, so what's the point of this weapon if the normal laser gun can outperform it in every single scenarios? (normal critters, deathclaw, scorched, Scorchedbeast and etc.)

Am I missing something?

It trade firepower to higher fire rate, so you can shoot it faster than your normal laser.

I guess, but last night I just got my hands on Bloodied FFR Laser gun too, I mean the general problem with Ultracite is it is weaker than standard Laser weapon, it doesn't seems to be having any bonus damage against any particular enemy, if it was dealing much more bonus damage against SBQ, I think it would be worth it just for that particular fight, but then again it doesn't--I wish they just increase the damage a bit more (or at least on par with normal laser gun, and then make it deal more damage against Scorched but make it more harder to craft).

The normal laser guns called ultracite have a faster rate of fire and a green coloured laser beam but lower damage, compared to normal laser guns.

Gatling lasers work differently though. The ultracite version simply does more damage at the same rate of fire.

None of these ultracite laser guns will do extra damage to scorched unless they are using the prime receiver mod. Just because it has ultracite in the name does not mean extra damage to scorched and scorched beasts. When you put on the primed receiver it will say it is doing bonus damage to these enemies in the weapon description.

Exactly, if the Ultracite Gatling does more damage then why the Ultracite Laser Gun does not? :/

I haven't try the normal ultracite laser gun so I don't now if even without legendary effect it does have faster fire rate, but I doubt it--even if it does have faster fire rate, it's quite meaningless if the ammo capacity is the same with normal laser gun, normal laser gun does a bit more damage, even more when it's bloodied.

I guess Ultracite Laser Gun existence only justified as to "one of B.O.S invention against Scorched/beast"--but it's quite stupid considering it does not deal any bonus damage against scorched, unlike Firebreathers "Scorched Killer receiver"-- which is also exist because of the story being them looking for ways to kill scorched more effectively.

I really like the gun and beam colors, but unfortunately it will not replacing my Bloodied FFR Normal laser gun considering the weaker stats :(
