Rubico vs Vectis Prime

[C.C. 折オリ枝 の 夫]

Ellow all, how are you this afternoon? (Or morning/evening depending on case)

I am once again looking for help and want to ask the community to guide me a little with their endless knowledge.

I want use a sniper for my Banshee and between all the sniper riffles, Rubico and VP are the ones I like the most.

But right now I can't forma both so I'd like to know which one you guys think it's better and possibly why.

I'd go with Vectis Prime, Charged Chamber and Depleated Reload are practically made for it.

I just got Charged Chamber from yesterday's sortie XD so I'll give it a try

It's really down to personal preference, in this case.

Personally, I usually prefer Rubico for the much higher crit multiplier, sniper combo and 5 round magazine.

However, the much faster reload on the Vectis Prime can be a huge advantage in some situations.

As far as damage goes, they are both pretty similar. If Rubico crits, it's much better than the VP. If it doesn't, Vectis Prime is superior by a large margin.

Sniper Combo?

Thanks for the input, I'll keep it in mind and see how it works for me.

You need the Depleted Reload though since VP by default hold 2 ammo per mag, making charged chamber a bit... weird. I'll go with VP for its high crit (lower than rubico but still high), stat chance, and I myself no too keen for keeping combo shot

I have the Depleted Reload, just never found a use for it. I didn't delete or trade it because I thought that if it's a cursed mod it might come useful one day

EDIT: Also, just for testing around I could've reload manual after every shot.

well my fav sniper is the lanka due to being the only elemental sniper,silent and that it has the highest punture rate but for this discussion i would say go for the vectis prime

Since I plan to play Banshee with the sniper, her passive will make it a silent weapon.

But I might give the Lanka a try, at worst it's a mastery fodder.

All snipers have a shot combo depending on number of successful hits(punchtrough included), similar to melee combo counter.

Due to the magazine size on the Rubico, you can ramp up the combo counter between each reload quite easily, up to 1.5x, if i reall correctly. However, due to its high reload time, this combo resets by the time you finish the reload animation

The vectis prime, due to it's unique reload and fire mechanic, barely manages to do this, giving you a very, very small margin of time to aim and shoot.

There's always Harkonar Scope

I see, never noticed this. Well, the more you know.....

Well, yea, you can reload each shot, but putting Depleted Reload will help you to reload tad faster as well.

Should you miss your shot, the combo counter will be reset, so take your time

Then I'll stick to the VP, i miss shots so I'd rather not worry about combos

I didn't like the Vulgar so I'm pretty sure i won't like the Wraith either. Same reason why I don't abuse the Tonkor.

But just curious, is it one of Baro's weapons?

It is, an event item in the past too. But from what I heard, wraith and vandal weapon will come from invasion mission, but dunno how to get them.

From what I noticed, they are rewarded as parts as battle pay, but for the moment I do not know if the bp is there as well or from the shop, but i lean to believe it's there as well.

Although it might be a little off topic (we're still talking sniper rifle so.....) I find this addition to be more better than worse, as people will do invasions more than just for Mutagen Masses, potatoes, coordinates and rarely some forma (along those who have a reason to farm Zanuka and G3), yet the downside I find is that (at least for me) there seems to be no pattern for when which weapon is a reward, so it might take way more to farm the weapon than farming the hundred plat to buy it from someone.
