Opticor vs Opticor vandal

[-TigrexFj-]

Is it worth my time getting the vandal one or its just mr fodder?

[xCrossFaith]

It's been like 3 years since I touched the base Opticor, but vandal for sure is pretty good

[Miro Laaksonen]

Opticor Vandal is definitely not mr fodder. Not everyone seems to like the way it works, but it's a very strong weapon.

[Rahlence]

I'd say it's worth the time and I HATED doing fractures during their initial run. The challenge was to not fall asleep due to boredom.

Vandal sacrifices some raw damage for a faster charge time. Honestly, I'd say it's a bit better.

Here's the wiki page for the Vandal variant. The comparisons with the Opticor are down the page a bit.

opticor v pretty good and worth your time to farm it

[Ignitedstar]

IIRC The Opticor and Opticor Vandal are good for different reasons. It's worth your time getting both.

This guy made an overview of this opticor vandal:

At 10:24 he presents some neat builds

[RicktheSmugLord]

The base Opticor may deal more damage, but the Vandal has a higher fire rate, which one can deal more DPS then the regular Opticor.
Oh, and other stats too, Damage may be lower but every other stats is higher.

[Franss the Coffee Addict]

While vandal has better use in various playstyles, I kinda like the normal's long charge time. Makes it feel like using Spartan Laser.

[Ambulas]

Opticar vandal has more damage per second and its way more fun to use.

[PhellAsleep]

It's not a fitting replacement for the role the stock Opticor fills, but is a viable weapon in its own right. It's worth getting, but I wouldn't sell your original Opticor.

Vandal is more practical in general gameplay, and theoretically has higher DPS. Both kinda suck against armor anyway.

A good corrosive build shot 3 shot a kuva guradian on head shots. Mine with a riven always does it in two.

People hate the opticor vandal because they want a meme gun that 1shot level 150s with 800K damage. That was the base opticor, and the vandal not for memes. The base opticor to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slow and overkills everything. It was pretty useless outside of high level content, 100 baseline on fissures, because anything else was just to slow to justify using it. The vandal 1 shot heavy targets until like level 80, then it falls off, but makses up for it in DPS, and much better consistency then the opticor.
