Some love for Velox/Velox Prime

[Apex Artist]

As a new player I've read up a lot on many of the weapons in the game, and have even gotten my hands on some of the standard mention guns, but Velox so far, I always come back to Velox. It's a long range quick kill solution. If an enemy has spawned, it can take it down. It also hits very fast and is easy on ammo.
Yet, even after searching these forums, I didn't see much mention of this secondary, which happens to be strong enough to run as your primary. At least up to my MR8 level.
Any love for Velox/Velox Prime here?

Its kinda outclassed by lich weapons and incarnon weapons

Yeah of course. Though I haven't hit SP, the Void, or the War Within mission yet, so these weapons aren't in my inventory to outclass the Velox. I do have a max rank Soma and the Velox is stronger than it, though probably not the Incarnon version.

Eh, the Soma Incarnon isn't great. :D

Bottom line though - use what you like, but don't be at all afraid of trying new things either. My favorite weapons are pretty different from one another, but I like them for different reasons, and for different situations.

Sometimes, you need a weapon that can clear a crowd quickly. Sometimes, you need a weapon that can dump enough damage into a single target to erase their existence as fast as possible.

Sometimes, you need both.

Thanks, really. I'm actually always ranking up new-to-me weapons, and keeping those I enjoy most... and trying to build or strengthen a broad range of specialties. It's what WF is about right, until you have everything anyway. :)

Most long ranged single target weapons are objectively bad. They tend to have high damage, yes, but they dont have enough punch through, have no aoe, and have low max ammo.

For a game that features hordes of enemies, they just arent that effective.

As for boss killing, its far easier to mod a horde clearing gun to kill a boss than it is to modify a boss killing gun to clear a horde.

That doesnt mean I dont love some of them, but they just dont fit most of the game.

Everyone has their personal "comfort picks" that they picked up in the early to mid game and just loved the feel or utility of. For me, that was my Gaze secondary kitgun a friend helped me farm the resources for right after Fortuna came out. I had been playing for a while before then, but I'd never found a secondary that really clicked with me and had been continuously bouncing from one to another for ages. But between the good range, hitscan laser, pax charge for battery-ammo, and stats I got to pick... it was just great. It was easily my most used secondary all the way until the Tenet Cycron came out which largely replaced it. And after that I've really shifted away from the "one gun" playstyle and have a wide range of weapons I bring out for different missions.

It sounds like you've fallen in love with the Velox, and so long as you continue to keep its mods and builds up to date I see no reason it can't continue to carry you well into the Steel Path and endgame. It's stats are fine and, as you mentioned, it has a few nice quality of nice features to help it stand out from the crowd. I might even go so far as to suggest you invest a little bit of plat into extra modding loadout slots for the prime version. That way you can have differently named modding configs (to hot-swap in navigation) for different elemental/faction combos.

I understand. I love the Quartakk although I don't use it as much anymore. It's still one of my most used weapons since the Ghoul event happened many years ago. Never saw anything about the Quartakk and if I did they were trashing on it lol.

My most-used primaries:
- Primary Tombfinger kitgun (yes, still)
- Primary Sporelacer kitgun (it's a phys damage Amprex - don't judge me)
- Kuva Tonkor (heh)
- Tenet Arca Plasmor (really makes me wish for a Tenet Opticor)
- Phenmor (I mean...)
- Felarx (good shotgun, its incarnon form is just awful though)
- Strun Prime (both before and after I got the Incarnon adapter for it)

My most-used secondaries:
- Kuva Nukor (set for Magnetic damage for maximum status procs. don't judge me)
- Lex Prime (with incarnon adapter, not so much without it)
- Despair (both before and after I got the Incarnon for it)
- Secondary Tombfinger kitgun

Even a normal Cycron kinda has better stats

[tv]

tbh even with the passive, running out of ammo in circuit and deep archim is huge concern

[DeAlph]

currently, i'm using Slam Magistar incarnon , it overshadowed every aoe weapons.

Velox + Arum Spinosa is good tool to delete Necramech Disruption even on highest lv 999
search on Youtube you'll get the build
