Why is the Laser Rifle - quantum gyro compensating lens the highest rank mod?

[Katie]

The one before it, the fine-tuned beam focuser, seems better to me. Does the gyro compensating lens do something else not listed?

Besides reducing recoil?

That doesn't seem that advantageous as the recoil isn't that bad. And you basically have to give up a lot of other things to get it.

If you're still wondering about it, from what I've seen the Quantum Gyro Lens in conjunction with the Recoil-Compensating Stock will give you 0 down sight recoil. Meaning if you use an automatic laser rifle with those 2 or any laser rifle, and aim down sights to fire you will ALWAYS have perfect aim

Thats what Ive gathered. The Gyro lens is made for full auto laser weapons. Where as the focusing lens is better suited to semi auto laser weapons. Makes sense that way too.

Yeah, don't underestimate it's value on a full auto laser. it really makes a difference, especially when shooting at farther targets.

Totally talk trash about Institute weapon though. those thing's can't even have improved grips or stocks, nevermind the lack of a sniper barrel option or their lower damage (The RoF difference is so tiny you need a stopwatch to measure).

You get a lot of peopl defnding them because they are pretty though. With "You can get a lot of them easy" or "Well they are SUPPOSED to be weak!"... Which sounds suspiciously like pipe guns, and the people who defend iweapons still hate pipe guns, hmmmmm...

Yeah, that makes sense about the full automatic. I was a sniper so I didn't find this addon that useful. But glad it's useful to someone. I'm long done this game now. Did everything pretty much.

This is dead on.

With those mods an auto barel laser can maintain on target control while continuously firing. Add those mods onto the UP77 "Limitless Potenial" and you have an epic laser weapon.

Nice find. Wish the game would actually quantify recoil somewhere instead of vaguely saying "less recoil" without giving any stats on it.

Even more obvious, it sort of boggles the mind that magazine size isn't listed anywhere when you inspect a weapon; it tells you how much ammunition you have in total, and some vague fire rate (shots per minute? Frog knows), but you can only see capacity when you ready it,after you've already built the magazine mod.
