There are many things said about the Opticor: That is the best weapon in the
game, that is the worst weapon in the game and only used for one shooting bosses ... Today we're gonna find out exactly what this weapon is capable of. The Opticor is a fantastic weapon that deals absurd amounts of damage, but sacrifices usability to achieve that.
Hey guys, hello and welcome back. As always, my name is Leyzar and I have a couple of Opticor builds laid out for you. As per usual, we'll have something cheap and affordable, something anybody can get into, but we also have an endgame setup with an Opticor Riven.
The Mastery Lockout on the Opticor is no less than 14. That being said ... I will maintain my New Player Friendly approach, because I want anybody watching this video to understand how the weapon functions, and how it should be built, so if you're a veteran of the game, please have a little patience. And with that out of the way, let's jump into the Opticor!
Let's check out how the weapon behaves without any sorts of mods equipped. I'm simply gonna be taking a couple of free shots ... You will notice that the Opticor has a fairly lengthy charge time to it. You don't have to charge all the way, you can let go at roughly the halfway point, but it will deal half the damage. In the past you were able to hold the charge in, and release it when you're good and ready, unfortunately ... not anymore. Now ... there is one additional thing ... I don't know if you can notice this, but at the end of the beam, at the point of impact, there will be an AoE explosion which can proc Magnetic ... so there is that take into account. The damage of the explosion is not constant throughout its entire length, it deals more damage towards the center.
Let's jump into the stats and see precisely what we're dealing with.
Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if you still don't know how to obtain this one, jump into actions
and plug in an Orokin Catalyst. it can be obtained from alerts, invasions, or, if you're lucky, from the daily sortie. You also have the option of paying 20 plat for it.
My weapon has been format a total of 7 times, but this was done for the purpose of testing and all sorts of other combinations. For the Opticor build I'm recommending you guys, 4 forma should prove sufficient.
The Accuracy for the Opticor is absolutely hilarious, at 100, which makes it a very worthy candidate for Heavy Caliber, but more on mods a bit later.
Charge Rate is the weak point of the Opticor, it is ... it's mostly how its held back from being way too strong ... two seconds worth of charge time at the end of which you will be firing whether you
like it or not ...
Critical chance is decent at 20%, the multiplier is absolutely awesome at 2.5 X and the fire rate 1.0.
Just keep in mind that you do have that charge rate... Magazine is 5 ... now this would have been really nice if it was just a tad high. In case you want to build your Opticor for High Fire Rate, you're gonna be bumping into that two-second reload time more often than you would like.
