Dera Vandal Build 2018 (Guide) - The Corpus Workhorse

It's no secret that I'm a fan of futuristic weapons... Basically anything that has laser beams or photon rockets peaks my interest, so I decided (despite popular opinion) to give the Dera Vandal a try.
What I found was an average run of the mill assault rifle, with a high status chance of thirty percent, but that's about it. Not to say that the weapon can't pack a punch. When build correctly the weapon has a strong kick, and can strip the armor off the strongest of enemies in just a couple of seconds. What it lacks in critical chance it more then makes-up for in usability, as the weapon has almost no recoil at all, and also sports a riven disposition of four out of five.


Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 7 Primary Weapon - The Dera Vandal . As per usual, we're gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic Endgame set up with a Riven. 

When talking about the Dera Vandal's Build, as per the usual, we will be starting by checking how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and a short analysis of the stats. Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Dera Vandal only has 30 out of 30,  then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. My weapon has been format a total of 5 times. That is because the Dera Vandal does not come with any polarity, so you will have to forma 5 times for the weapon build i am gonna be recommending you.



Accuracy is 100. As you saw there, the weapon is pretty accurate, however, if I am going to put on  Heavy Caliber ... check out the accuracy value... honestly I can't even explain it. It's a mystery to me. It goes down to 7.2 and you saw how the weapon handled before (video). Well I'll check it out after doing this .... it's an absolute bloody mess, for that reason I am forced not to recommend Heavy Caliber on this weapon, and to be honest, this mod would have been a godsend for it. In any case, let us continue: Critical Chance is 8%, abysmal. The multiplier is nice at 2.0 X but there's not really much we can get out of it considering the low base Crit Chance. However, keep in mind that effects such as Arcane Avenger additive after Crit Chance effects will be extremely good on the Dera Vandal.

Fire Rate 11.25 for a magazine of 60, and a reload of 1.8 - little to no downtime when it comes to the Dera Vandal, and of course you can further augment this with Carrier together with Ammo Case. Riven Dispozition 4 out of 5, which means that the Dera Series is not exactly popular, they're seen more kind of like "Baby Weapons", however, you will see that the weapon can pack one serious punch.

The continuation of the guide can be found by checking the video down below.


Conclusion:Overall The Dera Vandal is a good assault rifle capable of fully removing an enemies armor but lacks base critical chance which sets it a bit back. Good, not great.
