Understand Laser Rifle
Useful when…
- Equipping a companion weapon with automatic projectile fire.
- Using a Puncture-heavy damage profile.
Attack and damage profile
Its Normal Attack fires projectiles at a listed speed of 40. The attack lists 45 total damage: 36 Puncture, 4.5 Impact, and about 4.5 Slash. It fires at a listed speed of 5 shots per second, with 17% critical chance, a 1.8× critical multiplier in the attack entry, and 7.5% status chance. A separate top-level stat lists the critical multiplier as 1.75×; keep that value distinct from the attack entry.
Handling in use
The weapon is automatic, lists accuracy 100, and has one projectile per shot. Its magazine holds 20 rounds and its listed reload time is 1 second. Since the attack is explicitly a projectile, its shots have travel speed; accuracy 100 does not make them hitscan.
Comparisons by stated traits
Prime Laser Rifle lists 20% critical chance and a 2× critical multiplier. Burst Laser Prime is described as firing laser bursts, while Vulklok is described as Diriga’s sniper rifle and lists 35% critical chance with a 2.5× critical multiplier. These details distinguish their stated profiles, but do not establish a universal upgrade choice or comparable full attack performance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Projectile travel speed means shots are not hitscan.
- The 20-round magazine and 1-second reload define its listed ammunition handling.
- The two critical multiplier fields differ: 1.8× in the attack entry and 1.75× in the separate top-level stat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Calling its projectile attack hitscan.
- Combining the attack-entry critical multiplier of 1.8× with the separate top-level value of 1.75× as though they were the same field.
