Understand Vulkar
Useful when…
- Consider the hitscan attack, magazine, and reload properties when evaluating its sniper profile.
- Account for the stated falloff endpoint at 600 m without assuming a full intermediate curve.
Attack and damage
The Normal Attack lists about 225 total base damage, with rounded components of about 180 Impact, 33.8 Puncture, and 11.2 Slash. It has 20% critical chance, 2× critical multiplier, and 25% status chance. The semi-automatic trigger has listed fire rate 1.5, with no explicit unit. The magazine holds six rounds and reload takes three seconds.
Range falloff
Normal Attack falloff starts at 400 m and reaches a 50% reduction at 600 m. The full falloff curve between those points is not specified.
Other sniper descriptions
Rubico has listed critical chance of 30% and multiplier of 3, compared with Vulkar's 20% and 2; these are stat comparisons only. Snipetron is described as an accurate long-range rifle with optical zoom. Sporothrix is described as firing a virus-soaked barb that continues to attack before erupting. These facts do not establish an overall ranking.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The six-round magazine is followed by a three-second reload.
- Falloff reaches a 50% reduction at 600 m after starting at 400 m.
- The listed fire rate has no explicit unit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Calling the 1.5 listed fire rate shots per second.
- Assuming the falloff curve between 400 m and 600 m.
- Using rounded damage components as if they were exact values.
