What mods do you like on the volge gun?

[Pyth]

Does the burst mod actually work on it? And what about elemental converters? (if they even still have those)

[Deikon]

I thought the recoil was okay so I burned a melee mod on the stock. Of course a power bore barrel, and a rapid reload for mag mod. The high cap mod gets you what 2 maybe 3 extra rounds at the most (sorry, too lazy to do the actual math). And yes, one of my friends was able to put a incendiary mag mod on one.

My tip with that gun is you have to lead your shots, basically guess where the enemy is going to move. Cause if they're moving around your not going to hit them aiming directly at them. Unless of course they're standing still, but nevertheless it's a pretty formidable gun

This. It sort of aims more like the flare gun and it doesn't have spash damage. Easy to miss by small margins and end up hitting behind a target.

Still have incendiary and IIRC the toxic ones were converted to radiation. But a toxic gun I bought at a faction vendor a long time ago, still shows the toxic thing on it.

I put the incendiary mod on it. It doesn't trigger often since it's a green and hard to get crit hits but looking at the other options:

Rapid Reload shaves about a 1/2 second off reload
High Cap Mag changes the mag from 15 to 23
Burst Mod with a 1.5 fire rate?

I rarely empty a whole mag at one time with this anyway since it's so slow and with Preparedness perk it usually has all the ammo I need when I switch back to it.

Alright, so anyone remember the Plasma Pulsar from the beta? That's basically what this thing is, though to a much lesser (thank God) extent. Its great at hitting crits as long as they're kind of facing you and it does great crit (almost 5k per shot with appropriate perks)

External Recoil Reduction Stock
Ionic Barrel
High Capacity Mag
Assault Scope (or whichever one doesn't add a scope [gives bonus to movement accuracy])

The secret to using this thing well is to keep mobile. Its accuracy is the same regardless of whether you're ADSing or not, so don't even bother ADSing. Just keep those crit spots in front of you and you'll be just (relatively. Player IQ factors in heavily here) fine.
