VOT Disrupter

[Ryaad]

I've never seen another player use one of these, I was just wondering if I am the only person in Defiance who actually likes these weapons. They're actually pretty good once you learn how to use them, put a scope on them and learn to quick-scope. Try to keep at about mid-range and then quick-scope anything near you. Pretty good weapon, especially with a good nano-effect.
(For those of you dismissing it because of the damage, it is 3-round burst with each of the rounds actually firing 3 bullets so every trigger pull takes 3 ammo and fires 9 bullets which each do a little over 100 damage so you do over 900 damage if you can land all the bullets on the target.)

VOT Disrupters are very good if you can get all the rounds to hit. Good damage and decent accuracy make it an effective weapon if you are a fan of burst-fire weapons.

I never use it myself, got better weapons. But doesn't it have a 1.0 Crit?

I would use it if it was full auto or at least the fire rate was better and the fan was smaller.... but with it having a larger fan the blast rifle and being slow firing I can't find any good situation to use it in.

It does.
Solid accuracy with no recoil and similar white damage to SAWs once you add in nano effect chance.
But you eat through ammo a little quick for an LMG.

There are a lot of very useful weapons that aren't really widespread yet. Quite a few people picked up on Wolfhounds and Ground Pounders, but there are other underdogs like VOT Techmag that can deal insane damage if used correctly.

Most simply prefer to be lead by the first thing they see, which is the damage number shown when inspecting a weapon, without actually calculating DPS with it's many factors. Which leads to prominence for weapons like the SAW or VBI Tacc AR.
That 40% less damage per bullet (VBI Tacc vs VBI regular) isn't the only thing to consider is often cast aside.

It's spread isn't nearly as bad when you put a scope on it and use that, I only ever fire it from the hip when I am right in front of the person, basically only when they are staggered from my melee. But yeah it's spread is atrocious from the hip, no doubt about that.

It was the best weapon in the game (and it has most impressive outlook when modded) - so it was nerfed to laughable 1k DPS (9x116) and bad targeting when moving. Yet another indicator devs don't play the game themselves and don't know what to do with it.

One of the unknown guns i think is just super OP is the VOT Mass launchers. The airburst effect and the ability to hit anyone, anywhere, hiding behind objects, on roof tops, or just hiding in general can't escape the raining rockets of doom.

I love that gun and have gotten really good at detonating it blindly over targets i see far away.

line up the shot, let it fire, run to cover or hide then (Boom). Make it rain.

I love this gun. I just wish it would level up and give credit for kills towards your launcher skills.

I personally enjoy just about all the VOT weapons, especially bolters. I absolutely love bolters. They may have lower damage to others but the fire rate and larger clip size made it for me. And despite the disruptor only doing 116x9 I still find it extremely useful. Also, the nano fragger is my favorite sawed off. First, it looks BA, second it has a wide spread so I can easily get a double kill or even get up close and ensure insta death .

Mass Cannons are well known and pretty awsome. But Ground Pounder has almost three times the ammo pool available and has less of a negative effect on your group ... yes, all those giant blue explosians can be annoying when used for every mob and not just in situations where the cluster weapons really shine.

I have a really purple one myself with stats good enough to keep forever, but between the exp bug and how annoying it might be for my team mates I rarely use it right now.
