Warframe Best Opticor Builds of 2021

Opticor is a charge trigger type rifle that shoots out laser blast causing massive damage as well as an area blast. It deals heavy Puncture damage to the enemy, destroying their armor. The area blast provides an additional advantage that can be used in crowd control.

Like any other charge-type weapon, it is slow to reload and cannot be used very well if the enemy is very close to you or is fast-moving.

Opticor having very significant damage of 1000 and area damage of 400 can be used as a canon to clear out hordes of enemies from a distance. While the damage output is relatively high, Opticor suffers at a fire rate due to the charging process.

But this charging action has its benefit. You can cancel the charging by doing any action to avoid wastage of ammo. Let us take a look at Opticor in detail and discuss the popular mods and Opticor builds.
