Obtaining and leveling up every weapon is a fundamental aspect of progressing in Warframe, and acquiring the Opticor Vandal follows a similar path. Here’s the process for obtaining the Opticor Vandal in Warframe.
Where to Find the Opticor Vandal in Warframe
You can obtain the Opticor Vandal through one of two methods. The primary method involves completing the Thermia Fractures event and claiming the final reward. To participate in the event, head to the Orb Vallis when it’s active and utilize Coolant Canisters to gather Thermia from fractures scattered across the map. Each completed fracture contributes to your event progress, and upon reaching 100, you’ll receive the Opticor Vandal as a reward.
If the event is not currently active, another option is to acquire the weapon from Baro Ki’Teer, provided he is selling it during his visit. If available, you can purchase the Opticor Vandal for 550,000 Credits and 650 Ducats. However, given the simplicity of the Thermia Fractures event, this method should be reserved for obtaining additional copies of the weapon.
Is the Opticor Vandal Worth Using?
The Opticor Vandal boasts enhancements over the base Vandal, including improved critical stats, status chance, magazine size, reload speed, and faster charge rate, albeit at the expense of raw damage. It functions effectively as a sniper rifle, although it may lack some attributes of the game’s top-tier weapons. Nonetheless, if you enjoy using it, the Opticor Vandal proves to be a reliable choice. When modding the weapon, prioritize enhancements to its critical stats and consider incorporating status effects if feasible.
