I'm not even joking. Once you start using Ocucor, all other weapons will feel like junk.
Ocucor creates up to four tendrils on kill which automatically aim at the nearest enemy. You basically just hold the trigger and run and it kills everything in your path.
It has a new augment mod in the current Nightwave that adds up 240% CC and SC while reloading it's magazine for each kill.
It has good Riven dispo as well in case you want to get one. I highly recommend getting Punch Through and Multishot on it.
All combined, once you start using Ocucor, your aim will deteriorate, you'll get lazy, and other weapons will feel underwhelming.
The point of the augment as that it reloads the weapon on kill without disabling tendrils, combined with any source of ammo mutation is enough to wipe level 200 steel path without even aiming.
Sure sure, but getting that initial kill to build up the stacks can sometimes be fun in later level steel path, at least i struggled with it with yareli in duviri.
I won't lie and say it's perfect as it is. The low base stats surely impacts the performance, but it can be worked around with Galv mods, Arcanes, and Warframe abilities.
Mine is built for CC, CD, and Heat damage with Viral added through Nourish. It has Cascadia Flare and a +Damage +CC +PT Riven. That PT helps a lot, even though the homing feature doesn't support it, because the angle of the Tendrils allows them to hit multiple enemies and kill them quicker.
It struggles with Overguard so that might need a melee or a primary nudge sometimes but it can otherwise melt through lvl 200 Steel Path enemies like lightsaber through butter.
It's fun though. The upside is I have plenty of options if I want to kill just as much stuff. So I can use it some, and then I can go use other things.
Still a huge fan of the Sepulcrum, and it delivers whenever I need a heavy hitter.
Can you elaborate on the Sepulcrum? Just checked by Codex and I did max one but I have no memory of it and back then, apparently, decided against keeping it. This wouldn't be the first foolish decision I've made about what should be kept v chucked.
So the Sepulcrum is a Bolter from 40k - literally, because a 40k designer worked on Deimos.
It shoots slowly, it reloads slowly, it fires two heavy-damage shots, has great damage/crit/status stats, and it has a mark-and-fire lockon mode you charge up by getting kills.
It feels a bit bad until you get some sort of reload speed on it.
Eh, I used it and honestly it was okay (for reference I don't use Rivens), but the ramp-up is a real pain on Steel Path. It's not really that much better than the Tenet Cycron or Kuva Nukor, even with no reloading, and the benefit of those other weapons is that they don't need to ramp up as hard and you can't mess the damage up by accidentally reloading. The augment mod makes it a much better gun, but it's not king of the hill and isn't a ruiner of the game. Ultimately, it's just a matter of preference.
