First, heat has nothing to do with damage. How long you hold the trigger affects damage. (LR's damage is exponential unlike every other weapon in game)
The LR is the ultimate mid-long (90-105) weapon. At these distances other weapons cannot out dps you.
Do not burst fire the laser. If you find a group of people bring it close to o.h (59 rounds on any suit other than amarr assault). After, let it cool down for a few milliseconds (if at lvl 5 LR) and release the last 41 rounds. Go into cover, rep up a bit, restart.
When you are just engaging the enemy, you have to miss the first few rounds so your dps is higher by the time you reach armor. Since the profile is +20s/-20a the little misses can give you the jump on the person. Prefiring and abusing cover can keep you alive, and earn you the kill.
Proficiency is a must (imho) the fewer rounds spent on shields, the higher the chance of you getting the kill (Prof 5 has saved me many times (as the kill was earned at O.H.).).
If you must use the laser in close range, fire 59 rounds. Switch to your sidearm and from there pray. Since you have your anti-shield weapon (LR), your sidearm should be anti armor (Magsec, SMG).
These are a few things i do to keep my cal assault a threat w/ the laser. High recharge + regs to keep me alive between cooldown periods. But i'm pretty sure these work with every LR user. |

sorry bit i have to disagree on the range its more of i mid range anything over 80m its damage drop to about 30% i constantly get out dps by combat rifles and rail rifles
Optimal: 60-105
Effective: 110-105
After 110 the damage attenuation is too high; Becomes useless.
I'm sorry but I believe you are incorrect. Check protofits information on the laser rifle please. |

I'm sorry but I believe you are incorrect. Check protofits information on the laser rifle please. just because it looks good on paper doesn't mean that it actually works on the field that way. it could be that i am incorrect but with all of my experience with it , it seems that way. As far as i knew the lazer was supposed to be a long-mid range weapon. there have also been many times at 80m where it just doesn't deal damage ( lag, or latency could be the case) ive also noticed that some times the lazer will skip around when trying to ADS i enjoy the weapon a lot either way
I understand, i apologize for my ignorance. (paper != actual)
From what I've been doing, i never notice a difference between 62 or 104 m.
The ads is super sensitive though lol, i kneel down just cause of it |
