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.
You have been warned!
Hmm this is how I’ve been feeling about the Torid Incarnon. I got a killer riven and it instantly zaps large groups of steel path enemies.
Funny how they nerfed AOE and buffed chain weapons.
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.
Also…
Do not, EVER, use Target Fixation on Zephyr, it’s so good it’ll ruin the game lol
Will note here, without a killer riven, it does fall off in steel path as you run out of ammo unless you do the whole weapon swap mag reload thing.
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.
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.
Can confirm, feels honestly awful trying to get it going even in basic SP Pavlov (125~, was trying out a Master Summons moa build and decided to do a quick test of the Ocucor for fun), the low base stats really hinder it. Maybe it’ll get a Tauforged variant with Sentient liches in 2027.
