Reciprocity uptime was not good enough for a ranged build, plus it's locked behind Melee Damage Boost, so i opted out of it after extended testing.

Pros of Accatran Mk XIV Recon Lasgun:

• Accurate hipfire
• Target penetration magnified by Withering Fire 
• Decent boss damage

Alternative Weapons: 

1. Kantrael Mk IX Infantry Lasgun (5% crit+Flak) Headhunter + Deadly Accurate.

   More sniper version gameplay. Reliant on headshots. 

   Boss damage on Chaos Spawn (Small bouncy head) Pack Master (Carapace head) is bad.

   Bad hipfire.

   Scab Plasma Gunner Scab Mauler are a problem for this build. Ignore Scab Mauler. Kill Scab Plasma Gunner with body shots.

   Target penetration for more comfy special sniping.

2. Kantrael Mk IIb Infantry Lasgun (5% crit+Flak) Headhunter + Infernus.

   NOTE: Drop Withering Fire on this gun, because it gives nothing. Imo use Krak Grenade with Grenade Tinkerer on this one.

   PewPewPew gameplay.

   Infernus helps with thick targets damage and versus targets with Carapace heads: Scab Plasma Gunner Scab Mauler.

   Great hipfire.

Blitz:

• Our Carapace ranged damage is terrible. Compensate for it with Krak Grenade + Grenade Tinkerer is probably the wisest choice.
• Smoke Grenade works really good w/o any additional point investments. 
• Shredder Frag Grenade is decent CC and mixed horde removal tool.

How to play:

Your job for this build is simple: Cleaning Specials and Gunners for the team, rest comes after that.

Target Priority: Dreg Tox Bomber > Scab Trapper > Scab Plasma Gunner > Scab Sniper > Scab Bomber > Small gunners > Reaper > Flamers > Elite gunners > Distracted Bulwark > Rest

1. Aim at heads! Reload when you drop below 80% of ammo, to trigger Opening Salvo.
2. Quickly reposition on the battlefield with help of the Knife.
3. Listen to sound quotes and watch those waves of incoming specials.
4. Ignore the horde, lead them to your psyker or ogryn and they will kill them for you.
5. At close distance (Less than 15m) hipfire, to recharge stamina back for the Deadshot .
6. Krak Grenade is your answer to armor in this build, use them wisely.

P.S. Don't even think of dropping Stamina Regeneration Boost node, and stamina regen on curios. This build is based around them. 

Stamina=Crits=Ammo
