Description
Galvanic Rifle deals high enough dmg to EASILY one-shots Scab/Dreg Gunners Ragers w/o needing crit and a lot of dmg buff nodes.
You don't need to build up Surgical or rely on DoT to get those elite one-shots, amazing reactability + preventing from draining too much Capacitance drain from ACD, and with Ghost, it can save your ass a lot of the times especially vs Gunner/Reaper spam, more so with ACD.
It's probably the best gun FOR ACD from my testings, taking into account capacitance-efficiency and immediate-dmg. low enough ammo so that you can reload relatively often, keeping ACD going w/o draining capacitance + regening your toughness. You can reach equilibrium on the ACD capacitance drain with this, given hit reg works.
If used correctly, you can delete EVERY SINGLE Ranged elites + Ragers for your team, no competition. This will be greatly improved upon once ACD is properly fixed too.
Also, Galvanic having PINPOINT ACCURACY on hipfire is also amazing for certain oh-shit moments too.
Compared to Phosphor Blaster (with Surgical + OpenSalv, also Flak+Maniac), which I've also tested A LOT, it requires a bigger checklist to reach those one-shots, need extra DAMAGE NODES + Surgical stacks, if you shoot headshots as quick as you can, you'll always need 2-3 non-crit headshots, unlike with Galvanic Rifle.
ALSO, you can spam Voltaic Restoration with ACD, it only requires 25% capacitance to activate, so you can get 3-4 activations with 1 charge, healing you and your team super fast.
