Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• Extremely high full charge damage (300), scales well with elemental mods.
• Specializes in damage, making it effective against Robotic and Machinery-enemies. Electricity is a versatile damage type, combining for , and .
• Innate 5m Punch Through distance. 
• Pinpoint accuracy.
• Good critical chance.
• Can be fired prematurely, which allows more flexibility in combat; albeit with less damage. 
• Good status chance.
• Quick reload.
• Decent magazine size.
• Silent weapon.

Disadvantages:

• Damage cannot be increased with , or mods.
• Difficult to hit erratically moving targets at long or even medium range due to projectile travel time. This doesn't apply to targets which move in line, which are easy to hit with some practice.
• Draws from the sniper ammo pool, which is among the rarest of all ammo drops.
• Low damage when fired prematurely.

Weapon Loadouts

Main article: Category:Lanka Build

See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

Notes

• To have a "pure" element different from , you will have to add Stormbringer as a placeholder.
• Projectile shoots off in a random direction when the barrel is "in" a nearby enemy due to the length of the weapon's barrel.
• Uses the same model as the Snipetron.
• The charge can be released when charged 33% to release a lower damage, but quicker shot, sacrificing damage for speed.
• As of Update 11.7, the Lanka charge color is using energy color, before the update it was default blue.

Tips

• Speed Trigger reduces charge time.
  • Pairing it with Shred can reduce the charge time up to ~0.8s.
• Shooting through Volt's Electric Shield will turn bullets into hitscan.
• Adding a rank 2 Wildfire will give you two extra bullets, a rank 4 Magazine Warp will give you three. Combine both for a total of 15 bullets in the magazine.
• It works well with a Loki or Nova on the edge of an open air map.
• All 'charge weapons' (guns) are now capable of holding their charge during a sprint, and as long as the user starts the charge, they are able to finish charging while they are still sprinting. This is a useful trait for the mobility of the user.
  • Using elevators and opening coop doors also does not cancel the charge, however hacking consoles and opening lockers will. 
  • Sliding when you are about to hit the ground (from any height) is very useful for keeping your charge instead of losing it by rolling. 
  • Wall running will not cancel the charge, edge grabbing will. 
  • Using a skill will cancel the charge.
• The low total ammo and ammo drop chance for sniper rifles can be alleviated in a few ways:
  • Using the Sniper Ammo Mutation mod will make all ammo pickups give between 5 and 10 sniper rounds at max rank, depending on pickup type.
  • Using the Sniper Scavenger aura will make sniper ammo pickups give 25 rounds at max rank, instead of the usual 10 rounds.
  • Alternatively, Team Ammo Restores can be used as needed.
• Heavy Caliber can be used on the Lanka with little noticeable effect on its long-range accuracy, as its slow rate of fire ensures that its shots will always land on its crosshair. Heavy Caliber will affect the spread of additional bullets created by Split Chamber however.
• As of Update 11.3.0, Lanka possess a very high innate punch-through, making Metal Auger unnecessary while Shred becomes less effective.
