🥇 S-Tier Perks – Must-Haves
🔥 Damage to Maniacs
Why it slaps: Some of the most hateful foes, such as Ragers and Mutants, are found among Maniacs. When combined with charged shots, this perk allows you to eliminate them before they get to you.
Ideal for: Zealots who wish to maintain their toughness with critical hits or veterans in need of a trustworthy anti-elite tool.
🎯 Ranged Weak Spot Damage
Why it slaps: The Volkite’s beam has surgical precision. You’ll quickly melt Scab Shooters and Dreg Gunners when you combine that with this perk.
Pro tip: For laser-accurate head popping, stack this with blessings like Focused Channel or Sustained Fire.
🥈 A-Tier Perks – Great Value
💪 Damage to Flak Armor
Flak is everywhere, which is why it’s good. In any case, this perk gives you an advantage over traitor guardsmen and regular gunners, which is where the Neo-Volkite excels.
Outstanding in situations involving “High Flak Presence” missions.
🧠 Warp Resistance / Toughness Regeneration Speed
Why it’s good: Although these aren’t direct damage perks, they can help you stay in the fight longer if you’re using a Zealot or Psyker.
Particularly helpful when running at higher levels of difficulty.
🥉 B-Tier – Niche But Viable
🧱 Damage to Carapace Armor
Why it’s specialized: It sort of protects against Bulwarks and Crushers. The Volkite isn’t your anti-armor weapon though let’s face it. Unless you’re in dire need save this time for something more significant.
🎯 Final Thoughts
It is specialized because it provides some protection from crushers and bulwarks. But let’s be honest, the Volkite isn’t your anti-armor weapon. Save this time for something more important unless you’re in immediate need.
