Gotcha. Is Vicious Spread worthwhile for this or should I just worry about reload/firerate/punchthrough?
I think Zoom makes sentinels acquire targets from farther away, too?

And I wonder if this means my Sweeper riven I got from before the energy generator mod was available is gonna be worth Money

It was worth way more before Simaris offered sentinel rivens. I know projectile speed decreases damage drop off but I think that's of limited use if the max range they can target is 30m.

Atlas neuroptics dropped 8 times in a row. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there another mission that drops the other parts or is RNG loving me raw?

I mean all got all 3 Nyx parts in a single Phorid manifestation and I spent half an hour spamming 3 minute Hyena runs to get my Loki, it’s just luck.

I really don’t want to do this with Vor/Lech and Frost though ugh.

In this case it is! Just tell me where the Myconians are being held and let me shoot things! Or at least let me keep my money if I score eleven points instead of ten!

Wiki is indeed right about this, going for +spread, multishot, fire rate, punchthrough and reload lets it wreck hard. I wish rivens could roll +spread too.

Personally I'd rank em like this:
Punchthrough(Easy enough to get on shotgun)
Multishot
Spread
Reload
Firerate

Remember that you don't have to bother with damage at all.

I just hope they'll let other sentinels use the decon though, being able to get both a statstick and energy would be heaven.

Unless I misunderstood the wiki, it is saying that +reload speed is useless on Sweeper Prime and simply doesn't do anything. Yet I could swear they actually do reload. I am very confused on this point.

I actually ran this quest three times (once for myself, once for each of my friends (because I am apparently a masocist)), but every single time, on that specific mission, we ended up a few points behind due to having to sandbag, and I managed to come in with just enough points to win at the last 1-2 seconds.

The trick to glast gambit solo is that apparently the AI is coded to protect you if you're carrying points instead of running around wherever, so you score 9 points or so, then pick up a few more and just spend the rest of the round hanging out by your goal playing keeper with the boys.

It's still absolutely the worst quest in the game and desperately in need of a rework.

Energy Generator, available from Simaris. It's just that mod + a sweeper modded to tag as many enemies as possible (+firerate, +spread etc).

punchthrough

Also I think reload speed also increases rater of fire? And Zoom slightly increases the range Energycube acquires targets at so you might as well put it on since you don't care about actual damage

On the map that has the goals in little chambers at opposite ends of an indoor arena, supposedly you can use Atlas's augment to block off both doorways with rock walls so the opposition physically can't score.

That's basically how i did it on my first solo attempt. Most of my gambit problems (i thankfully dodged to softlock where the doors in the invasion mission fail to open) actually were with the match where you're scripted to lose, somehow broke and i was forced to lose without advancing the quest state.

But yeah, they should rework them if only to drop the awful timed format and get the modern point-limit version, and drop the "under 10" headache in favor of some other gimmick.

Just tested in simulacrum, reload speed does work on sweeper prime. But sweeper prime carries 20 rounds, so it doesn't reload super often. I think Ammo Stock would serve better if pressed for space.

If you really want to optimize for that fight it's better to find stuff that has an innate element, so that you can squeeze more damage types into your loadout without sacrificing more mod slots.
