Weapons That Are Great w/ Vintage Heat Sink

Revenant and X5 Ghost.

Since both have a great thermal clip size they can be useful even with the 30% loss from the Vintage Heat Sink.

I tried it on the ghost and it was god awful.

Valkyrie.

I would love to, but i only have 2 of them.

I haven't built a Ghost yet because I don't want to waste the mods since you can't deconstruct them, only destroy. I find the Vintage Heat Sink will work best on a weapon with a large clip since the size is reduced by 50% by the module.

Could you use it on a high damage low clip size weapon in conjunction with a shield oscillator? Turn a high damage weapon into a shield boosting killing machine. Perhaps a Dhan with a mod that further cuts the clip size. Maybe to two shots. Destroy shit, shield boost. Possibly use it with a bio converter as well if you can use 3 augments then you cut down time even further during the overheat. The shield boost would give you cover for the health it takes. With a strong power based build - tech or biotics you could have a great time with this. Use fusion mod of adrenaline with cloak, add in a dhan with heat sink and shield oscillator and it would party time. I already do that build minus the oscillator and heat sink but it might be a blast.

The bioconverter is objectively better in just about every way. That said, I still had fun putting the VHS on the Revenant.

I tried to put one both on the Valkyrie but it wouldn't let me. I think they (like the bio converter) are both classed as 'special augmentations' and you can only have one of those on a weapon. Same with projectile augmentations.

I went with the Revenant and the Cyclone. Not the most efficient guns but substantial clip sizes.

tried it on a Talon , yes,silly idea, and ditched that Talon. Two shots and you have to wait for reload.

Isharay. It's my favorite sniper rifle in the game and the vintage heat sink complimented it well for me. No having to manually reload and go through the animation after each shot.

I tried it with the Piranha once since I ran out of ammo all the time, but the clip size (5) and overheat time wasn't that great on it.

Basically weapons with extremely low capacity or extremely high capacity work well. Soned, Dhan, Naladen, Black widow, Isharay are some examples.
