This is fun as all get-out!

Are you running Redox or RPR_ The RPR makes things quite interesting.

It depends. In CQC teammate assist and Vampiring, RPR is almost essential. In open maps, Redox seems to get more assists, throwing quick shots downrange into hitboxes and letting heavier armor worry about killing it.
I can't find any data on this, but when I'm on Bunker with wide-open firing lines it's as if the Redox buff actually affects the Deconstruct pace. If I 1-2-3 pulse fire the Redox (heat!) while in Vampire mode, it's creepy: it seems as if the HP fall on the enemy accelerates.

Last I checked, it increases ALL incoming damage, including the red-beam. Since the de-buff stacks (up to 3x), each hit from it increases the damage you do while vampiring.

Believe it or not, if you're accurate enough for DPS to really matter on either weapon, the redox has more. With the exception of it being non-hitscan and arcing, it is objectively the best primary for the tech. (Splash, higher dps, and armor effect.)
