In the niode laser evolution table it appears the Hack Laser sits between the Duboce, and the Flavian Spear at least in its damage and speed. However the Duboce is only available at level 41, and the Flavian Spear to level 45 and up.
The Hack Laser is ready to go for level 22 and up. For a lower tier pilot this is a taste of some nice straight damage, decent speed, a precision boost, as well as a modifier to their X3 damage potential. Given the damages on most weapons in the 20-30 range have the high 20's for damage and even peaking at 30 for crystal and the 40's for niode, you really can't go wrong.
As always your mecha build stats, skill point allotment, and equipment load out will help significantly with the handling of this weapon.
