Bappin [Braton Prime]

Why [Braton Prime]?

[Braton Prime] is my absolute favorite primary weapon in this game by a mile. The weapon is super flexible with being able to make any element but for this build we're going to go with the most meta of the bunch viral, with [Braton]'s main physical damage being slash already its a perfect weapon for viral. If you're going to index make sure to make it radiation or magnetic for the 75% weakness on all the index enemies.

Mods

This mod loadout is a bit pricey let alone with 8 forma you'll be investing into the weapon but if you're willing to do that you'll be shredding steel path with little to no resistance just make sure to have a corrosive secondary or melee or any other method of sundering armor to get the maximum damage output of your weapons (My way is using [Sharpened Claws] on my Kavat to fully red bar anything that comes in his way :) ).

If you're a little short on plat to make everything or don't have [Primed Shred] like me then just replace it with normal [Shred]. [Galvanized Chamber] can of course be replaced with [Split Chamber] with it being the same polarity and the same amount of drain. Make sure to run vigilante mods on one of your other weapons to get the empowered crits just to make the occasional crits you'll be getting on this build a little more tasty. To get a different element with this current forma setup you're going to have to go for 2 of the 60, 60 elemental mods with the Vazarin polarity making it impossible to mod in one of the Naramon versions, or if you're like me just have another [Braton Prime] on hand for the other elements lol.

The Riven I have on this build is my own [Braton] riven but if you're trying to get one for yourself if you can't get these specific stats go for toxic or electricity or slash, heat and cold are alright elements but for the two bis elements in the current meta toxic and electric rein king with slash being the absolute best physical status.

Conclusion

After playing with a lot of the more gimmicky weapons in this game, having a solid basic weapon that's able to do all types of content is a nice backbone for your arsenal if you enjoy playing with a primary that's a bit more on the basic side and a bit of a project to make a build for (with having to go to Hydron every 2 seconds just to get the formas onto the build) it's a really solid pick but anything is a solid pick with 8 forma lmfao. TL:DR bap bap steel path star map go bye bye x_d.
