The custom weapon of a fearsome Kuva Lich. It has greater reload speed, lower recoil and greater accuracy than the standard-issue Karak rifle.

Note: This is my first try at this weapon. I'm sure once I decide its not enough as I get farther along in Steel Path I will change it to make it able to take on stronger stuff. This build guide may also change in the future with more testing.
Once you get procs from the galvanized mods going this setup rips through the lower level steel path enemies reasonably quickly. Be warned though it runs out of ammo QUICK. Either use the ammo mutation shown, the primed version, or bring along ammo refills, or both,... Probably both, because you will need it. Or just mod it to hold more ammo, anything works.
This is an expensive setup and there are for sure better setups, and a different riven, you could use but I chose to try to make the gun as close to 100%+ critical chance and 100%+ status as I could. I did not reference anyone's build when making this but, If there is a similar build to mine I apologize, my goal was not to pass off someone else's work as my own, but try my hand at making a build that works decently well.
For the Riven: You can search and buy a good riven off someone if you don't care how much plat you spend, or you can do what I did. I bought a Riven for 15 plat that was horrible and rerolled it till I got something usable. I believe you should be mainly looking for something with Critical Chance and multi-shot,. If you can get that and fire rate you're golden. Fire rate was hard to get where I was happy with. You take Vile off and the damage drops a decent amount, even with the negative damage vile has on it. Getting a riven with all three on it would be best case in my opinion. If you get that take vile off and put in something else that will bump up damage. Could be a bane mod could be something else. There should be enough mod space to mess around and add what ever you need, but then again I didn't test that so don't hold me to it
The critical chance and multiplier could for sure be higher if you wanted to add a forma to this. If you wanted to add [Galvanized Scope] to get more critical you could take off [Malignant Force] so you keep corrosive (This gun has toxin natively), it would drop status chance down to the 80's but raise critical chance up to 180%. Same with Critical multiplier. You could take off the other 60/60 mod and add [Vital Sense] to increase the multiplier, but it would drop status down to 68% and only leave you with toxin. Doing both would give you about 50k more burst damage but for me being horrible at aiming at the head the build pictured works well enough for me to hopefully, eventually, not be so bad at hitting the head in the future. Then I might switch it to run heavy critical. Also might need to change some settings to hide all the stats and crits on screen if that's a thing, BUT I GOTTA DO SOMETHING XD.
Again this is my first build I'm actually gonna put out there so by all means critique it as I'm sure you all will but let it be known I honestly don't care about the dumb comments about how bad this is, or judging me for not doing something else. Doesn't matter to me. I'm only putting it out there in case someone else wants to try the same thing.
