This is just some goofy fun I was messing around with and turned out to be kinda cool. Not nearly as effective as a lot of other stuff like a [Tenet Arca Plasmor], or Explody Bow, due to the lack of AOE damage, but if you get a direct headshot with this thing is brutal.

I know this is normally used for its secondary fire to pile on status very fast, but if you go balls deep on raw damage it's retarded strong thanks to its lack of popularity and its unusually high crit-damage multiplier. Could slap [Hunter Munitions] over [Vital Sense] or just use an armor stripping frame. Could also probably make an awesome Eidolon hunter if you swapped the status type.

Can confirm it can (but won't always) 1-shot a level 185 Nox even before you get any stacks of Galvanized or DeadHead. Must be a head shot of course, but no frame abilities or even pre-applied stats are needed. I was using purely the weapon for damage.

I have randomly gotten as high as a 13mill crits with this weapon but wasn't paying attention to how many and what status effects were on the enemy at the time. It was against a normal Corpus enemy while hunting Parvos Sister murmurs If you're curious. However, the damage seems to be all over the place. At times it's pretty average, but then suddenly I'll some stupid high crit pop up. I do love it when I can make a weapon have enough raw damage I don't need to switch to relying on Hunter Munition slash Procs, or armor stripping, though eventually, it is inevitable. Every weapon being Viral Slash makes for boring builds so I try to make alternatives to the meta.

Final Thoughts: This is not something I would encourage people to build because there are far more effective weapons out there that require far less investment. I just thought this was a cool weapon and just happen to have had the extra resources to play around with it for fun. Slash weapons are still going to work better. Consider this a meme if you will. =)

-UPDATE-
Swapped [Infected Clip] out for [Bladed Rounds] and [Critical Delay] for Galvanized Scope to get us up to 3.35mill Burst DPS for even further, plus Cold is just going to work better than Viral as a stand-alone element.

Notice: Idk why this is getting updooted like it is. it was just a silly idea I wanted to try. If you actually want a Ferrox build that works well in SP then this would be ideal. https://overframe.gg/build/357899/ferrox/massive-bleed-damage-ferrox/
