Infect your foes with this spore-scattering pistol. Headshots burrow in and explode, releasing spore clouds that seek out nearby enemies.

Work in Progress
This infested pistol might not appear to be very strong at first sight, but it's special mechanic (similar to Pax [Seeker]) can turn this pistol into a killing machine.
Special Mechanic: On headshots, the spores burrow into the target, stunning and dealing continuous damage before exploding to release 6 additional spores that seek nearby enemies.
How to get it: The main & component blueprints can be purchased from Father at entrati rank 1 for 4000 standing in total.
While the base crit chance is relatively low, the projectiles released from headshots double dip in crits so going for a crit build will result in absolute destruction.
Should be Steel Path ready
Mods
You can use this weapons with most frames but it synergizes well with crowd control abilities as it makes headshots easier and keeps enemies clumped together for maximum damage output. Magus Lockdown does the job too, especially paired with frames that lack some form of CC as it immobilizes enemies for a short while.
I use it primarily on [Wisp] where it is part of this Loadout: https://overframe.gg/build/272081/
