This weapon is built for utility while trying to preserve some degree of damage. It is not a DPS machine, but it's not a nerf dart either. It is part of my [Ash] "Oni" set and designed to complement that playstyle.

The primary purpose of this weapon is to silently disarm traps and disrupt the ability of enemies to target me from range. It does the former by using [Concealed Explosives] to carpet bomb the area and destroys all traps within 10 meters thus clearing the path ahead. The latter comes from using Blast damage where the status effect reduces the Accuracy of enemies hit by it limiting their ability to hit you. The mediocre status chance is made up for by the multishot and rate of fire, ensuring procs on every volley while maintaining the best possible damage output shy of sacrificing [Concealed Explosives].

The extra Toxin from [Infected Clip] is to enhance direct damage and synergize with both [Galvanized Shot] and Condition Overload when you close in. It can be replaced with [Convulsion] if you would like an additional crowd control status instead.

Alternately, you could replace Infected Clip with Convulsion and swap places with Deep Freeze to create a Radiation/Cold build that leaves affected enemies lethargically attacking each other instead of you. However, this also creates a crossfire that will need to be avoided.

Swapping places of the Infected Clip and Deep Freeze mods to achieve Gas/Cold is fun, but Gas suffers greatly against Grineer. Asking the Grineer out then pulling a no-show would do more direct damage to them.

The projectiles need to fly faster than my run/parkour speed (enhanced by Amaglam Serration on my "Onikaze" [Daikyu]), both my Riven and [Lethal Momentum] contribute to projectile velocity.

Replace the Riven with [Hornet Strike] for general use or Primed Expel X. Avoid [Anemic Agility] as the ammo efficiency and reserves of this weapon are highly limited. The Accuracy penalty of [Magnum Force] will also improve the area of effect from [Concealed Explosives] marginally, but won't prove very useful in practicality.
