Heat/Viral M16 (Steel Path Tested)

shoot head, don't be dead, enjoy reading this because you aren't using a [Phenmor] and just wanted a space m16

Tested it on steel path, obviously has some windup because of how galvanized mods work, but after 3 headshot kills it starts melting things in like 1-3 shots, tried on heavy gunner with full buffs and need about 20-40ish shots, same with eximus. Again, if you're looking for something to actually melt things in one shot try a [Phenmor]

heat so that when I get the status proc I can actually kill things in higher content

switch viral to corrosive when fighting deimos infested/demolishers cause they're immune to viral and make me cry

SWITCH OUT YOUR FACTION MOD WHEN YOU FIGHT OTHER FACTIONS YOU DOOFUS

(Why faction mods? Warframe's damage calculation is incredibly silly, so that means just stacking serration/[Heavy Caliber] is only additive damage, alongside arcanes also being additive damage. Considering this, we use our arcane for this guns additive damage, and instead of serration/[Heavy Caliber], use a faction mod as this multiplies the damage instead, and also aids your fire stacks on hitting big juicy DoT ticks) https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Calculating_Bonuses#Multiplicative_Stacking_2

I guess hellfire/[Vital Sense] is flex slot? I dunno, get a riven with crit damage or heat or something

Tried replacing [Hellfire] with [Hunter Munitions] on Steel Path Level 150 Halako Exterminate, lost too much damage in comparison to just focusing on heat damage vs corpus, but performed adequately well against grineer, so switch them out as you wish.
