Tigris Prime Viral and slash combo + damage explanations

Hello my fellow farmers and bounty hunters!

I'm back again with a build for one of the most used weapons on this game.

Some players were really disappointed with the Damage and Weapons review update (before Scarlet Spear).
I will try to explain the basics of shotguns and status chances. If you just want the build explanation, go to the last part of the text.

OBSERVATION: Every time mentioned status, its not just elemental damage, but physical too (Status: EVERY damage done or EVERY damage chance to an enemy --- So we include here: All elemental damage, Puncture, Slash, Impact and critical multiplier)

HOW PROJECTILES WORK ON SHOTGUNS?

Well, if you are not used to play with shotguns, here's the basics:

  1. Shotguns are weapons with great damage but with low range for shooting

  2. Shotguns bullets spread, which means that:

  • If you are in close range, the spread range will be smaller
  • If you are in some distance, the spread range will be higher.
  • Do not worry about that when building your weapons, because the weapons status will tell you how is the scalling spread per distance (falloff range. In Tigris case: 10 meters to 20 meters)
  • The spread range is the key between a good build and a bad build for shotguns.
    The spread range also means that every particle shooted will have part of the total damage, with different status and critical chances.

STATUS CHANCE AND CRITICAL

For shotguns and spread bullets weapons, status and critical chance are a little different.
As mentioned, every particle shooted will have part of the total damage, so as status and critical chances.

DAMAGE REVIEW AND SOME IMPORTANT NOTES

After the damage review update, many players were upset because some of great damage weapons were modified (as I was)

Hmmm, but no. They just review the damage and changed the status effects, and put some informations that were missed or noted just by a small portion of the players.
The spread and status chance effect mentioned above were always there, but not showed in weapon status bar.

What changed: Status effect on enemies and players, damage done to enemies or players, and MAINLY, status chance now pass 100% (so thats the reason you cannot see more [Tigris] doing 100% status chance)

What was added but already was on warframe: after the update, they added a division on spread-bullet weapons ("STATUS/PROJECTILE"), Multishot (still brings more damage to the weapon, but also contributes to spread effect)

GRAN FINALE: Build guide

After all this read, which I maybe confused you all (hope not, but I'm glad to answer your questions), let's go to the build guide.

The basics: I put some mods to contribute do damage, the essentials.

I made all this explanation above just to respond simply to answer the question: why I put [Hunter Munitions] in a weapon with 10% critical chance?

Well, remember when I said that the spread effect has different status chance and critical chance between particles? Not all particles will proc critical, but the ones that proc will give the hunter munition bonus.
With the Bonus and [Sweeping Serration], expect great slash damage.

The combo: viral is a little more stronger now, doing damage directly to health (viral damage now scale up to 4.5x damage) + the higher slash damage (ok, now you got me, because the slash damage now does not go directly to health, but LUCKLY we have a great slash damage here, which works).

That's all for now guys, I will let my references videos here:
