[Scourge] isn't one of those meta primaries you see everyone toting about after copying their favorite online build. It's not a bad weapon... but it's just not in that sweet crit meta we see.

However, it's got phenomenal status chance, innate corrosive, and can be modded for viral and radiation. Also, it's alt-fire creates bullet attractors on enemies' heads within about 15 meters, regardless of line of sight or number of enemies.

So this weapon is going to act as our utility weapon to enhance the damage output of our secondary and melee weapons.

Secondary weapon will be your choice of kitgun using the Pax Seeker arcane. My preference is a Rattleguts, Lovetap, Killstream

Melee weapon will be your choice of crit/status Condition Overload/[Blood Rush] melee weapon geared towards Slash with Viral (and possibly Heat if you're willing to drop Weeping Wounds from the current meta build). My current fascination is with one-handed swords - specifically [Pangolin Prime] or [Dakra Prime].

Use [Scourge] to blast into enemies, when magazine is low, toss to create bullet attractors and finish off with r5 Arcane Precision enhance Pax Seekers, and/or melee bum [Rush] them.

[Scourge] also has a passive where it reloads it's magazine while holstered or deployed, so it's almost always ready to go.

RIVEN: The riven in the build is as close to perfect as you can get. It's got [Primed Fast Hands] reload speed, fire rate somewhere between [Primed Shred] and [Vile Acceleration], electricity for the radiation combo, and a negative that doesn't effect [Scourge] due to its abysmal crit chance.

Edit: Reduced forma count by one and swapped [Primed Cryo Rounds] for [Rime Rounds]. Reasoning is to balance out the elemental spread a bit so they're all within a couple hundred of each other for potentially better distribution.
