What's the deal with this build? The overframe dmg numbers are way lower compared to some of the other builds on here... right? well. yes, but also no.

The thing is, this thing will still absolutely [Shred] anything you point it at.
Not only does it shred all on it's own, without anything else giving it a boost; it also works as a status-primer.
The best part is. There's no setup, no prep. you don't have to prime other than using alt fire. And you don't have to kill any trashmobs to proc your arcane or mods.

All you have to do with this build is:

• alt fire
• primary fire
• repeat

But how? I'll explain.

• Cedos Alternate fire procs a random extra status effect (toxin, heat, cold or electric) in addition to the elements you mod for.
• Cedo also has innate ability. It deals 60% bonus damage per unique status effect on target.
• To build on this we want more random and unique procs without having to mod for all the elements.
  • Easiest way to do that is to add a bunch of multishot. So we run Galvanized Hell and Primary Frostbite.
    • To trigger primary [Frostbite] we need to get cold procs, but the alt fire does that for us so we do not need to mod specifically for cold. Leaving us free to do whatever we want.
• Problem: Alt fire doesn't proc viral, just the base elements (toxin, heat, cold and electric). So we mod for viral if we want that +375%dmg.
• Status Chance doesn't really matter much anymore since we have an insane amount of multishot.
  • This enables us to mod for more elemental damage. Contagious Spread + primed chilling grasp gives us the highest amount of viral damage.
• We need some way to deal with armor. Sure, alt fire does proc slash, but not enough and primary fire does not proc slash at all.
  • The only way to get slash procs on our primary fire on a gun without any base slash damage is to use Hunter Munitions.
• Problem: hunter munitions only procs on crit, and even then it's only 30% chance on crit. So we need a lot of crit.
  • The single mod that gives the most amount of crit is Critical Deceleration, but it also reduces our +dmg% by 15. However this only gives us 60% crit chance on primary fire.
  • To get even more we add Laser Sight as well. Now we have to aim for headshots. This pushes our actual critical chance to 84%.
• Cedos Alternate fire takes a while to reload. The reason is that the glaives have to return before you can fire again.
  • Faster glaives, faster hits, faster return. right? YES! So we add Galvanized Acceleration (or Fatal Acceleration).
• Primary Frostbite isn't like the other arcanes. It procs directly on status effect. On weapons/builds that crits and makes use of multishot, IMO it's better than the others since it's easy to max proc against single target high level bullet sponges.
• To make the thing hit harder we need to increase our base damage, so we add Primed Point Blank to give us a stable base damage boost, especially with the slash procs in mind.
• We then add Accelerated Blast, mostly for the fire-rate increase, but also because it increases our primary fire damage. Unfortunately punctureDmg% does not increase our base damage for slash procs or elemental damage.

The result of all this is a beastly gun that easily yields a bunch of heavy hitting slash procs, a whole bunch of crits. And a hell of a lot of different status effects.
viral + [Primed Point Blank] = 375%+165% dmg and pushes our baseline slashproc ceiling way up.
Cold procs from alt fire triggers Arcane [Frostbite] resulting in a whole bunch of multishot AND critical damage.
Hitting a few headshots triggers Laser Sight, making hunter munitions trigger on more or less every shot.

Variations and improvements, and gotchas:

• Replace [Primed Point Blank] with [Galvanized Savvy], if you're ok with a lower upfront damage less stable damage output. The numbers do look better, but in practice... just try it yourself and see if you like it.
• Replace Laser Sight with Motus Setup for slightly lower crit chance but +100% status chance. You'll have to have to doublejump/bullet jump every 4 seconds, but it's decent.
• Replace [Laser Sight] with [Ravage], [Shrapnel Shot] or [Primed Ravage] if you have it, this will push up your proc damage ceiling.

Plenty of room for improvement still. But I need to do more testing.

Cedo 3 build. (Work in progress)
