*Disclaimer: mod damage can build up, so you may not [Reach] as high damage numbers if you don’t follow the recommended setup. You can still easily clear steel path with less optimal mods though.
Intro:
Hi! This is an easy, low investment, beginner friendly build for the Mk1-Braton to be used in the Steel Path, simple viral+slash build can kill enemies in netracell missions with 1-2 bullets (lv250+ SP). Can easily red crit with no extra buffs and hits up to 300k per shot, use for ultimate bragging rights against the broing meta followers.

Build recommendations:
The [Mk1-Braton] can be bought from the market for 20,000 credits, no build time or materials required at all. Incarnon Genesis Adapter (Munitions Grit, Void’s Guidance, Critical Parallel) is highly recommended to increase multishot , base crit chance and damage (Incarnon mode reaches 20% base crit chance from critical parallel but isn’t displayed here correctly).

[Galvanized Chamber] and Aptitude are extremely important for damage, especially Aptitude, because it can increase damage and status chance for more viral procs. [Vile Acceleration] is used to compensate for low fire rate in the Incarnon mode and also the negative from my riven, you can try it out and see if it works for you.

A [Braton] riven is highly recommended for this build because you can take advantage of its high riven disposition, and can be bought for a relatively low plat price. If no riven, the riven mod slot + [Vile Acceleration] should be changed depending on what you need.

The exilus slot is not necessary for the build, but ammo mods can be added if you want.

Arcane merciless and deadhead are good for all primaries and increase damage by a good amount, but are not necessary for the build.

And primed mods can naturally be replaced by non-prime versions if you don’t have the budget.

Arcane deadhead and galvanised scope can be considered to increase damage further, or faction damage mods if you want.

Usage:
Headshots build incarnon ammo. You will need a lot if you use the Munitions Grit incarnon upgrade, and can be gained easily from headshots on bosses or tanky enemies. Since Munitions Grit also applies to the non-incarnon mode, manage ammo to avoid running out especially in longer missions.

Armor strip and more status effects help increase damage, especially when against SP multipliers.

Feel free to leave a like on the build if you think it’s good, so more people can see it!
