General Info

Note: Toxin Progenitor: makes Viral.

This build makes use of Bleed, supported by Viral raw damage and Virus status effect.

• Acid Shells: turns this weapon into an AoE shotgun.
• Punch Through: to kill multiple enemies in 1 shot, to proc multiple Acid Shells explosions to guarantee a group-kill.
• Primary Merciless: makes up for enough Base Damage, so no Primed Point Blank required. Improves reload slightly.
• Bane: scales DoT's and Acid Shells explosion damage.

Alternatives

• Seeking Force -> Primed Point Blank or Galvanized Savvy: more single target burst damage (and more Status Chance.)
• Seeking Force -> Seeking Fury: slight Punch Through decrease, slight Reload Speed increase.
• Clip Delegation -> Primed Ravage: no-augment alternative. Supports crit damage.
• Primed Bane -> Primed Point Blank or Galvanized Savvy: slight DPS decrease in late-game. Makes good for generalizing against all enemy types.

• Primed Chilling Grasp -> Primed Charged Shell: raw damage variant.

• Vigilante Supplies -> Galvanized Acceleration: increased Falloff distance.

• Primary Merciless -> Shotgun Vendetta: bonus Multishot and Reload Speed. Add Primed Point Blank or Galvanized Savvy for Base Damage.
