Greetings!

### UPDATE - MAY 2023

I know, I know. This is a LONG time coming for a weapon that is hardly used in the game. Well, having spent a lot of time messing with a lot of different primaries, mostly relying on [Phenmor], [Quartakk] (with an insane riven!) and, more recently, [Latron Prime] Incarnon, I wanted to go back to this and see how it does these days...

...and with a little tweaking, it does INSANELY WELL!!!

The key is that the forced mpact procs coupled with the pairing of [Galvanized Chamber] and [Galvanized Scope] make this an extremely reliable [Internal Bleeding] weapon. First couple of kills on level 180 Corrupted Heavy Gunners get everything moving and is enough to build the stacks needed to start seeing nasty red crits that one shot them! The initial shot doesn't get it done? Don't worry, the first slash tick will!

Just make sure that the first shot is a headshot and the rest is easy. Once you have stacks up, you can shoot into the body and still one shot those naughty Grineer Skoom!

Don't forget to ZOOM IN at all times to really unleash the power!

Finally, believe it or not, throwing a grouping ability at a large group of enemies and firing into the middle of them produces a wide damage spread capable of taking down multiple enemies with one shot which dramatically improves your time to kill stats.

Seriously, give this another run out and you will be stunned at how well it performs!

PS - [Panzer Vulpaphyla] works great with this now too. Who doesn't need easy Viral procs while committing [War] crimes, huh?!

OLD DESCRIPTION...

So, what are we trying to achieve here?

Well, looking around, I see a lot of builds that appear to miss the point completely. The point being...

[Hunter Munitions]!

Seriously, this gun, with a maxed [Point Strike], is clocking up 125% Critical Chance. This means that it is going to proc a Critical Hit every time you fire it. [Hunter Munitions] gives you a 30% chance to proc Slash damage every time you proc a Critical Hit. Whilst that suggests that you are likely to proc Slash one in every three shots, adding in the multishot from [Vigilante Armaments] and [Split Chamber] seems to pretty much guarantee a Slash proc. Now throw in the outrageously high Status Chance and those Slash procs are doing some SERIOUS damage too!

Now, the fun really starts when you are firing at closely grouped enemies as those procs carry over to them too. Suddenly, one shot at your direct target causes lots of juicy, high damage Critical Hit procs AND Slash procs.

I tested lots of different builds in the Simulacrumbs and, without ANY exceptions, this build did by far the best job. 8 x Level 155 Heavy Gunners were sent to Space Ninja Valhalla in ONE CLIP OR LESS!

The Headshot bonus is INSANE, hence why I have opted for [Eagle Eye] over [Vigilante Supplies], but this is entirely your choice.
Please don't take my word for it...TEST IT YOURSELF.

Oh, and then go and enjoy it!

Any questions or suggestions, please drop them below on the comments and I will do my best to help/discuss!

Love and light,

PS - Swapping out Malignant Force for Thermite Rounds turns this bad boy into an Eidolon fun stick too! :D
PPS - Using a Vigilante-heavy companion rifle can REALLY turn up the volume on those Orange and Red crits. My suggested build for this can be found HERE!
