The Buckshot Wonder | Kuva Brakk

Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going to talk about the [Kuva Brakk], the Buckshot Wonder.

Weapon Information

  • The Kuva Brakk is obtained from either vanquishing a Kuva Lich or trading from another player, a Kuva Lich that they conquered.

  • The Kuva Brakk has a mastery rank requirement of 13.

  • The weapon has a max rank of 40. In order to obtain this level the player must forma the weapon at least 5 times, due to this feature the player gains a total of 4,000 mastery points. BUT the builds in this guide only require 3 forma, unless a Riven mod is introduced.

  • This weapon excels against single target enemies and can handle small crowds of enemies. Large crowds of enemies aren't recommended, but with a tanky frame large crowds can be handled.

Recommended Kuva Element

With this weapon you get the option of having a bonus Kuva Element which caps at 60%.

My recommended Kuva Element would be:

  • Toxin - Toxin is incorporated in my Corpus build for the weapon. Toxin Deals 50% of the base damage as toxin damage per second for 6 seconds and bypasses shields.

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages

Advantages

  • Very High Critical Chance

  • Very Fast Reload Speed

  • Innate 0.5 meter Punch Through

Disadvantages

  • Low Puncture and Slash damage

  • Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 4% from 10 meters to 20 meters

  • Wide pellet spread, making the weapon inefficient beyond medium range.

Builds

Corpus: Tested up to Level 150

Due to having a Kuva Element of Toxin the build against Corpus is weakened with damage, but is still powerful. Magnetic amplifies damage dealt to shields, while Toxin deals 50% damage to flesh per second for 6 seconds. Magnetic mixed with Toxin helps mainly against the human enemies, while taking a mild hit at killing efficiency of robotic enemies.

Corruption: Tested up to Level 150

Due to having a Kuva Element of Toxin the build against Corruption will be Viral/Heat. Viral amplifies damage dealt to health while Heat causes the target to panic and strips up to 50% armor. Viral mixed with Heat helps against mainly Corrupted Grineer and Infested, while taking a hit at killing efficiency of Corrupted Shielded and Robotic enemies.

Infested: Tested up to Level 150

Due to having a Kuva Element of Toxin the build against Infested will be Corrosive/Heat. Corrosive reduces armor of fossilized infested, while heat just annihilates flesh infested. The infested on Deimos are neutral however.

Grineer: Tested up to Level 150

Due to having a Kuva Element of Toxin the build against Grineer will be Viral/Heat. Viral amplifies damage against health, while heat strips up to 50% armor. Against the heavily armored enemies we are using the guns innate Puncture damage to help along side the heat.

Recommended Alternative Mods

Convulsion - In place of Jolt

Deep Freeze - In place of Frostbite

Scorch - in place of either status increase mod with a Riven such as mine.

Pathogen Rounds - In place of Pistol Pestilence.

Pistol Gambit - If you don't have Primed Pistol Gambit.

Target Cracker - If you don't have Primed Target Cracker.

Heated Charge - If you don't have [Primed Heated Charge].

Make sure to at least have 17.8% status chance on the weapon, do not go lower. Since this weapon is a shotgun the status chance goes based per pellet, with this build you have 28 pellets per shot. Which practically means you are guaranteed a status proc every shot

Non-Recommended Alternative Mods

Magnum Force - So I discussed this in my last video, and let me say it again....stop using magnum force...it's garbage and does nothing to help, especially considering this is a side-arm shotgun.

Hollow Point - You only get 1.2x more of a critical multiplier, which is worthless considering that if you took out anything you would lose serious amounts of DPS.

Synergy with Kuva Brakk

  • [Nova]'s Molecular Prime makes all sources of damage increase by 100% against primed enemies, on top of that they will detonate upon death dealing blast damage.
