The Bullet Hose | Kuva Karak

Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the [Kuva Karak]. I was actually asked by a subscriber to make a build for this weapon, so here we go!

This build does a huge amount of damage to single targets and easily slaughters small crowds up to level 100 against Infested Eximus and level 135 for the other factions in about 2-5 seconds.

Weapon Information

Information about the weapon:

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

  • The Kuva Karak 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 4 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.

Kuva Element Recommendation

With this weapon you get the option of having a bonus Kuva Element which caps at 60% based off the progenitor warframe you choose to spawn the Kuva Lich.

My recommended Kuva Element would be:

  • Heat - Heat is incorporated into my Infested, Corrupted, and Grineer builds. Heat causes enemies to panic for 4 seconds and strips up to 50% armor while causing ongoing damage for 6 seconds after the first second.

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages

Stats about the weapon:

Advantages:

  • High Critical Chance of 23%

  • Very High Status Chance of 31%

  • Innate 0.2 punch through (made better with Primed Shred)

  • Extremely high accuracy for long range

Disadvantages:

  • Low Puncture damage, but is made up with the Heat element.

Builds

Corpus: Up to Level 135

Due to having a Kuva Element of Heat the build against Corpus is weakened with damage, but is still powerful. Magnetic amplifies damage dealt to shields, while Heat causes the enemy to panic and strips up to 50% armor. The reason behind the build being weaker is due to the innate heat, rather then the innate toxin I prefer against corpus. It does well against humans, but very poor against armored corpus.

Infested: Up to Level 100

Due to having a Kuva Element of Heat the build against Infested will be Corrosive/Heat. Corrosive reduces armor of fossilized infested, while heat just annihilates flesh infested. However, the weapon falls low on DPS against the infested due to 220 lower total damage and a lower punch-through. Enemies on the infested side actually soak up bullets while they are still in dying animation.

Corrupted & Grineer: Up to Level 135

Due to having a Kuva Element of Heat the build against Corruption & Grineer will be Viral/Heat. Viral amplifies damage dealt to health while Heat causes the target to panic and strips up to 50% armor. The weapon is strongest against the Corruption and Grineer not only because of the elements used, but also due to the fire rate, there is a reason why I called "The Bullet Hose".

Recommended Alternative Mods

Recommended Good Mods:

  • Bladed Rounds - In place of Heavy Caliber if you can't handle the accuracy loss. (This in-turn will make the weapon go from medium range to long range.)

  • Hammer Shot - In place of Heavy Caliber if you can't handle the accuracy loss. (This in-turn will make the weapon go from medium range to long range.)

  • Guidance Ordnance - In place of Vigilante Supplies if you want a bit more accuracy if using Heavy Caliber.

  • Shred - If you don't have Primed Shred.

  • Cryo Rounds - If you don't have Primed Cryo Rounds.

Non-Recommended Mods:

  • Hunter Munitions - Yes you can get Slash procs more easily, but this mod in place of anything above severely hurts DPS.

  • Vigilante Armaments - I suggest just putting the Vigilante mods on your sentinel instead.

Ways to increase Critical Chance and Damage

There are several ways to enhance Critical Chance and Damage for this weapon:

Damage:

  • Rhino's Roar adds bonus damage.

  • Banshee's Sonar gives a huge damage Multiplier.

  • [Mirage]'s Eclipse mixed with her Hall of Mirrors adds a massive damage bonus during the day or in light.

Critical Chance:

  • Harrow's Covenant can add up to 50% Critical Chance and 200% on headshots.

  • Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.

  • Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give 200% Crit Chance.

Recommended Arcanes

  • Arcane Rage - On Headshot, 15% chance for 180% damage to Primary Weapons for 24 seconds.

  • Arcane Primary Charger - On Melee Kill, 30% chance for 300% damage to Primary Weapons for 12 seconds.

  • Arcane Avenger - On being damaged, 21% chance for 45% Critical Chance for 12 seconds.
