This was tested on lvl 195 Steel Path Exo Gokstad Officers but it works amazingly well in normal gameplay as well.
Here's the mod in question:
It can be obtained in the current Nightwave.
To summarise, as soon as you get the first kill and don't miss, Battacor will work as a very potent laser cannon of death. Basically what Opticor should be. Maybe one day...
Anyway, here's my build:
The Riven is +CC +CD +Toxin, which is now totally unnecessary thanks to Sentient Barrage offering much better values.
As for Battacor itself, you can mod it for the usual Viral+HM, or what I did is Corrosive+HM with Nourish. Just be aware that kills from HM do not charge it's alt fire (it used to though so I'm hoping it's a bug DE will fix).
After giving it some thought since the announcement to re-open the sub, I arrived at the conclusion that I do not want to be a part of this community anymore, both on Reddit and Lemmy. This will be my last post here and I won't see any replies but feel free to discuss anyway. Don't worry, I won't let the door hit me on my way out, but before they load and open (sad Volt main noises) I'd like to explain why.
I initially didn't care about Reddit blackout because I was using the official app, thinking the API changes won't affect me, but since my favourite subreddit decided to join, I did some reading on it and I see why people decided to do the blackout. In order to support everyone participating, including r/Warframe, I also deleted my 7 year old Reddit account with over 200k Karma through the Redacted.
While the people in the Warframe community both here and on Reddit are generally very nice, helpful, and I honestly like interacting with you, I do not want to support a community run by people who bailed on the blackout. I'm not interested in making my own community either because further splintering, albeit miniscule, doesn't benefit anyone.
I've read your reasoning for reopening but don't agree with them. To me, they are excuses we as a community could work around and resolve but you decided to take the easy way out instead of working with us. We could go into the discussion about this in length but it wouldn't change anything because the decisions have already been made and I've no interest in trying to change your mind as much as you don't care about changing mine.
