MAIN GUIDE | BACK TO INTERMEDIATE
As you progress through the game, having the right weapons can significantly impact your effectiveness in combat. Here’s a guide to some excellent intermediate weapons, along with essential mods and tips.
1. Understanding Weapons Types:
Before we dive into specific weapons, Let's categorize them based on their Strengths:
Crit Weapons:
- These weapons have ~20% or more critical strike chance.
- Primaries (rifles, shotguns) are the strongest for crit builds, followed by melee weapons.
- All weapon types can work well with crit builds.
Status Weapons:
- These weapons have ~20% or more status chance
- They excel on weapons that hit quickly (similar to on-hit builds in other games).
- Avoid running status builds on shotguns unless they have 30% status chance or more.
Hybrid Weapons:
- These weapons have ~15% or more critical strike and status chance.
- Strongest on melee weapons but decent for all types.
Garbage Weapons AKA MR Fodder:
- These weapons have sub-par critical strike and status chance.
- Most of them are not worth using unless you have a powerful Riven mod or they are exceptions.
2. Core Mods for Intermediate Weapons:
Damage Mods:
- Serration (Primed) for rifles.
- Point Blank for shotguns.
- Hornet Strike (Primed) for pistols.
- Pressure Point for melee.
Multi-Shot Mods:
- Always used except on melee weapons (they don’t exist).
Crit Chance / Crit Damage Mods:
- Always used on crit or hybrid weapons (except melee).
90% Elemental Mods:
- Main damage mods after adding +damage/+multi-shot/+crit.
- Dual stats (60% elemental damage, 60% status chance) are also essential for status builds.
3. Additional Tips:
IPS Mods:
- These boost the damage of Impact, Puncture, or Slash.
- Except for the mods that give 120% or more additional IPS damage, they are generally worthless.
Experiment and Adapt:
- Try different combinations in the Simulacrum to find what works best for your playstyle.
- Optimize your gear using Forma to add polarities.
