My Beautiful Grakata

Honestly this is just an appreciation post because I love my grakata.

Don't be deceived by the low numbers.  With 62.5% crit chance and 75.2% status chance  I am either critting or debuffing (or both) on every shot which gives me around 300-500 damage per bullet in void.  I slapped shred on the baby and I can clear whole waves on defense missions with 1 or 2 well aimed bursts.  Grineer armor and corprus shields are basically non-existant for this weapon.  The only thing that would make this more perfect is a Vile Precision mod to drop the recoil and fire rate to have it as accurate as a soma, or a heavy calibre mod to have it act as a pseudo-shotgun.

 

Anyways I'm just really happy about it.  Please flame me and say how crappy my weapon is :)

It's really nice to see "unused" weapons with efficient builds. Everyone is always using the same weapons in very high level missions for obvious reasons. But I respect and admire the players that find "underpowered" weapons and make them strong. 

 

For example I'm in love with the Grinlok when everyone says it's garbage... I feel like a sniper but without the annoying zoom (yes sniper without zoom, you know, most of the missions are indoors and the huge zoom is not helpful).

Forma'd mine 4 times. Then soma came out. Still prefer this weapon due to the rate of fire that is instant. With a nice crit build I'v seen crits over 2k and sometimes much more. This weapon is awesome and a ton of fun to use once you put the work into ranking it up many times. I could forma mine again, but I'm waiting for the prime version of it if that ever happens. Don't think there's been a prime version of a grineer weapon.

There are a lot better weapons than the grakata for every stat it has, but you should use whatever you want. I use the aklex even though i have atleast 4 more powerfull secondaries. 

May it serve you well in the hardest of missions!

 

The grakata is actually unique in it has the highest crit/status chance ratio and highest rate of fire in the game.  That means that at full spray it has more DPS and a faster time to kill than the soma.  It has the highest status chance for any automatic weapon making it the best weapon for applying status debuffs.  The fact that you can mod it so that its garunteed a debuff means that corprus shields and grineer armor are basically eliminated after the first shot.

 

The only real downside of the weapon is that it's garbage without a catalyst, not that useful endgame without some forma, suffers from poor accuracy and eats through ammo like a pig.  But once you get a few forma on it and mod it correctly, you have a weapon that has the highest DPS and highest rate of fire of all hitscan weapons in the game (obviously bows and boltors can do more damage, but those arent hitscan).  With an ammo mutation mod I dont even need to think about ammo and can spray away full clips at my hearts content.

 

As a close to mid-range weapon, it actually out-preforms the soma in many aspects.

 

Oh I forgot to mention it also has a lot of recoil so inexperienced players may find it difficult to even shoot..  but honestly as an experienced counter-strike player I barely notice the recoil.  The soma is kind of like any rifle in a Call of Duty game.  $&*&*#(%&ly laser accurate at over 200m fully automatic.  The grakata handles more like an AK47 from counter strike.  Shoot in bursts of 2 or 3 and if you're going to spray aim downwards to compensate for recoil.

Good for you!

 

It's always cool to see someone really enjoying a weapon, that's what Warframe is all about for me, getting a weapon you love and juicing it up. It's great. I love the soma like that, course, I never hear the end of it because apparently it's impossible to say you like the soma with 7 dude/dudets biting your head off about it, but for get that I'mma go forma my soma again!

i'll get around to that next Forma someday.

 

Yeah forma it 1 more time for that - slot.

The reason I never potato my Grakata is because I am expecting a Grakata wraith soon™

I very nearly had myself a beautiful virus Grakata a while back... until DE released the Grinlok which had a higher status chance, more accuracy and much better damage/bullet (lower DPS, I know). That got several Formas... then out came the Marelok which I ignored because we are bound to get a dual version in the future.

 

Right now, I've settled on the Tysis. Guaranteed radiation, viral and corrosive procs on every shot, with punch-through so you can do it to an entire line of enemies.

Grakata is my favourite gun too, because this gun look like a gun in others game ( high recoil , spread bullets )  on a high level i have to aim at the head of a target if not bullet will run out so fast and that 's very fun and challenge for me .

i use Rifle scavenger as my main aura 
Shred is really need for me to saving some ammo and helping with super recoil of this gun when there'r too many enemy.

i want to have a Malignat Force but it's too expensive  :( 

 

actually i just want to say i really like this gun :) 

 

P.S. sorry for my english
