Flux Rifle any good in sortie?

[Sanza26]

My char is MR 8 (progressing to 9) now. On today sortie (second mission with Elemental Enhance modifier) my Ignis, modded for Fire/Corrosion with 200+ base damage in each,  was too slow to  kill Infected mobs. In Dojo Energy Lab  there is an Primary Flux Rifle that do slash damage as main quota. 

If I craft it, put an Oro Catalyst, and mod with max Serration, Vigilante Armament, Hunters Ammunition, Shred, Sawtooth Clip + other mods for CC and CD - will be this weapon better?

Don't have Split Chamber and Heavy Caliber mods yet 😞

Not sure about the flux rifle but it is a laser gun and if modded properly it is good with Nekros but I never liked it cause I have like so many weapons that is better and also about ignis,the trick is to use heavy calibur and mod for crit chance(just need point strike) and crit DMG mod (vital sense) it may seemed a bit weird but it is pretty good and you need elemental mods that is balanced between faction like corrosive does more DMG to grinner(not sure but it is something like that) so mod it for a element that is strong against health(infested) and shield(the dam nulifier faction) and also I use ignis to fight high tier index with eaze

And also try out Lenz it is by far my one of favourite weapon (my Arca plasmor got good riven) Lenz can do sortie 3 with eaze (one shot heavy gunners and others)

Flux Rifle can be quite good, but I would strongly suggest getting Split Chamber and Heavy Caliber, you'll be using them on various weapons, not just the Flux Rifle. Also, if you're gonna make a Flux Rifle build, get your hands on this:

In case you want to buy instead of farm:
https://warframe.market/items/split_chamber
https://warframe.market/items/heavy_caliber
https://warframe.market/items/flux_overdrive
They're all cheap.
