Duality52 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 After checking the Codex, the Prisma Grinlok popped up. It can also be linked too. Differences: Same damage, but Slash and Impact damage got swapped around. 21% Crit Chance > 15% Crit Chance 2.9 Crit Multiplier > 2.5 Crit Multiplier 37% Status Chance > 35% Status Chance 21 Magazine Size >> 9 Lower Accuracy (32 < 44) These stats should've been what Semi-Autos should have all this time. Nevertheless, I'm eager to use the Grinlok once more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)death404 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 One of my favorite guns in the game. RIP 6 forma on the standard Grinlok but so so worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiltskillet Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Next best thing to a VELDT PRIME. I'm delighted, especially as I have two good rivens for it already *. The increased crit% will get me over 100% without using Point Strike. Which was like, my biggest gripe with the weapon: that its slow RoF made me really want reliable crits, but it took 2 mods plus a good riven to get there. And of course, the higher crit multiplier and better slash is gravy. But... 6 hours ago, Duality52 said: These stats should've been what Semi-Autos should have all this time. Yeah. These weapons really need some help, whether it's better stats or some sort of gimmick. They have a few advantages over AoE and spray weapons, but those advantages aren't important in most situations, and where they are important... there just isn't much that isn't covered far better by Snipers. As cool as it is, I think nearly everybody will master the Prislok and move on, while a very few of us are happily plinking away with it. * It was so surreal watching trade chat get absolutely bombed last night with "WTB GRINLOK RIVENS". 😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibmobello Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't see any reason to use a semi auto rifle over a sniper but if you wanna give free plat to speculator to buy a riven... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azamagon Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Amazing upgrades! Feels every so slightly trollish to put the crit at 21% instead of 23% though, as that would've allowed us to just use the augment + Point Strike for guaranteed crits.

bibmobello Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nice... i wanted to try the grinlok and buy a riven for it, now i can't anymore. F.. DE and the crazy guy asking +1000 for a crappy riven... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Matter Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 magazine size makes the difference. The reduced accuracy really hurts though. You tend to miss alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesix6 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The good thing about it the slash damage, with my -60% impact riven I can go for a slash build without using any slash mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could give it a try if this grinlok had some special abilities like the buzlock or the sobek but for now its damage it's so low compared to sniper rifles and his usability only slightly better.

Azamagon Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Playing around with it, besides getting more consistent crits (which is great), it's still a rather subpar rifle (even if it's fun). Yes, it hits rather hard, and the magsize increase is nice for sure, but it doesn't really... fit, so to speak, with its incredibly low RoF (it's slower than Snipers, for example). Thus, some buff-suggestions (on top of their current stats): Grilnok Base critchance increased to 23% (up from 15%) - This allows its augment + Point Strike to guaranteed critical hits. RoF increased to 2,0 (from 1,67) - Makes it better for Warframes' combat pacing. Prisma Grinlok Base critchance increased to 34% (up from 21%) - This allows guaranteed crits with the augment alone (freeing a modslot, giving better room for modding-diversity)! RoF increased to 2,67 (from 1,67) - Makes it better for Warframes' combat pacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
