Lickity-Split Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Why doesnt your Soma have any Crit mods ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)brentd25 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Im still fairly new to this type of game, i figured the 3.0x/30% was decent?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hustler-One Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Why doesnt your Soma have any Crit mods ? Yeah, the Soma is a pure crit rifle. At least add the two crit mods then mod with elementals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hustler-One Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Im still fairly new to this type of game, i figured the 3.0x/30% was decent?? It acually is the best crit weapon in game (^.^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinoKami007 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 hmm, i think this thread gonna be moved away to the section it should be in... and in regard to the build -> a moxed point strike would give ya 75% of critical, plus a vital sense (+120% crit dam) and with a fully up hammer shot (+60% crit dam) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharrack Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Would get rid of the Ammo Drum, the Rifle Aptitude and Piercing Hit and try to get your hands on Vital Sense, Point Strike and Split Chamber. Also if you can get your hands on Shredder (nightmare mod, punchthrough and RoF) put it in for the Bane mod, but be carefull with your bursts then or you run out of ammo faster than your mutator can help to refill it.

LynxZ4r0Z Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It acually is the best crit weapon in game (^.^) 6 forma synapse = 70k crits :P 4 forma synapse = crits all the time up to 55k crit Synapse < 1st place Crit machine Soma < 2nd place crit machine its how i see it, correct me if im wrong.

Kaokasalis Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The set up im using for my soma when im fighting the Grineer is: Serration (damage) Heavy Calibur (more damge but also loses accuracy though its not very notable) Split Chamber (more damage through multishot) Point Strike (crit chance increase since the soma is great for crits) Vital Sense (increases crit damage) Metal Auger (adds punch through allowing you to hit multiple foes in a line) Infected Clip (adds poison damage but i am using using this with cyro rounds to form viral damage) Cyro Rounds (adds cold damage but i am using this with infected clip to form viral damage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pengu_Imperialus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 ok how do i do that?? lol You do know about polarities and forma and clan tech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pengu_Imperialus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Also if you wanna do solo play and just need a clan for the tech send me a friend request. We got openings and all the tech is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)brentd25 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 You do know about polarities and forma and clan tech? ya i know about that stuff, i have it already, i just didn't know you can get that much off of one weapon. is it certain mods or does just using a forma upgrade it more in general?

(PSN)brentd25 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 and how big is your clan?? I'm usually on late at night so a bigger clan is more helpful to me being as theres almost always someone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentCynic Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Im still fairly new to this type of game, i figured the 3.0x/30% was decent?? It is quite decent, and that's why you should use crit mods. Crit mods don't add values directly; the percentage they list is based off of the weapon's base crit chance. For instance, let's say you put 50% crit chance on your Soma, it will have 30% + (30% x 0.50) = 45% crit chance total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually on late at night so a bigger clan is more helpful to me being as theres almost always someone on. Really small clan lol. Just hit up the recruit channel to find a moon clan. As for the formas they just free up points to put higher cost mods on. Like split chamber costs 15 without the right polarity, 8 with it. It all depends what mods your trying to fit in. Lots of good advice above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight addition to the damage type: If you go high waves in defense or survival against grineer wou might want a secondary with radiation damage as some of the heavies and the elites are vulnerable against it instead of corrosive. Edit: Something to also look into is a blueprint for ammo packs, if possible from clan as they give more (expensive as it's 250k credits i think but worth it as it only needs to be bought once). Shred. Shredder is a Shotgun mod. Common Typo but didnt want OP to get confused. Otherwise this and what Shinokami said. Thanks. Not playing on an english client and sometimes confuse the names of ones that are similar in english. Edited April 16, 2014 by Sharrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
