Malignant Force Vs Infected Clip

[--Oracle--]

Ok so I have both mods but don't know which one is better.

 

This is also my first forum ever, so if this isn't the place to post please tell me.

 

Thank you in advance!

Use both when you can. Otherwise go for damage with infected clip, or status with malignant force.

It depends on whether you want moar damage or more status chance.

This really depends on the weapon, using malignant force you're trading up front damage for shield penetrating DoTs (or say Viral for life/2), so if the weapon you are using already has a decent status chance (say 15% and up), I'd go with that for the additional procs across the board.

 

edit: Actually, which weapon are you working with? I could tell you from that if it's an optimal mod or not since some of the bullet hose weapons compensate with fire rate.

Depends on how goof your default proc chance is. If your proc chance is high, you might want to use malignant force to improve it.

I usually use a Boltor (Working for the Prime) or a Dread.

High base Status %? Malignant Force

Low <15%? Infected Clip

 

Tho it is possible to slot both in on some guns.

WOAH I just found out I had Split Chamber!!! O.o

Infected Clip for raw damage.

 

Malignant Force if you're going for status chance (Not a lot of weapons have good enough status chance to justify it)

 

Both if going for specific damage types (For example, and anti-Corpus 4 Elemental Mod loadout would be Stormbringer + Cryo Rounds + Infected Clip + Malignant Force for Magnetic + Toxic damage)

[TheCometCE]

I usually use a Boltor (Working for the Prime) or a Dread.

 

Dread I can say with confidence it's worth investing in, that already has a great status chance and it'll make your big procs MUCH more reliable (personally, I recommend you put cryo in there next to it for viral procs).

 

Boltor is a base 10% status chance, so you'll bump that up to 16% with Malignant Force, which is decent - 1:10 vs 1:5.8 or so. When you add fire rate or multishot on top of that it'll work nicely, especially with the impact procs locking down bigger targets.

As someone who's a massive fan of Bows, I'd argue that a properly modded Dread has no need for Status procs since things hit by it should be dead after the first arrow.

 

Even more so if you're good at getting those headshots for 4x damage.

At the same time though, as a raging late-game warrior, having a high chance to proc Viral makes the Dread absolutely devastating. Cuts enemy life right in half, it's a beautiful thing vs those level 100+ enemies :)

 

I guess it all breaks down to preference, up front damage vs utility.

Thanks to all of you. I also love my Dread. :D

[botbot123321]

I personably like to put malignant force high voltage and hammer shot on, so weapons with high Status chance like grakata or Latron prime. This slopes for corrosive damage that will take down high level grineer's armor.

Dread truly shines with the crit build. Not many things can take a 20k damage arrow to the face.
