How Should I Mod My Boltor?

Question

I bought a Boltor yesterday to improve my mid range capabilities (Valkyr with an emphasis on melee) and I'm wondering how I should build it.  My secondary is just a viper and is nothing special, but my melee and my most used weapon is Venka with magnetic and Malicious Raptor.  I can't really think of a way to compliment my Venka using my Boltor.  Other than the obvious Puncture, what do you all think would be a good element to add to my Boltor?

 

Edit: I should probably mention this is just a normal Boltor.  I'm only rank 3 at the moment, so this is more for map completion than Void runs.

Actually, dont add puncture, its only 30%.

 

Add Split Chamber, Serration, and elementals. iirc theres a D polarity on there for cryo rounds already, although you may not want to use it for void (would rather have corrosive+cold, meaning the cold has to come after the corrosive and the d polarity is first :().

i don't know if I'm ready for Void yet.  I'm not even rank 4 right now and a Stalker attacked me during an invasion mission and used me as his personal Swifter.  I imagine the Void mobs are even tougher than him.

If you can't kill a Stalker... you can probably still tackle the Void.  Void's got NOTHING on the Stalker in his current state.  Unless you literally prepare for him to arrive, he uses most people as his personal Swiffer.

Without a catalyst: http://goo.gl/bH9TPi

Change Stormbringer to Hellfire for Infested, to Infected Clip for Grineer.

 

With a Catalyst: http://goo.gl/zhBctg (corpus) / http://goo.gl/2QSM1b (infested)/ http://goo.gl/gqDkaf (lvl 18+ grineer)/ http://goo.gl/teC7CJ (< lvl 18 grineer)

 

I've used a lower rank Serration, dunno what yours is at, but that should give you a general idea. Avoided the harder to obtain vault and event mods.

I just thought I'd post a link to my boltor prime build, since it should also work on a normal boltor. The mods are mostly easy to come by, the only one that's tricky is heavy caliber. Also, I highly recommend getting a boltor prime as soon as possible. Do whatever you have to, spend any plat you've got, or trade your malicious raptor. It was a major game changer for me, even unranked it can hold its own at low level content. It'll carry you, especially with a catalyst and some forma.

I bought a normal Boltor because I figured it'd be a while before I get Boltor Prime.  I can't keep spending money on plat like this or I'll be out of house and home. T-T

 

Still, I like that build.  I'll keep it in mind when I work on my Boltor.
