Burston Prime Build, Suggestions Needed

[Petersheikah]

Ehy there guys

I'm trying to figure out whats best fpr my Burston Prime. At the moment I've got Serration, Split Chamber and Heavy Caliber; Malignant Force, Infected Clip/StormBringer, High Voltage; Cryo Rounds and Rime Rounds.

I enjoy a lot semiauto and burst weapons, like Latron and Sybaris, and I used to install Shred to get more rate of fire and punch through.

But now I'm a bit consfused about the Burston, whats best? Maybe taking off StormBringer/Infected Clip to install Shred? Or is it better Metal Auger? I'm trying to get a viable build that makes the weapon strong in every situation, but I'm a bit worried about the damage difference.

What do you guys think?

Is it better to keep these elemental mods or I should change one of them with Shred/Metal Auger?

This is what I use

Definitely keep the element mods. With three forma, my build has nothing but element mods and heavy caliber. Fire rate really doesnt help because it only affects the time inbetween bursts.

This is stupid and DE should change.

That's the build I use. Focuses on status chance and crowd control and is very easy to mod for vs all factions.

Thank you guys for the help :D

I have a 4-forma Burston Prime.

 

It seems to respond best to raw damage mods. Punchthrough is always useful, but the speed boost from Shred isn't all that, unless you're one of those very quick to get on target. It has significant status chance, so building around dual stat mods has some benefit, especially if you want to keep forma to a minimum.

 

Heavy caliber is--as usual--arguable. I don't use it on mine, but I like my headshots and long range gunnery. It's one of those things you have to experiment with to see what works for you at your comfortable engagement ranges.

 

People disparage this gun, but it's quite powerful when modded correctly.

Max lvl Serration, rank 5 heavy caliber(U can max it, but you will lost much accuracy) Max Split Chamber, Max Shred, Malignant force , Infected clip, Cryo Rounds, High Voltage for Viral and Electric , this is a top tier weapons, the status king

You'll want "Gilded Truth". 80% fire rate, which doesn't really matter, but it's effect is pretty good

You want to use the 4 dual event stat mods. This will net you a 74.2% status chance/bullet. Mind you that your status chance in-game and WFBuilder will be different, since the status chance on WFBuilder is per burst (3 bullets), while in-game the number shows your status chance / bullet.

indeed, Gas AoE and heals 25% of max hp

Gilded Truth has improved this gun quite a bit.

 

It was very good before, but it's simply outstanding now. Using GT can actually influence your warframe build itself just from the recovery on the proc. It can also replace HC with a similar level of improved damage (I've never been comfortable with the accuracy loss on this particular gun when using HC).

 

The build is largely the same:

 

Serration

Shred

Split chamber

Gilded Truth

2x 90% elementals in combo of choice

2x 60% elemental/status focused on combo of choice.

 

Dual combo works as well. Just depends what you want the gun to do for you.

Thanks for all the help, I'm planning to get Gilded Truth asap! Well, if its price isn't too high...

[MechaGent]

+1 for gilded truth over heavy caliber, it makes your frame a lot tankier as long as you're close enough to the action to be going off a lot.
