ziyax Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 just play the game where it gets u i am fine and i havnt used a single forma rank 5 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_Mask Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I use it in a full crit build with full fire status on my ember prime. But I'm the kind of tenno that has a specific set of weapons for each frame. Edit: and I'm MR 17 if it is relevant Edited November 3, 2014 by Demon_Mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJohnson Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's pretty good for status/crit builds. It procs constantly, and is one of the few good physically-based status weapons. So, sure, go ahead if you like it. Ammo consumption is a bit of an issue, though, and it could still use a buff. Regardless, I wouldn't sell it just yet if I were you. I sold too many weapons early on and sorta regret some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spechtre Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I would wait for the soma, I didn't start putting formas into weapons until around rank 8. At MR8 you have access to most if not all the weapons and have better choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 "Hakuna Grakata... Such a wonderful phrase... It means no ammo... For the rest of your days..." I still rock my Grakata from time to time. It's a very good status chance monster. Build it with Viral combo element and de-buff enemy HP all day long, or Blast combo element to keep knocking down enemies for CC. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notionphil Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Grakata is far more fun and unique than the Soma, and at least as effective. However it requires all sorts of modding, formas and status/event mods to get there. So, if you have the goodies, go for Grakata. If not, well, the Soma and it's brutish cousin the Boltor Prime are always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahpw Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Grakata is a signature weapon. Keep it if you're the sentimental sort like me. I even keep the Braton, catalyzed and forma'ed 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMenton Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 i am Mrank 14 and i believe Grakata is still after 1,5 year playing Warframe one of the best weapons and far more enjoyable than Soma mine has a crit build with 4 formas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you build Grakata ^that^ way, during that journey you forget that Soma exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafilp Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Keep that till DE release "AKGRAKATA" !! . . . just jking. if you have fun with some weapon just do what you want on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenzinNinJa Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 While it's a question of personal preference, I still prefer my Grakata Bullet Hose over any other gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khallisto Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I agree about Soma being better for criticals, but I just leveled mine for mastery points and sold it. I have my Grakata catalyzed and forma'ed (using status build by now) and it's really fun watch Corrupt Heavy Gunners being covered by numbers and trying to stand up. Try both and make your choice later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkyPygmy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Do you enjoy using it? If yes then keep. People are too caught up in numbers. Grataka is a great crit or status weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leriel Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 With the new introduction of +%status duration mod, I made grakata into an utility gear for support in high end mission with a high dps secondary weapon. Radiation + other elemental combo + Saryn venom spore make a pretty solid support build. Close to MR18 for bragging rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Gilead09 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Grakata? Catalyse, forma it 4 times, use Volt with shield. Eternal <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloan441 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Keep it. If you don't, you're throwing away one of the better guns to use late game--not to mention one of the more fun ones. The key is getting a catalyst in it and three or four forma. This will allow a status/crit build and the gun flat out rocks. The recoil is vicious, but some trigger discipline goes a long ways and helps to preserve your ammo (which can disappear distressingly quickly otherwise). The gun is capable of easily hitting 14k dps, and can top out around 20k for HC builds. It's my own Valkyr's favorite weapon at present and she doesn't leave the Liset without it (though, she is fickle about these things...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayInTheSun Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I just finished levelling my Grakata and I really want to like the gun but it's been rough. It's got some decent stats but due to the lack of polarity slots it's been tapering off for me in effectiveness. I'm holding on to it in hopes of pumping it up with formas and a potato to turn it into a beast later on. Judging from a few posts here it looks like it'll be worth the wait!

(PSN)IkariWarrior83 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Do you enjoy using it? If yes then keep. People are too caught up in numbers. Grataka is a great crit or status weapon. This. I posted a thread (now buried onto page 3) about whether the Seer pistol sucks. And what it boils down to is that one player (master-ranked) loves it and thinks it's a great pistol. Another player (also master-ranked) said that they can't stand it for various reasons. I hate using the Seer pistol, so regardless of what those two players (with opposite opinions) say, I will never use the Seer pistol again. As such, I'm going to be selling it tonight. If you don't like using the Grakata, then sell it. If you do like using it, then mod it differently using the suggestions in this thread, and you'll see marked improvement in your rifle, no doubt :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
