Curious About The Grakata

[GhostShip20]

I am curious about the Grakata rifle and how it will scale in high level content. I am now mostly running around with a Vectis being able to one shot anything in high levels which are over level 50. I want to change things up again and use something that people would rarely consider using.

 

So, how is the Grakata at high level content and how many forma do I need to make this weapon powerful? I am thinking about going for a status/crit build.

Grakata is completely viable for "endgame" because of the high proc chance and crit chance. Stick viral on it and enemies will be cut down insanely fast.

The weapon is basically an ammo hose.  You can push decent DPS, but it suffers greatly in terms of ammo efficiency.  Ammo mutation mod is a must or bring a backup weapon.

So, I can kill level 80+ quickly?

You can, but it'll take an entire magazine.  Understand that DPS = damage per bullet x fire rate.  Some weapon shoot on the slower side of things, but hit hard.  Other weapons, like the Grakata / Viper / Dex Furis, don't do a lot of damage per bullet, but shoot very fast.

 

So, yes, you can mod the grakata to decent DPS, but you are going to run out of ammo quickly.  Which is ok, if you are prepared for that.

Can you show me your Grakata mod-build?

I wouldn't build Grakata since apparently Prisma Grakata is coming and its a pretty big upgrade.

Good to know.

It's okay, but seems to be made redundant by the Braton Prime.
