Vital sense 1 maxed

Terminal velocity 1 maxed

Fast hand r3, r2 and r1

Stormbringer 3 with 1 r2

lol @ Torid not being viable for a status build, my Blast + Corrosive one is quite a beast :D

 

FWIW, here's my Secura Penta build:

 

http://warframe-builder.com/Primary_Weapons/Builder/Secura_Penta/t_30_22203003_128-5-3-132-2-5-134-3-5-137-0-10-138-7-5-141-4-5-150-1-10-329-6-3_137-7-150-8-132-8-134-11-141-6-128-7-329-7-138-6/en/2-0-84/

 

Some Punchthrough + Enemy Sense (stacking with Animal Instinct)

lets you hits enemies not just around corners / over obstacles but also through doors from far off, woot.

 

(BTW, Wukong's Defy makes Penta & co a lot more fun / less suicidal, heh.)

Theres not that much grenade launchers availible in the game atm.
I suggest getting a basic penta(easy to build, easy to handle, BP can be bought in market) and later upgrade for secura.

Besides Tonkor, there are really not much choice for another launcher, i.e. Miter, Ogris, Penta & Torid.

 

And tbh, none of them is viable for a status build, as mainly they are used for dealing pure damage.

 

You can try Miter though, it cannot deal crit damage while has the highest status chance of 50%.

 

But farming for Miter could be a pain.

@tahem , i dunno, you're the sixth guy who suggest me to get penta , maybe ill get it after i get heavy cal mod. But do you had a penta? If yes, can you screenshot your mod?

@sprycrow , i got the blade and 3 parts to go. Still such a pain to find this thing parts

Kulstar, more of a cluster launcher, but is very viable for a status build.

The initial explosion (usually 3 with multishot) and the secondary clusters help it cover a very nice area.

I can't recall the exact figures but with the 4 status mods on and Rad / Viral I am easily able to control the main approach on T3 / T4 Defence.

Everything dies, on later rounds everything small dies and everything big is fighting each other.

Edit: Usually I get 3 explosions, plus 9 clusters, all 12 explosions with a 34% chance of inflicting a status proc, and of course this on multiple enemies due to AoE.

Basically whole groups fighting, on fire, stripped of armor or health!

I do not mean to argue, but for my understanding, frequent status proc does not necessarily equals to status-viable.

 

Especially with launcher-type-like weapons mostly deal elemental damage only, which will always have the elemental status effect.

 

But speaking of this, OP can instead look for these elemental-damage only weapons. Build for 90% elemental mod and may also achieve a "psuedo-pure-status" build or so.

Penta is a soild one, I only sold mine because I built a Tonkor and prefer it. 

 

Advantage is you can lob your grenade and choose when it detonates yourself, downsie it can kill you if not carefull.
