Question About Crit Build

[(PSN)sb001001]

How much base crit chance should a weapon have to make it a worthwhile choice for a crit build?

And is there a difference between the effectiveness of a crit build between primary/secondary weapons and melee weapons, or do these work in the same way?

Apart from the crit chance, are there any other stats I should be looking into giving a boost for a decent crit build?

10%+ for melee (stances play a big part as well) around 20% for firarms 
 

[(PSN)JedWrecked]

For a melee crit build you want the chance to be about 20 to 25 percent, possible a 15 but not recommended. On guns higher on secondary crit than on primary but you still want a high crit chance because that is one of the main sources of damage.

10%+ for melee 
 

if modding for higher rank enemies go for a 20+ build for the berserker mod.

most melees need to atleast be able to achieve 30% chance to be viable... or have a stance that compensates...

Pistols id say need to achieve atleast 50% chance to be worth it.

Crit multiplier is also a factor when considering a crit build, for example latron prime has a less than optimal crit chance of 15%, but it's crit multiplier of x2.5 makes up for this.

30 and above. or else is waste of time.

 

max chance is 150% = 1.5 rifle

 

60% for true steel

 

30% + 60 % = 48%

 

only worth doing

 

if lesser than that,

 

eg 20%

 

= 32%. You equip an elemnt mod will produce more damage xd

Thank you all for the explantions!

15% as the bare minimum for a crit build. 20% or higher is recommended. On very few select weapons is a 10% crit chance viable for a crit build, namely the Synoid Simulor.
