Secura Penta Build

[(PSN)lhbuch]

Never paid too much attention to this weapon, actually dont like the self damage. I want to prepare for Tether grenades, so what is the build you use for this? Primed Cryo  is good?

Please share your build.

Well, with both status and crit not viable you can only do pure damage: (Just throw Tether on the open slot, Builder doesn't have it yet)

There's nothing "good" or "bad" about Primed Cryo, just your willingness to throw another Forma on it for a bit more damage:

There are two steps to having a great Penta build

Step 1, rank penta up to 30

Step 2, equip Tonkor instead.

Tether grenades is a game changer for this weep!  I avoided it as well, as to not be "that guy" in missions, unless I was in a all-friends group.

Primed Cryo is a must IMO, you need dmg; as much as you can pack in. Your gonna eat a slot or 2 for QoL stuff (tether included).

Here's what I run ATM..  The mod being covered up is Terminal Velocity the 60% flight speed mod, I use it for longballing mf'ers on large maps.

Oh damn i've never heard of tether grenades.. I need this.

Thanks for the builds. Is Split chamber bad for this weapon CC or damage?

[NinjaZeku]

FWIW, here's my build:

Serration, Heavy Caliber (no real accuracy loss, as opposed to e.g. Ogris lol)
Firestorm, Split Chamber (yay more AoE / damage, 3 shot limit is plenty IMO)
Stormbringer, Infected Clip
Tether Grenades, Riven Mod [ATM simply base damage & Cold]

Annoyingly, Multishot-generated grenades count against the 5 active grenades limit,
so if you want to cover more of the map in Tether Grenades traps, you might want to skip it.

The way I use my Penta though, I'll either kill stuff before the first 'nade even hits a surface
or maybe wait a few seconds for some enemies to amass in my chokepoint tether
so there'll usually only be one or two shots worth of grenades active, anyway.
