So Is Ignis The Worst Primary In The Game?

I got it earlier today and have it leveled to 15 with a potato in it. I am blown away by how horribly this thing fails. Admittedly, I did not read anything about it before crafting, but even against Infested on Io it is worthless. It seems its not even capable of hitting one enemy at once, which is absurd considering its a flame thrower.

Is there any way to make this weapon effective or is it just flat out bad?

We can't discuss anything until you define "worst"

Worst in what? DPS? Burst Damage? Range? AoE? Effects?

I can say stuff like Ogris is worst because it isn't ninja enough.

Worst as in just flat out worst. It has no purpose at all. Low damage, poor ammo efficiency, only effective against weak infested, low range, only hits one enemy at a time, and requires clan research to craft. I have seen Grakata cited as the worst primary, and while it is one of the only primaries I do not own, I can't imagine it being worse than Ignis

I will take it on a test run. It was decent the last time I used it, not sure about now.

The problem isnt the Ignis itself. Well... it KINDA is. but

 

Its the Fact Elemental Damage quickly become garbage with how armor works.

 

That and it doesnt function like an actual flame thrower. Honestly it should work more like Team Fortress 2's flamethrower, as in an AOE cone. Right now it just stops at the first thing it hits.
 

 

 

I remember killing things on Xini with mine, so maybe you're not modding it well.

They buffed everything on Xini, its pretty garbage now.

I'm at level 15 with it and currently have Serration (12 slots) and Split Chamber (15 slots) on it. What do you recommend I put on next?

Yup, it's working fine.

I will upload a video in 5 mins of it smashing through mobs on Xini.

I want to level it up to 30 to get the mastery points. I'm almost at level 10 and have nearly all the primary weapons at level 30.

Gotta say, hated Ignis at first, levelled it to around 17 with potato and then left it while I levelled other primary weapons instead.  Went back to it recently to level it to 30 for mastery.  It seems that after I gained more experience with modding the other weapons, I was able to put a better loadout on it and found that it's actually pretty effective!!  

 

Agree it should have cone damage instead of single target.  Works more like the Flux at the moment, and I think that is wrong for a flame thrower.

 

But worst primary...no way!! I like the Ignis!!

 

Play with your mod loadouts and you should see better results.  Look at the base stats for the weapon you are using, including things like base crit chance and damage and then mod to suit.  

 

Good luck!

As of now I would say it is the worst, I was curious if other people agreed with me.
