Also as a bonus to answer the secondary question well it's right int he thing:

Second-highest status chance of any secondary weapons (behind the Tysis).

Since shotguns aren't secondaries I think this will answer itself. But if it doesn't, then I'll explain. We don't all want to use Shotguns as primaries. Plus you know, shotguns have damage falloff, Marelok doesn't.

Also if we just talk secondaries only -it also has overall better damage (and has higher base critical by 18%) than the Tysis (it's main competition as a status gun), making it the more versatile of the two despite Tysis having higher status. Vaykor at max modding can be made 100% just like the Tysis. Mine sits at 98.4% because I won't use Stunning Speed or Sure shot. Stunning speed puts it at 99%. Sure shot would push it to 100%.

The Vaykor Marelok is undeniably the best status secondary bar none. The Tysis might be easier to mod for high status, but it still isn't as good of a weapon.
