Actually even with corrosive this gun would still suck without raw damage to boost its slash proc output. Take the braton prime as a comparable rifle for example.

The braton prime can kill things in sorties if you don't mind waiting for its slash procs to stack and kill for you, which is more than most guns can boast. Braton prime gets more slash stacks than the flux rifle will, it has nearly twice the base damage to boost those slash procs, AND on the braton prime you don't have to sacrifice a mod slot while the flux rifle would lose a slot for this mod. Just about everything about the braton prime is better than the flux rifle and yet it still struggles against high level enemies

If the flux rifle did twice its current slash damage then it'd be a viable weapon. Can I make a joke about how the tenno version of the flux rifle is supposed to get stronger with the safeguards removed, not weaker? Is that joke too old now?
