With the weapon's 2 natural slots you are able to fit:

1) Max Serration 14>7

2) Max Multishot 15 >8

3) Max Vital Sense 9

4) Max Point Strike 9

5) Max Hammershot  9

6) Armor Penetration 9

- - - OPTIONAL - - -

7) Max Speed trigger OR Cryo Rounds 9*


 * Which means that you have one more MOD Card slot but all 7 of those mods will come to a perfect 0 for remaining space, anything else will require Forma. Speed Trigger is also optional so it can be swapped with anything that costs 9 MOD slots, I personally don't see why you'd need it seeing as this weapon is very good with burst fire and well aimed shots, holding down the trigger is only for when you have mow down a group quickly or when you have a Heavy class enemy or boss to kill, but it causes you to lose ammo quickly which isn't good in the long run. Basically, do you want more damage per bullet or per second, if you go with burst fire most of the time then it might be better to swap out with Cryo which eats shields, slows the enemy down which makes aiming for the head easier, and does extra damage per bullet.

8) Your Choice (Forma Required)

If you really, really want Shred on here, it will cost you 11 mod slots, which means you're going to need 3 forma, same thing if you like fire damage for some reason and want to use Hellfire + Wildfire instead of Cryo Rounds.

Rifle Ammo Mutation only costs 7 MOD slots, and would go well with Shred if you don't want to use Speed Trigger for some reason (7+11 is the same thing as 9+9).

Reload speed isn't a big deal, for me anyway, and I don't think zoom is useful since this gun is super accurate, you can snipe with it across the map even if the enemies are blurry from being too far away, just keep an eye out for movement. I never liked Electric Damage, unlike Ice which eats shields or fire which is useful for infested and makes enemies go on fire and panic and stun them every once in a while, electricity just stuns and it isn't very reliable unless you like corpus. You can use the banes to increase your overall damage or you can use the brand spanking new silencing mod for silent Soma. You can use Stun if you want or magazine mods, whatever you wish.

Just some examples of other combinations you can use, why don't you guys tell me your opinions on which mods you want to use for slots #7 and #8?
