Doing 2k+ crits and I swear I did 23k at one point but might be just my eyes playing tricks on me. Either way, after adding critical delay to it and using it as a burst fire rifle and aiming for heads, it does decent damage, but critical delay is now a must for that roughly 75% critical chance. It is still a decent weapon, and for some reason when I shoot something in the weakpoint it behaves in a weird way. For example: When shooting infested, I have noticed that when I shoot them in the head or boot or iunno...somewhere special, sometimes I hear a special sound effect and the icon for impact, puncture, or slash damage appears, usually the damage isn't a crit, but is in the 800s and over for damage. I have no clue what that is unless that just means that their head is weak to slash and the boot is weak to puncture or impact. I get random damage boosts all over the place so I haven't a clue what sort of build to expect for soma, at least the critical bit is still somewhat reliable.

The funny thing is that I needed a slot so I took of cryo rounds, but on the statistics list, it said cryo rounds was sitting at 45 cold damage, even though impact, puncture and slash were all lower than 45, sitting at less than 30, so perhaps elemental is the way to go for damage after 2.0. I have noticed that stacking elements seems decent on Lekta and Acrid. Take a look at my comments on those pages if you're interested.
