Holy shit. My synapse is not even fully modded, and  not even Formad yet(It's been a slow process with leveling it), but when you add infected clip, the corrosive damage absolutely KICK ASS. Of course you must also have a crit build. So essentially, the absolute essentials Point Strike and Vital Sense(duh), Hammer Shot(if you have it), Split chamber(duh once again), serration(no brainer) and then infected clip. This will give you nice corrosion damage, useful against ALL factions(Trust me I tested it. Heavy Gunners went down like light infested, and the only units you'll have trouble with are "light grineer" such as the machete dudes and sometimes the shotgun wielding ones). Ancients are a joke, and so are Corpus. With the last 2 slots, do what you want. I'd add Heavy Caliber or faction damage if you want, but you probably won't need it with this build. You could add an elemental, but the only one I'd suggest adding is Stormbringer because adding Hellfire or Cryo Rounds will force Infected Clip to merge with one of those, leaving you with either Viral or Gas(not bad, but not as good as COrrosion) and electric. So I'd suggest adding Heavy Caliber and either Stormbringer, Rifle Ammo Mutation(you won't need it though because you'll be killing things with a few "bullets"), or a faction mod. This has been kicking ass so far, and I don't even have split chamber on it yet, nor heavy caliber. The only faction I didn't test it on however is Corrupted, though I think it should work just as well on them. For now, and due to the slight nerf on Soma, this seems like a far better weapon than Soma and one of the best in the game. Anyway, sorry for this long page of test and hope this helps.
