What the actual f**k. Useless? Do you ever know how critzone its calculated and how critical rate impact critzone performance? If you increase the exact same DPS on critical rate instead of flat damage, you indeed gain more damage, because youre critical headshots hits x4 damage instead of standard x2, that means that you are actually extending the DPS section that can benefit from this added x2 multiplier.

That alone can indeed justify to take critical chance mods even on weapons where you can teorically add more damage with elemental mods.

Its also important to note that if you arent adding more of the same mods that you are actually using for your elemental combo, you end up hurting your DPS if youre aiming at an specific faction, since youre diluting your chance to proc said status effect, and in case youre using a heavy crit weapon without 60/60 mods on it, like the soma prime, even when yes, a primed cryo rounds will add more on paper DPS, when corrosive damage hits +75% extra damage against armored units, that ended up being that using argon scope instead of primed cryo rounds shields more DPS agains that objective faction.

Take some time to learn how the math behind the "theorical DPS" works, since from paper to real world, DPS can vary A LOT, specially on non simulated enviroments.
