since it does viral damage by default, it means you can go for something like viral + gas against corpus and infested, while going viral + corrosive against grineer.

in case of viral + corrosive, i don't like putting blast, but instead adding a mod to boost the corrosive dmg a bit higher (remember that viral only needs to proc once to do the job) and adding cold for easier headshots, rather than adding blast. combine all this with Shred for extra fire rate and punch through for better crowd clearing capabilities and this thing can really pack some punch.

if your clan has it researched, make sure to get it and it will do you some good.

the only downside is that it's a burst rifle, which means you have to get used to its rhythm to maximize its fire rate, since rapidly spamming your left mouse button will only end up slowing it down as it wont register.
