^  literally every weapon can't be used for high level content, tardbot, unless you use Banshee on absolutely everything.

Go try an AkZani or Twin Vipers on a grineer sortie assassination, I dare you. And that's not even giving you the hard challenge... AkLato.

To be fair though, Flux Rifle probably about the same tier as the AkLato since the continuous weapon status nerf.

Here's the rub. To accurately calculate status per ammunition consumed for continuous weapons, take that "status/second" stat, divide it by four for damaging procs, or by the weapons' fire rate for debuffing/CCing procs.

Yes, continuous weapons universally have shit-tier status per shot and per second. Flux Overdrive? +150% to +250% puts the Flux Rifle at 62.5% to 87.5% status/second, meaning effectively 15.625% to 21.875% status/round for damage procs, or 6.25% to 8.75% for debuff/CC procs. That'd be good for damage procs... if it were the base status and/or was multiplicative with other status mods, but it doesn't/isn't.  It's straight trash-tier STILL for debuff or CC statuses.

Add into that the fact that it has a measly 22.5 damage/round on a basic-b*** 10 fire rate, and has only borderline crit-viability to make up for it, and you have a straight-trash tier weapon with precisely zero redeeming qualities.
