The main reason this weapons is good isn't because of the rate of applying status, OR the damage, both of which fail against the likes of the Mara Detron or Zakti.

No, the reason to use this one is because you can fire two shots of primary and the rest of secondary and have five or six statuses on target near instantly, as opposed to Zakti that can't pass four or five, or Mara detron with three or four. Also the QoL for this is about the same or higher than the Mara Detron, while the Zakti's is pretty horrible between epic recoil and microminiature clip size to balance out its insane status/AoE damage/melee synergy combo.

This is a great weapon for Condition Overload synergy, one of the best alongside Rattleguts/Lovetap/X, and the damage output and QoL are both pretty darn good for that type of weapon. Where it falls off is versus heavy grineer where you NEED 100% armor reduction from Corrosive Projection stacking, or Corrosive Mara Detron spam. This does apply a lot of status, but it just doesn't stack corrosive nearly as fast as the detron, or the Zakti while enemies are clustered up. Vortex + Zakti = everything just dies period. Vortex + this, not so much.
