Warframe | Critical Mutation Is Bonkers

ah yes the cabalist an interesting L weapon indeed a secondary beam pistol with a bit of punch through that rips of the ammo sack and throws it out as a grenade whenever you reload it's also one of the very few weapons that doesn't Auto reload even if you press the fire button with an empty magazine because of this you can get the blueprint for it from the biolab in the dojo and the stats on it are a bit weird it does pure corrosive damage it has massive status chance and while the crit multiplier is great the crit chance not so much at least on the beam because the reload grenades actually crit rather well they hit really hard too though only if you're doing a full reload from an mty magazine because if you're doing a partial reload the damage is much lower the cabis has always been pretty solid it wasn't the best weapon in the world but it most certainly wasn't the worst thanks to the latest night wave though and its new augment called critical mutation um well let me just show you the augment plays around the reload mechanic whenever you get a kill with the beam you get 30% crit chance and crit damage and if you hit few fewer than three enemies with a Reload grenade you will lose 30% grid chance and damage and it Stacks up to 300% now this means two things one you only need to kill one or two enemies per magazine to sustain or stack it up and two you get more crit chance and damage than with prime target cracker and Prime pistol Gambit from a single mod this allows the catabol to do some absolutely ridiculous things such as this a rather unusual hybrid belt that get a ton of crit chance from critical mutation ridiculous amount of status a ton of fire rate and runs corrosive radiation viral and heat whilst taking base damage from gavanized shot and combining it with the raw damage from Cascadia empowered now if you're not familiar with Cascadia empowered it essentially makes your status brogs do up to 750 road damage so if you proc corrosive with a weapon you will also do 750 corrosive damage on top of it the Arcane is somewhat Niche but it can be downright stupid on high fire rate high status chance weapons like the caterist here's what that setup looks like against level 185 corrupted in steel path it's actually rather strange it doesn't feel like there is any ramp up on the damage at all despite us needing at least three kills for galvanized shot and 10 kills for critical mutation it actually feels worse when it's ramped up strangely enough because you end up doing so much damage it feels like the enemies are dying too fast I was constantly checking the console to make sure that these are in fact steelpath enemies and I'm not just butchering star chart once it's not all nice and Rosy though there is no real AOE on the beam I mean you have a bit of punch through but that's about it so you really only get AOE with the grenades which is why it's kind of good that you're going to be throwing out a lot of them I guess because High fire rate while fantabulous for DPS also makes it so that you chew through your magazine very quickly so you're going to be reloading a lot I should also point out that the damage you're seeing is with a to forged Emerald chart for three extra corrosive procs so I'm stripping away a lot of the enemy armor oh yeah and you're going to need ammo mutation like a lot of it now if you're not interested in the mech special you can do a more standard build instead something relatively basic like this will be just fine it's just a hybrid of viral and heat it's fairly flexible as well I run the most basic Arcane here secondary meriz but Cascadia flare is absolutely fantastic and you can even run secondary encumber if you want to alternatively you can swap expel grineer for Hornet strike and then run one of the funkier arcanes instead the damage is also really good here so you can easily blast your way through steel paath with this though it's not quite as insane as the first one it's not very far off though it's still a really good build now these two builds only scratch the surface of what's possible on this weapon which in my eyes is like the best thing about really strong weapons you can kind of do whatever you want in them and you're probably going to be fine want to try out electricity go right ahead want to use gas sure why not want to do a war crime setup that runs both why not this augment is a great example of why they don't want to give us more Mod Space on weapons because that's effectively what this augment does right it gives you three crit mods worth of crit in one and when you have a mode like that you can do so much more with the rest of the weapon now on one hand this might not be the best thing in the world because it trivializes a large portion of Steel path as well as everything else but on the other it's also a lot of fun to have a lot of viable builds that you can use but anyway this augment is dumb it makes the cut our bullets into an absolutely ridiculous secondary so I would highly recommend you try it out but anyway I thank you very much for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video and I would also like to extend a special thank you to all the channel members thank you very much guys I really appreciate your support it means a lot to me and I'll see you next time [Music] bye-bye
