I will add that while the warframe-builder website is very good, I don't think it accounts for status procs. These are of course my own personal guidelines and I'm sure many will offer alternate opinions. Leftover slots would go to 'quality of life' mods (fire rate, recoil reduction, bane of XXX, etc.). Use Point Strike and Vital Sense and the dual elemental-damage/status mods and Hammer Shotįailing all of the above checks, the weapon is pure IPS damage (e.g., Karak), so use the 90% elemental mods, Heavy Caliber, and one of the IPS damage boosters if the weapon's damage come primarily from just one of the three IPS types. Hybrid weapons (both crit and status chance are close the above - e.g., Grakata or Zhuge). Use the dual elemental-damage/status mods and Hammer Shot

Status weapons (again, my personal rule is both status chance >=20% and high fire rate).

Max Point Strike & Vital Sense and use the 90% elemental damage mods and Hammer Shot. You probably already know this, but generally you'll want to mod for what the weapon is good at:ĭamage increase and multishot are always there (e.g., Serration and Split-Chamber for rifles)Ĭrit weapons (my personal rule of thumb is if crit chance >= 25%, it's a crit weapon - e.g., Dread).
