I found a new favorite gun in Warframe, the Drakgoon. It's basically Unreal's Flak Cannon. It has 2 firing modes. The primary mode fires a wide spread of hot shrapnel. This is the firing mode I use 99% of the time. The other firing mode is a charged shot which instead fires a much tighter spread of shrapnel, making the gun more effective at medium range. I increased the damage, via mods, so much that even a medium range the wide spread still does devastating damage and I used an Orokin Catalyst to double the mod capacity of the gun because I like it so much. This baby OBLITERATES swarms of enemies very quickly and has a very good firing rate. About the only negative is the slow reload speed, something I somewhat compensated for via mods. This goes against my standard modding philosophy of accentuating a weapon's strength rather than trying to mitigate its weaknesses (because mods are percentage based, hence a 10% increase on a small number is much smaller than a 10% increase on a large number). With the Orokin Catalyst doubling mod capacity, however, I had room to address the weakness of slow reloads a bit while still amplifying the already terrifying damage output and status effect chance (I'm at 64% status effect chance, that's insane! ).
