To start, t💜his weapon is uniqueജ in that it only deals Puncture damage. This makes it an ideal weapon against armored enemies. However, it reduces enemy damage output and increases critical damage taken by affected enemies.

The Gotva Prime also has a passive trait where, upꦉon inflicting a status effect, your next shot has a 15% chance of having a 300% Critical Chance. Randomly, you’re going to be hitting red crits, which massively increases your DPS. 

We’ll capitalize on all the weapon’s stre🥃ngths with this mod build:

  • Galvanized Aptitude
  • Galvanized Chamber
  • Vital Sense
  • Malignant Force
  • Primed Cryo Rounds
  • Radiated Reload
  • Hunter Munitions
  • Critical Delay
  • Exilus: Vigilante Supplies

Arcane: Primary Merciless

With this mod setup, you have greatly increased every strength of the Gotva Prime. With increased stats to criticals, the passive effect is going to deal𝕴 heavily increased damage to the point whꦡere you may one-shot enemies or deal massive damage to high-leveled enemies.

Pair that with the increased status effect chance and Hunter Munitions. At some point, your enemies will be covered with numbers and symb♎ols that eventually, the UI will get in the way. That’s okay because, most likely, they’ll be dead.

The elemental mods used here increase damage to armor and health. Radiation will help soften armor a🔯nd make enemies fight each other while Viral will make them prone to more damage.

As for the Arcane, Primary Merciless is the most versatile option. More kills means more damage outputꦰ. It’s used as a replacement for a typical damage mod like Serration or Heavy Caliber. 

If you like assault rifles in this game, you need to get Gotva Prime. It easily outclasses most other guns of this type and it it’ll start shining wit꧒h just two Formas.
