Interesting video! I love obliterate/explosive shrapnel build, because it works both shooting on weakspots and normal parts. My dps is higher with an obliterate build compared to a sustained souvenir shrapnel build, especially with buffs. My guess as to why your damage was inconsistent with the gas tight helmet; this helmet can only proc shrapnel once on 1 unhit body part, so its less likely that the shrapnel will hit the weakspot, whilst shrapnel can hit 2 body parts with the berret, making it way more consistent.
If you look at the formula for calculating shrapnel damage, everything is multiplicative against weapon dmg. So having weapon dmg on all mods is priority then crit damage, then magazine size. Great video 👍
The best Shrapnel mods are the Shrapnel, the attributes are shrapnel dmg, and shrapnel crit dmg. Super rare to drop though, I've used maybe 40+ controllers at Thirst monolith and still never got a single shrapnel mod with shrapnel attributes.
I've never gotten those. I'm on a pvp server tho maybe that's why. I've heard u can get those mods in prime war in pve server but I never seen those myself
you missed +20%dmg to marked enemies in your cradle. Next to "deadly combo" You don't need any axe shenanigans to for this. Weakspot DMG against bullseye works always. Tested.
Hi I have Wildfire, Bingo and crossbow. The crossbow is unfortunately BEST IN SLOT. Reason being it gives you a lot of Crit Rate, so you shrapnel way more often resulting in the biggest DPS increase. Wildfire gives u +Attack which is pretty good, but not as good as the crossbow and Bingo gives u +Weakspot damage which we are not stacking at all for this build and also +Attack which is ok. All and all Crossbow is the best sadly coz I find it annoying haha
@@G0DL1KE Oh yeah altho i am running the build that lets you not have to reload as much and i can get 500k-600k plus dmg in one clip (my build is not fully optimized tho)
I feel your pain brother I've farmed the EX1 silo boss 100s of times for a bomber mod for the mask in violent and still don't have one haha. RNG is a cruel mistress lol
Shrapnel Souvenir on the SOCR (Gold Scar) Weapon and Shrapnel Carnage on the mask. Make sure you ONLY hit bodyshots with that setup as you want the bullet to shrapnel to the head to give you ammo back.
hey, I couldn't get a perfect calibration like most people, so far I have a precision with dual crit damage, would that work? Or a Heavy calibration with dual crit chance, which would be a better option?
Both would work. You could craft 2 weapons and put the calibrations and test which one u would like more. Generally speaking, 2x crit chance would be better
@@AlhazerdVivi careful not to get scammed. If I were you just run Hard dungeons with controllers for the mods you need and u will also hopefully get weapons to deconstruct for a good calibration. Good luck my friend
It's either precision or fire rate. I explain it in the video I believe precision is better as rapid fire calibration gives u -attack which is -weapon dmg which means ur shrapnels are weaker so I personally prefer precision
I've seen people split on Explosive Shrapnel vs Shrapnel Carnage? Is the one big crit explosion better than the weak spot damage even if you're not stacking Weak spot damage? Every 20 shrapnel seems like a lot, when your shrapnel could be hitting weak spots, even without weak spot damage being stacked all over?
Shrapnel souvenir goes really well with shrapnel carnage. Explosive shrapnel is just nice extra burst for when you are using obliterate. With obliterate you actually want to be hitting weak spots to maximize dps. But if you hit weak spots you can't shrapnel the weakspots. The best in slot mod would actually be Targeted Strike if you are using the crossbow for bossing to mark.
It's not bad but lone wolf is better. If you purify cortex every week and u play in a good warband u can get tons of starcrom. That's how I am able to make 3-4 builds in 1 season and I even missed 1st week of purification so it's possible to get everything u want for 1 build man I believe in u!!! Hehe
Falcon is great for early on in the build but you should definitely be upgrading to lonewolf as you go. Very noticable improvement. then Bastille boots, then gas mask. The mods hands down are the highest increase however
Hard and Pro Difficulties, so you can target farm mods. Alternatively you can run boxes solo to try and get some basic mods to get you started... Not ideal, but you can do that for a bit, so you can have a basic build going so you can solo harder content and not rely on others. I have a video on the channel for that here you go: th-cam.com/video/RAlKPh8JjfA/w-d-xo.html
Each mod can have a suffix. There are 3 general suffixes that all mods can have - violent (crit related), precision (weakspot related) and talents (elemental related) - and a large amount of build specific suffixes which can only be on mods related to that build, like shrapnel, burn, fortress warfare etc. Those suffixed do two things: 1. The first of the 4 additional stats of the mod is always filled by a fixed modifier related to the suffix, like crit damage, weakspot damage, shrapnel damage, burn damage etc. (To my current knowledge it is always the same one. Not 100% sure if it is fixed or can be different, but it is always from the suffix mod pool) 2. There are additional possible bonus stats added to the pool of possible bonus stats for the other 3 bonus stat slots. So you can still get bonus stats from the base pool in the other three slots, but they can also be from the suffix bonus stat pool. And those additional bonus stats contain some of the most powerful boni in the game.@@Melvz_Fantasy
okay so i finally max my build and understood all about it...what happens when you run out of controllers...and opening all the high level crates? is there other ways to farm in the game that helps with permanent resources
Without ANY buffs the SCAR is sitting at 36.4% Crit Rate and 117% Crit DMG. With 10 stacks Lone Wolf we are at 222% Crit DMG. With Crossbow we are at like 60+% Crit Rate
You need either beret or the fire helmet my friend so u shrapnel to more parts and do way more dps. Also 4 piece lone wolf is really good. But u can try and let me know
@@G0DL1KE that's the thing, i can't try it XD don't have enough starchrom atm I thought maybe you guys have tested it out. 4pcs lonewolf seems like a real waste imo. 2seconds of increased crit rate doesn't seem all that good compared to maybe 3pcs lonewolf and 2pcs falcon and the beret but 3pcs falcon also looks really good. just don't have the items to test it out myself.
Make sure ur cradle is the same, too. Also, I try to have weapon damage as an attribute in the mods that will help u and of course all mods have to be violent.
Yeah RNG can be tough my friend. There is no way to target farm it... You gotta get lucky OR you can check maybe some players on your server are selling it and you can buy it from them :)
@@G0DL1KE can u tell me how to find those people like should I type in world chat or something else? I can trade with acid or stardust or anything it's okay with me
Yes I wanted to show both because in the video I say I will show u 2 ways of playing. On Treant I use obliterate violent with shrapnel mod on mask that gives u 20th big hit and on silo ex1 boss I use shrapnel souvenir on the gun with shrapnel carnage on the mask. I'm showing both playstyles so u guys can choose what to pick. Obliterate gives u big burst dmg and souvenir makes it so u don't reload. Thanks for the comment
@@G0DL1KE what exacly best build for sharpnel anyways? Many vid say big crit dmg but i hve try it on my build im prefer use weakspot on gloves and sub-stat crit dmg😅 im new on sharpnel that why wana find best build.. Anyway nc video
I do WAY more damage than this by not using shrapnel souvenir. Im hitting 10 -12k crits vs your 1.6k. Only downside is that I have to reload every 55 bullets. I can live with having to reload for 2 seconds every 55 bullets and doing WAY more damage.
there is alot of bad info here on youtube i see. and also when making videos, dont move ur mouse cursor like a crazy man :P but never use the explosive sharpnel, use the weight one. i get to about 110k dps on dummys. and most of my mods give + to elites/great once.
Woah. Sorry you feel that way man. I try to be as accurate as I can. Could you point out the "bad info" in my video, so I can try and do better next time? The weight one is good as it makes shrapnel go to the head ( weakspot ) more which is good when you use shrapnel souvenir which is what I stated in the video. However for the BURST damage shrapnel way I would say it goes well with obliterate. If you want the best possible mod and you use the crossbow for bossing it would actually be Targeted Strike as it gives u a lot of Crit Rate and Crit Damage if you are shooting a marked target. However the crossbow annoys me. All of this is covered in the video by the way... Thanks for commenting.

@@sonnychiba5270 They are nerfing the Crossbow in today's patch actually. from 30% Crit Rate to 15%. I guess it will still be best tho...
@G0DL1KE I saw that, yikes that's a pretty rough nerf
Honestly i like the gas tight alot and ive been leaning towards a crit heavy no reload build for my shrapnel
Yeah that's awesome man! Let me know how it goes! Does it do more dmg for u?
@@G0DL1KE Oh yeah altho i am running the build that lets you not have to reload as much and i can get 500k-600k plus dmg in one clip (my build is not fully optimized tho)
i have the same build, and when i use 2 lonewolrf + 3 bastille, if i crouch, i do more damage
Yes, but then you have to sit crouched and not move. I find that extremely annoying as u can't dodge stuff. But if you like it, that's awesome haha
I noticed your cradle was the old stuff, this still work good on season 2 with all the changes?
New updated builds coming for hard server. Just have been needing time to farm everything up and waiting on server phases haha
in vulnerability amplifier, is precision required or i can use violent?
Since you are just using it only for the sake of the mod so you can get 16% multiplicative vulnerability damage. It can be anything in this case.
Ive farmed the boss for Shrapnel Carnage over 40 times with no luck. I hate that boss. I need therapy now.
