Why do we use?

Purgator creates gas clouds on kill with direct projectiles. Enemies killed by dots will spawn clouds that deal no damage

RUN JUST SHIVERING CONTAGION ON A COMPAION / PRIME MAG + VIRAL

Crux -- Used for its ammo efficency more than its status chance. This thing WILL run out of ammo otherwise.

PCR / Contagion -- 165% Cold dmg with a primed mod. Contagion spreads cold (applied by primary weapons) to freeze enemies and keep them frozen in gas clouds. Cold at 10x stacks also gives a flat 1x crit multi per crit tier useful for raw crit damage.

MF + Stormbringer -- 180% elemental damage, makes corrosive for partial stripping

Cannonade -- Default base damage and significant boost to innate punch through.

• Cannonade disables any modded fire rate bonuses, including negatives, allowing us to abuse mods with negative fire rate and bypass a -56% total fire rate loss

Scope + Crit Delay + VS — Galvanized crit for raw crit scaling and potential red crits. Cold will freeze crowds preventing impact stagger making headshots effortless.

• Cold itself will grant 0.1x~1.0x flat crit damage for every crit tier, only helping our cause.

• We can default to Crit Delay as it has zero consequense with Cannonade

• Headshots WILL increase AoE damage of toxin clouds, very beneficial to go for.

Vile Precision -- Eliminates recoil with a harmless negative.
