Specifically, I mean like what you typically will slap on without thinking too hard for leveling or trying out. Without potato, I’ll do Serration+viral 60/60 mods if it has any kind of status, or Serration+crit if it has any reasonable crit. If it has neither…well viral it is anyway.
Melee weapons I at least have the room to usually add an attack speed mod and that’s about it.
What do you usually gravitate towards on a “leveling” build?
Damage, multishot and crit mods if the weapon is crit based or Galv status mod and Heat 60/60.
I main Volt with Nourish, so the weapon will have Viral and double CD buff, which makes even junk without mods be able to handle a few rounds of low level SP Survival as I level them.
Alternatively, if the weapon is so bad even this won’t work, I’ll slap it on Styanax and go ESO. Styanax does limited area nuke but more importantly provides insane energy regen if you have Nourish on him, which enables my team to nuke ESO more often and in turn level up my trash weapon faster.
