Flux Rifle yay or nay?

[McDonald's]

I have a riven for the Flux Rifile so I’m wondering if I should waste my time re rolling it, I should take my plus status and crit chance, or try to sell it for some plat?

Mr fodder, beam weapons aren't that good in general

Well, personally, I did get a reasonably good riven for it as one of my earliest riven mods when they were first released, but it still wasn't anthing spectacular. Not powerful enough to rely on even on earliest Sortie missions (still kills things, just way too slow). Convectrix, which is a similar beam but with more Dead Space flavor, on the other hand, can at least be made usable on first two stages of Sortie with a similar Riven mod, so if you get that one - sure, go ahead.

With the exception of Ignis/Ignis Wraith. But yes I agree. Some of the worst weapons in the game are beam weapons, and Flux Rifle is one of em. If you REALLY like the weapon though, you can still build so you can use it consistently. Just don’t expect good results.

sadly "nay" i like the weapon, but even with a rather good riven in it, it's very underwhelming in it's usefullness... (ok, it can kill even high-lvl stuff, but in the same time most other weapons can kill 4-times++ the amount)

Synoid Gammacor is still pretty good. I'm sure it's not nearly as powerful as it was prior to its old nerf, but it doesn't have a 1/5 Riven disposition for nothing.

Sell it for plat as a meme

BEam eapons are good. The quanta vandal, ignis/wrairh, amprex, and synapse are all great weapons. They are just terrible for status procs due to how status per second works.
