Fragment Cannon Engineering and Experimental Effect?
Want to give fragment cannons C2 gimbal a try. What do people recommend for engineering and experimental effects?

Double shot and screening shell is one of the best options for quickly killing targets. And tons of fun. But you are not going to be out long in a CZ/RES with that, you burn through ammo quickly.

If you are facing shield heavy enemies you might make one or more of them have incendary rounds. And of course, corrosive is always an option since it saves you ammo, 30% ammo saving once you are hitting hull. So corrosive is a nice option if you are more interested in staying out longer without the need to rearm (but there again, if you stock up on synthesis materials then that is a less of a concern).

If you are wanting to stay out longer you can also consider high capacity. It slightly increases rate of fire, but there is a cost in mass and power draw, not something you want on a Vulture for example.

Overcharged is a decent option as well. You get 70% damage increase at G5, which makes it almost as good as double shot (which is an effective 100% increase).

Overcharged, Screening shell is good too.

Double shot is the best DPS, but bad if you want long endurance in the field, ultimately frag cannons already fire quite fast so I've never been truly convinced of the worth of the mod, some swear by it though.

High Capacity Magazine and Screening shell is very good as well.

Having at least one corrosive option (Make it a Frag cannon if you have to) Is ideal as well. My chieftain uses the forward most Frag as a Corrosive, and the rear is on Screening shell.

If you like frags, pledge to Space Trump and get the Pacifier. Narrow Spread plus much higher shot velocity makes it deadly as deadly gets within 1k range.

I was thinking of High Capacity too to endure in RES.

What does Effectiveness Increase Against Munitions mean?

It means if you fire them into incomming munitions it will destroy them.

OK, thanks.
PvP or PVE?

For PvP check my channel its 90% frag fas PvP 1 v 1 fights.

My engineering is all G5 overcharged with additional damage on 2 large, dazzle and corrosive on the mediums.

FYI this guy is a piece of ♥♥♥♥ psycho that will blow you up in a RES for no reason. I got away from his ♥♥♥♥♥ ass the other day but just barely. This dude is a piece of trash but I will admit his frag cannon build is OP AF.

LOL :steamsalty: But yeah Frags are great for bursting unsuspecting targets. I prefer double shot for this tho, one reason being the drawbacks of overcharged would have a significant impact on my specific build. But OP in general? I would not consider frags being OP.

Overcharged G5, screening shell for ganks, any other effects for proper pvp 1 v 1.

Some examples:
