Arch-Guns in Warframe are still not that popular. Most likely because of their limited usability but that doesn't mean they don't pack a punch.
Today we will have a close look at the Grattler, an automatic rocket cannon. The weapon features a twenty-five percent base critical and status chance with a two-point zero critical multiplier. The main feature of the weapon is the projectiles it fires. Fast traveling rockets that explode on contact and deal area of effect damage.
The weapon surprised me with how much damage it can do when going directly for ground-shots and just focusing on the AoE portion. Thanks to the good fire-rate even high level enemies fall in just a couple of second. The Arch-gun also features base blast damage alongside it's IPS values but in this case blast damage works well in applying crowd control to a group of enemies giving you the few seconds of breathing room that you might need to finish the job.
The Grattler does have a few issues thou. The explosions can damage your warframe so that may put some players off. There are ways to deal with such issues but it can be seen as an annoying hassle.
We also should keep in mind that the Grattler is an Arch-gun and that comes with some strict limitations in terms of usability. Finally, the weapon sports a punch-through of five meters which works against the projectile mechanics, being the main reason we should focus more on ground shots.
While I'm fully aware that this may not be the most "ideal" weapon I can't help but love it! It handles very well, does tons of AoE damage and looks subjectively cool while doing so. Riven mods are also cheap at the current time and we are looking of a Riven disposition of three out of fine. I'd recommend you give Grattler a try and build it, for the lols if not anything else.
