With the introduction of Gauss we got two new interesting weapons. The primary version is the Acceltra, a mastery rank eight automatic rifle that fires explosive projectiles which arm after seven meters worth of flight time.
The weapon presents a sky-high base critical chance of thirty-two percent and a fantastic critical multi of two-point eight. The main drawback is the low base status chance of only six percent. This would be a larger issue on secondary weapons but for primary weapons, we have Hunter Munitions which adds a lot of viability to a crit focused weapon.
The explosions that the Acceltra generates have a guaranteed push-away effect which will make it more difficult to get consistent head-shots. These explosions do more damage than the projectile physically hitting the target but not enough to justify full-on ground shots. The Acceltra shines when you can get your target damaged by both the projectile and explosion.
That said, the build for the Acceltra becomes rather straight forward and I would recommend you pair Hunter Munitions with a bit of viral damage with one ninety mod and one sixty-sixty mod for consistent viral applications.
It should also be said that the ammo efficient is atrocious on it and Carrier is basically a must for any high-level content. You can also use an ammo mutation but that's not ideal from my point of view. Ammo pads are also a thing.
Overall I find the Acceltra to be a powerful yet fussy weapon that can deal with most content that Warframe has to offer. It's up to the individual player to decided if her attributes are worth putting up with all the hassle. From my point of view, it's totally worth it and I recommend the weapon!
