The Arca Plasmor is classified as a shotgun, but to be fair the primary weapon does feel like it’s own kind. Shooting out pulses of plasma instead of the normal shotgun pallets does bring some great advantages over other shotguns: Getting status procs is way more easy and you don’t need to build it for 100% status chance. Instead, you can simply rely on the core strength of the Arca Plasmor and use the high base damage and good critical chance in combination with radiation damage and a good accuracy. The critical multiplier isn’t all that great, but the high base damage does help out here. The magazine of ten shots is also very nice and will help you to blast away large groups of enemies without having to run around mid fight, waiting to finish the reload. Acquiring the Arca Plasmor is also pretty easy, because the blueprint is researched and sold in the Energy Lab in your dojo.
Pros
Radiation is also often paired with Toxin, which has very weak status proc, but provides invaluable bonus damage against Ferrite. Corrosive, on the other hand is great for dealing damage, both against Grineer, and against low tier tower enemies, but only if combined with Cold, as it gives bonus damage against Alloy Armor (and shields in the Void). The reason one will mod for radiation is to confuse the enemies using high status weapons/ i personally only use radiation when doing Grineer survivals as bombards and napalms start to come out a lot when the lvl's ramp up, they can be very problematic when not killed instantly and if you decide to use a high status weapon radiation is a very good proc as it gets the mobs that the radiated. Damage in Warframe is pretty complicated just like the rest of the game. The amount of damage you do to a given enemy depends on the type of physical damage you’re dealing, what kind of elemental mods you have equipped, if those combine into more powerful elements, and much more. Magnetic Damage is one of the six secondary elemental damage types, composed of Cold and Electricity elements. It is very effective at taking down Corpus Shields, but is heavily mitigated by the Alloy Armor worn by many higher-level Grineer units. Magnetic damage's status effect is Disrupt, which reduces the target's current shields and maximum shield capacity by 75% for 4 seconds.

Warframe What Does Radiation Damage
The different builds
As usual you should try to build around the strength of a weapon to maximize the damage output and to simply feel useful during missions. Of course there are some theoretical ideas you might want to consider – using will increase the weapon range by 40% and also deals with the damage falloff. And while will reduce the accuracy of your shots by a lot, putting in as much multishot as you can will counter these effects. And if you get very lucky (or find a seller), you can get yourself a Riven mod for the Arca Plasmor and increase your damage output by a lot. Don’t be afraid to invest some Platinum if you really like the Arca Plasmor, since a good Riven mod is super strong.

The Radiation Build
Since the Arca Plasmor already has innate radiation damage, increasing this by picking up some heat and electricity mods seems like the right idea. If you don’t have a you can just use the normal version. , and are boosting Radiation damage and status chance, while raises the already very good critical chance even further. The latter can even be changed for if you rather have even more Radiation damage.
If you don’t like the pure radiation damage (because it isn’t all that effective against some enemies), feel free to simply switch out and or for and . That way you split your proc damage between radiation and toxin, which will allow you to at least deal some amount of damage to enemies with radiation immunity.
The Critical Damage Build
This build looks somewhat similar to the radiation version, but uses , and in combination with to increase your critical damage as much as possible. and (or its normal version) are used to increase your radiation damage by a lot, but can be switched out for something like , or other status mods.
To be fair, is the weakest mod in this build and is mainly used because of it’s second ability. The extra fire rate is nice, but not necessary at all. Maybe you rather have instead.
Conclusion
Warframe How To Get Radiation Dmg In Windows 7
The innate radiation damage, the area-of-effect and the fact that the Arca Plasmor isn’t just your normal shotgun makes the weapon super strong. Yes, if you plan to fight in high level missions, bringing the Tigris Prime or the Vaykor Hek is still the better choice, but unless the enemies reach level 85+ you will quickly dissolve them in plasma. Especially the ten pulse shots in the magazine are very comfortable and counter the long reload time pretty well. So if you don’t already have an Arca Plasmor, go ahead and craft yourself one of those. It will be worth it!
