Remember When this gun came out. And it could reach damage cap. Because it used to double the damage on each pulse of the reload. So max fire rate and and Max magizine, you quickly reached millions of damage when you reloaded

The Basmu is a fun weapon mechanically, but my biggest complaint with it is the fact that its unique reload has anti-synergy with both Reload Speed and Mobility... In case anyone doesn't know, the "reload" from empty does 3 radial pulses that deal 10 True damage (affected by Base damage or Faction Damage mods only) and heal you for 10× the damage dealt (100 per pulse per enemy at base). The problem is that increasing your reload speed by even as little as 15% is enough to remove the third pulse, as they trigger at set times. It *also* stops the pulses early if you do things such as jump or bullet jump. So while the pulses aren't gonna be doing a lot of damage anyway at high levels, you miss out on a THIRD of its unique healing effect by equipping Merciless or potentially more if you jump at all while reloading.

It's my favorite rifle since Scarlet Spear, there's just something special about it thats so satisfying. Lot of love for basmu

I love these videos revisiting older weapons, so much fun to watch them get updated builds

I loved it for its giggle CC reload, purposefully slowing reload for the effect.

For weapons with multiplicative gunCO, it's actually not a bad idea to stack base damage with serration and an arcane because every point of damage you add is multiplied. I'd personally take off scope in place of serration and outsource the faction damage with roar so you can replace it with critical delay. Good stuff

Huh, that looks like good fun, will have to faff around with the Basmu eventually, thanks for the helpful video MC!

adding corrosive via lavos' valence formation makes it much more fun

NO YOU SHARED MY SECRET! (Basmu goes hard) Had basmu been a human it'd be in prison for many many things

Hello there, people of the internet

Basmu was my first riven. I'd never heard of it, so looked it up, decided to buy it off market, and have really enjoyed it. It easily got me through star chart. It's also an excellent primer with its secondary fire, as you can get 3-4 different statuses on it and it applies them very quickly.

There’s a way to never have to reload the Basmu ever but it does require a bit of trigger discipline (only works for primary fire). Basmu got a fairly high fire rate for a 21 mag rifle but it got a very quick ammo recharge if you don’t empty the mag, so the play is (and it requires a little bit of muscle memory) to fire the primary fire till you reach 10-5 mag then let it recharge and in a fraction of a second it’d be full again and then you repeat (basically fire and never empty the magazine).

Hello, could you do a video on the Pyrana Prime please? Or the Hirudo with the new melee arcanes and whatnot, it's easily one of my favorite weapons next to tatsu prime.

Basmu became my favourite weapon 2 months ago, got a +cd, +dmg, -dmg to grineer riven, using that sentinel mod that gives you 1.2x crit multiplier, the secondary fire of basmu goes up to 20x crit. I'm using Sevagoth (my favourite frame) with shadow haze augment, with all the conditionals it adds flat 200+ crit chance and 200% dmg bonus on enemies, everything in fron of me just disappears.

This has been my go to since day one!

Really fun with a gas, electric, humu build if you run a frame that can armor strip and group.

Accurcacy on hit for basmu is actually really good cos the spread is a bit all over the place, if you run crit with scope. I hate scope so I just got myself 200% crit chance riven with added magazine capacity, and I use hu-mu for those added slash procs. They both melt enemies as well as contribute another status for galvanized aptitude, which is indeed multiplicative for both dire hits and explosions, and also for the beam.

I would love to see videos on the login milestone weapons(especially Zenith!!)

My build for it swaps out Scope and the Faction mod for Radiated Reload and Amalgam Serration- yes I use that, I like the additional movement speed- and it kinda both kills the ramp problem dead and pumps the damage a surprising amount cause it means the thing can set five statuses instead of four, which pumps an additional 80% damage out of the deal. 15% critical chance is actually fine with how high this thing's fire rate is, cause the slash procs are really just here as a damage buff.

Basmu is one of my favourite guns, I'm running an absolutely standard build for any hybrid weapon but i do have a nice riven for Multi + crit damage. One of if not THE BEST Harrow gun, super high Crit damage and fully automatic infinite ammo. I don't even play harrow but i still love the gun

Could get some corrosive from using Inaros 4 too, which would apply your emeralds. Not sure if they'd have to be the last 4 stacks to get full strip or not tho.

"I am feeling extraordinarily spicy today.." He says standing in front of giant bazonkas

With that last build you could try Crit Delay instead of Scope against the higher level stuff. You were often running low on Scope stacks since your slash and heat procs were "stealing" headshot kills from you. (Gas and electric DoT kills can register as headshot kills, but slash, heat, and toxin DoT can't.) Scope did better than I thought I would, but Crit Delay is worth a try anyway. Also Basmu gets plenty of status application without Hammer so I'd probably also replace it with Vital.

Yknow, Agrit is a new weapon but people really sleep on it. Id love to see you show off its power! Rare op throwing weapon

I was wondering if you could do a video on the Veldt, a semi auto primary rifle with variable zoom, the stats on it are pretty solid and I'm hoping that DE gives it a Prime eventually, I'm sure it can be usable with the correct modding

I mod mine for the reload, so max fire rate to have constant pulses, along with base damage to boost the pulses. Not the hardest-hitting use of the weapon, but it kinda becomes a gun variant of Hirudo in terms of self-heal potential.

I use it on Nezha in combination with an Adarza Kavat and Arcane Avenger, even have a Riven for one-slot viral.

This thing wants to be as cool as the convetrix. With a viral/heat build it puts over 200 heat and slash procs out almost instantly. It does steel path easily. AND its a high dispo with really cheap rivens because no one uses it.

Basmu is one of my fav weapons of all time, I just always have trouble modding it because it is a really complex one to figure out. Once you get it feeling right though it rips

Y'know, if you run Lavos with Valence Fusion, the ramp up is fixed AND you can force proc whatever you want ;) A single mag can proc heat or electricity up to 80-90 times with Valence Fusion

I remember when this was first released and was bugged to have mods apply multiple times on the reload pulses. You could put Tainted Mag on it for a 4th pulse and do millions of true damage. If your build was good enough, you could get slapped by the anti-cheat system.

Try mag size makes it so much better imo

Man, I totally forgot that the secondary fire even was a thing.

my basmu with rad/, corrosive cold, the arcane with cold procs,and a crit chance/damagr riven kills, especially with high fire rate

wow just as i got some interest in basmu i see this

Try crit setup for the secondary fire with Harrow.

@MCGamerCZ kindly tell me which resolution and Fov you are running... Your Game looks absolutely amazing !!!! I might be missing something with my setup

Love the Basmu so much. My riven i rolled has 193% damage, 155% crit chance, 144% crit damage. 3 mods in one, makes it so easy to run hybrid and let's me try out some funky builds without sacrificing really anything

Where would you slot a riven in this build? replace bane mod? Or something else? (don't remember the stats of my basmu riven off the top of my head. Will look them up and edit this comment) EDIT: So the stats on my Riven are: +Crit Dmg, +Reload speed, +Dmg to Infested (so, possibly replace Hammer shot/vital sense?) Will probably re-roll the riven at some point... need to farm a bunch of Kuva before i do, tho XD

Unironically best tool in the game uncontested. Mind you I said tool not gun.

imagine a collab between harrow and harrold. that'd be very dope

I knew basmu had more to it, I've kept it for years begging for something

What I like to do with Basmu is put it on a Duality Equinox and mod it for corrosive. What I do is summon my Duality specter and while she's shooting dudes with the primary fire I prime them up with the Secondary fire to strip their armor. Seriously, when modded for Corrosive and with two Green Archons that secondary fire can strip armor STUPID fast. I suggest playing around with the elements some more, since the Primary deals both Electric and Heat means you can get some weird stuff going on. Also, a controversial opinion, I like to use Irradiating Reload since the reload time is a bit long for my taste in comparison to the magazine size and mechanic it has. Sure, having reload speed on it reduces the healing pulses, but honestly imho they aren't worth it. And yes, I can just have good trigger discipline, but that's not always reliable in a mission.

damn I looked at it and i want to try a corrosive gas build now

Is this weapon still bugged with railjack crew? I remember they would stop shooting for 30 seconds roughly on reload or just stop shooting entirely..

i like the basmu a lot it was my fav weapon on release but i dont use it that often but anyways what i wanted to say is, Sometimes, i guess i get the feeling that the reload impuls kinda "debuff" BUT THAT is only a feeling i get if i play the basmu

Ah yes the best Wuclone weapon

The Twin Kuva Rogga could be fun :)

You want ore crit on low crit chance weapons. Someone get this man an arcane avenger arcane.

when i use it i dont fully deplete the ammo cus its relaods faster that way but damn it works well

Basmu!

Found a Basmu riven in my inventory a while ago and lucked into a double crit with no negative roll early. Basmu has been an absolute monster ever since lol Im curious what youd do with a Shedu though.

one night I woke up from by bed sweating, with one task at hand make the basmu good, 5 forma and 2 maxed bane mods later I think I achieved it

What can you do with the Komorex though?

✨Busmu ✨the worse acceltra that’s weird and somehow you made it fun c:

I love mine with Gyre

mr youtube man i am still begging you to make a video on the tenet detron with thermagnetic shells+saryn's toxic lash

Can you make the spira prime work?

I got a riven for this what should i roll

this tenno is already dead, he just doesnt know it! 3:17

Wait, you can move polarity slots??? Did I see that correctly?

DOT'S you say? Tell me more...

I stopped using Basmu long ago because it really isn't that great anymore (not that it was to begin with) and the hype around it at launch was not justified because all it was (and still is) is just a faster firing Shedu which also funnily enough was weak and even with galvanized mods they don't save the gun especially since galvanized aptitude doesn't work since this gun is classed as an explosive weapon

Nooooo! MCGamer has fallen to the faction mods! 😭

"...You kinda have to go for headshots..." "...The ramp up is absolutely atrocious..." >doesn't use deadhead Gee, I wonder why.

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR 9 FUCKING YEARS AND I JUST FOUND OUT YOU CAN SWAP POLARITY POSITIONS?????? I'VE BEEN RE-FORMAING DUE TO ELEMENTAL COMBO CONFLICTIONS

change racist prime mod for more status... somehow more status = more damage on this weapon. Is an amazing 'rifle' sadly outclassed by several other guns, specially incarnon torids and angstrum but hey, the hound gave me several ideas

3:14 5:06

Wow im early

The MIGHTY SEER does all its damage in an instant

Does archon vitality doubles the DOT of heat here?

Basmu is my favourite gun! Idk what it is, maybe it's just the feel and not having to reload
