A simple post here but one you might easily miss for any and all Ongoing Directive Prototype builds. This is a must have for these builds and it helps massively for keeping hallow point ammo with no worries over status effects because we bake them in with augments. I run 3 Ongoing Directive builds often and this setup totally made these builds so much better, now even having a small magazine size is no issue.
The Minimum Recommended Augments:
- 1x Trapper Augment, increases status effect duration, starts at 5% levels up.
- 2x Amalgam Augment, every bullet has a % chance to apply a random status effect. Cooldown 5 seconds. Starts at 1.9% levels up. If you have only 1 Amalgam but leveled up decently it may be enough, I found two just always works well.
The Benefits:
- Never worry about status effects again, Amalgam applies often.
- No more worries over getting hallow points when you run out.
- Trapper helps you get the kills with longer duration.
- More damage due to both Augments.
- Freedom to shoot anything.
- Frees up a skill slot if you used one for status effects.
- My experiences see a ton of shock and burn effects happening.
- Use any weapon, most players use a LMG due to larger magazine but that’s not needed now.
My experience has been that Amalgam happens a bunch, but because we are using Ongoing Directive it’s required . Having two Amalgam augments will pretty much spam status effects with ease even if augment is low level. If you want to make this super potent go all in on Trapper for the rest of your Augments not including the three recommendations. Remember you can have 7 active Augments, 6 on gear pieces, 1 on the active weapon.
Ongoing Directive Mega Status Effect Setup:
- 5x Trapper Augment
- 2x Amalgam Augment
