Warframe: The Toxic Ricochet – Best Dual Toxocyst Build

Acquisition

The blueprint for the Dual Toxocyst can be researched from the Bio Lab in the dojo. That means you need to be part of a clan and have access to a dojo to get this weapon.

Incarnon Genesis

This build will make heavy use of the Incarnon form of the Dual Toxocyst. To get the Incarnon Genesis for this weapon you need to first complete The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman quest. You must also unlock the Steel Path difficulty. 

Once complete, you can earn the Dual Toxocyst Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit’s Steel Path rewards when it’s in rotation.

Stats

Boasting a very high-Status Chance and great ammo efficiency, the Dual Toxocyst is a powerful sidearm that becomes first-in-class in its Incarnon form.

Normal

 Incarnon

Unique Trait

Successfully getting headshots with this weapon grants it an increased fire rate, additional Toxin damage, reduced recoil, and infinite ammo.

The Toxic Ricochet – Best Dual Toxocyst Build

This build will focus on transforming our Dual Toxocyst to its Incarnon Form as fast as possible and destroying mobs of enemies with its ricochet mechanic. This build will clear groups of enemies in seconds. Even on Steel Path.

Mods

The mods for this build are as follows:

• Primed Pistol Gambit: While the critical stats for this sidearm isn’t the best, they do get somewhat better in its incarnon Form. And with how many bullets we’re firing it won’t matter. Grab this to increase your crit chance.
• Primed Target Cracker: Same reason as Primed Pistol Gambit, grab this to get stronger crits.
• Galvanized Crosshairs: This will help boost your crits as well, although it’s not as important as Pistol Gambit and Target Cracker.
• Galvanized Diffusion: We want tons of multishot with this build because multishot increases the amount of bullets being ricocheted. No mod does this better than Galvanized Diffusion.
• Lethal Torrent: Just like Galvanized Diffusion, we grab this mod to increase our multishot. The added fire rate is a nice bonus to help make up for the base Dual Toxicyst’s abysmal fire rate.
• Galvanized Shot: Not only will this mod increase this weapon’s already impressive Status Chance, it will also boost its damage significantly due to its added effect of adding more damage per status effect on the target.
• Convulsion: When activating the unique trait of this weapon the Toxin damage and Electricity damage will combine to give you Corrosive. This saves us a slot while also being able to shred armor.
• Expel: The last slot can be for anything else you think you might need for this gun. I prefer an Expel mod for whatever faction I’m fighting, but it can be swapped out for utility mods if it feels like overkill.

Alternative Mods

• Seeker: Seeker is a great mod for this weapon since added Punch Through will increase the amount of ricochets that go off.
• Steady Hands: This mod will completely negate the recoil when the buff from the unique trait is active. Put this on if the recoil is getting the better of you.
• Merciless Gunfight: Bonus crit damage and bonus Punch Through. Two things that benefit this build.

Arcanes

• Secondary Deadhead: You’ll be getting headshots with this weapon anyway, so Secondary Deadhead will provide a pretty decent damage buff.
• Secondary Fortifier: This arcane lets you gain overguard by damaging enemy overguard. The Dual Toxocyst is excellent for this arcane since you can hit groups of enemies at once, meaning you can gain overguard really quickly. Grab this arcane if you need a little more survivability.

Incarnon Evolutions

Evolution II 

Choose Fevered Frenzy for this evolution. The increased base damage will be nice, and the building multishot will also be helpful.

Evolution III

Marksman’s Hand will lower the recoil of the weapon and negate the recoil from the weapon buff. This can free up your Exilus mod slot if you choose to slot in Steady Hands.

Evolution IV

Commodore’s Fortune increases our base Critical Chance by 20% which is a huge boost. Really nice and fits well with our build.
