Considering getting the prime receiver for the gauss shotgun but intimidated by the flux grind. Are they significantly/noticeably more effective against scorched such that that grind is worth it?
They're definitely worth considering if you run a lot of scorchbeast queen runs especially, just keep in mind it'll be a tad harder to craft ammo for it. Even though I have the ability to craft prime on all my guns, I mostly choose not to since I like having easily craftable and lootable ammo.
