The reloading time is also on the slower side, and in a fast pace game, it can pose a severe challenge to the player. However, these smaller issues can be taken care of using the Vaykor Hek Builds and experimenting with some mods.

How to acquire Vaykor Hek?

Acquiring Vaykor He is a bit trickier. First of all, you must have a Mastery Rank of 12, then only you can acquire it either by trading or through the Syndicates.

Once you reach the Rank of General with Steel Meridian, you can spend 125000 Syndicates to purchase it.

You can also acquire it through trade but only the unranked copies without Oorkin catalyst and forma.

Top Vaykor Hek Builds in Warframe

Vaykor Hek cannot make use of Scattered Justice, unlike Hek. It has got a very high Critical Chance. Therefore, it can merely employ a mod for a larger magazine and a higher fire rate to get extra Multi shots.

If you still want an additional mod for Multi shots, you can choose Hell’s Chamber.

Due to its Puncture damage type, you can use Accelerated Blast to increase the fire rate as well as the Puncture.

While playing in close range, Primed Point Blank can be used to deal more damage by +15% to +165%.

Vaykor Hek already has a higher Critical chance. Therefore, Blunderbuss might not be a very intelligent choice. However, if you want to increase your odds, even more, you can choose this. But a better option would be to use Primed Ravage to boost the critical damage.

Vaykor Hek Standard Build

Vaykor Hek Standard Build

The first and foremost build that we will discuss is the Vaykor Hek Standard build. The Standard build has two major mods that you will have to use anyhow, and that is the Primed Ravage mod and the Primed Point-Blank mod.

These two mods are always suggested to be used in the mission because these mods are damage dealing mods and can deal with a significant amount of damage. Also, make sure you do not only use the damage mod.

Other than the damage mod, the status mods also are relatively useful. These mods deal with the high critical chances and status chances, and thus they can be an excellent choice to have opted in the mission.

These mods can also help in creating more status effects within a specific range and can deal with damage also. Hunter Munitions also works well with Critical damage and critical delay. Other than the mods, the build itself is strong and does not require any mods.

Fast Damage Vaykor Hek Build

Fast Damage Vaykor Hek Build

The next damage build that we will be discussing is the fast damage build that overcomes its major drawback that is the slow reload speed. Mainly, in a build, you should have more speed than damage because speed is something through which you can resist the damage also. So, try looking for the mods that are providing you good speed and not damage.

Seeking Fury and Accelerated blast are the two significant mods that you can use in this mod. You can also use the Blunderbuss for the tactical Pump in case you need more speed. The build itself is not healthy, and therefore, we will use those mods that will provide us strength, energy, and efficiency. Other than this, the build must have some speed mods that we can use because we need more and more speed in this build.

Conclusion

Vaykor Hek is an excellent choice if you are looking for a mid-ranged weapon. Its damage output combined with mods becomes massive and can be used at any mission level.

You can use this guide to experiment with the mods combination to create a custom build, and you can also choose any of the Vaykor builds that we have discussed above.
