Targets with 3 or more Locks are Electrocuted by the first Locked-On bullet that damages them. The Electrocute DoT does 12 Electric-element Damage per Second, slows enemies by 80%, and lasts for 3 seconds.
Full Lock adds 20% more Direct Damage to all shots fired during the burst.
Every time you release a Lock-On burst, the last bullet fired emits an aura of Fear to all enemies near you. For every bullet fired during the Lock-On burst, add 0.15 Fear to the aura (ranges from 30% Base Fear Chance at 1 Lock to 375% Base Fear Chance at 24 Locks). The aura's radius starts at 2.4m and each bullet fired during the Lock-On burst increases it by +0.15m (ranges from 2.55m at 1 Lock to 6m at 24 Locks).

Loadout Guide

Ecr is probably the best weapon overall in drg. It has insane range, doesnt require aim, great dps against crowds, macteras, spitters, pretty much against everyone smaller than a guard (mactera have vulnerability against explosive dmg and a big weakpoint). You should get used to firing in 3-4 bursts though, but its not actually that hard to do so. Executioner is a bit better against macteras but requires bending the lines, and superior against prae and oppressors. So i chose hyperprop, since its the best at its niche. Either use homebrew with pr speed or fire with stun, homebrew doesnt work with the fire mod. Fire mod doesnt lower your direct damage, so its better against patrol bots and prae. Homebrew is also broken, it can only lower the area dmg, while direct dmg is either buffed or unchanged, so the variant in this build is better for oppressors and dreads. With this build you cant really use bug repellant so i chose ammo, but if you take proxies take br. Turrets should always be upgraded this way, only thing that you may want to change is ab mod, but its only useful against guards and prae. This is a armour spec i use, because i dont like changing builds for specific missions i take bigger pockets. You can take any grenade you want, all of them are effective. Lure for defence/events Plasma general gren, but is outclassed because ecr. Proxies are great for holding position, with br plats trivialise missions. Drones are no-brain dmg against all enemies with zero frendly fire.

Perks i use: Sweet tooth/ressuplier Born ready Vampire/thorns Dash(necessary) Battle medic/heightened senses/iron will/shield link

I dont think that in season 4 there are builds better than this. Its definetly not the best in all cases, especially against roxpox enemies.
