Argonak

Two-mode precision and automatic rifle

Released Oct 12, 2017

Argonak is a primary rifle with separate semi-auto and full-auto hitscan modes. Consider semi-auto for its stronger listed critical profile, or full-auto when you want a faster firing mode with higher listed status chance.

Argonak GUIDE

Understand Argonak

Useful when…

  • Picking out targets with the semi-auto mode's 27% critical chance and 2.3× multiplier.
  • Switching to a 6-shot-per-second full-auto mode when faster firing and 27% status chance suit the encounter.

Keep the two modes distinct

Semi-Auto Mode fires at 4.33 shots per second and lists 57 total damage: 24.51 Impact, 6.27 Puncture, and 26.22 Slash. Its critical chance is 27%, critical multiplier 2.3×, and status chance 19%. Full Auto Mode uses the same listed damage distribution per attack, but fires at 6 shots per second and lists a 9% critical chance, 1.5× critical multiplier, and 27% status chance. Both are hitscan. The description refers to a laser sighting system for highlighting distant enemies, but the supplied details do not quantify a sighting effect.

Choosing a mode and investing

Use semi-auto when the stronger listed critical values fit your aim and pace; use full-auto when its higher firing rate and status chance are more useful. Do not transfer one mode's critical or status values to the other. The 43-round magazine and 2.4-second reload support extended firing, and the two listed polarities are Madurai and Naramon for slot planning. The rifle requires Mastery Rank 7.

Other rifles with mode choices

Kuva Hind is described as a burst rifle retrofitted with semi-auto and automatic modes. Aeolak has automatic radiation primary fire and an alternate charged explosive projectile. Quartakk's description instead emphasizes four simultaneous shots. These descriptions offer distinct handling patterns; they do not establish equivalent mode stats or a universal upgrade choice.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Semi-auto has the higher listed critical profile; full-auto trades that profile for faster firing and higher status chance.
  • The description mentions laser highlighting, but its practical effect is not quantified in the supplied details.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Applying semi-auto critical values to full-auto or vice versa.
  • Assuming the laser sight provides a specific bonus beyond highlighting distant enemies.
