Understand Braton Vandal
Useful when…
- Sustained direct fire with a 50-round magazine and a 1.75-second reload.
- A lower-Mastery rifle option for players who prefer more accuracy and a slower firing rate than the standard Braton description indicates.
What does the normal attack do?
The normal attack is automatic and hit-scan, firing at 7.5 shots per second. It deals 12.25 Impact, 1.75 Puncture, and 21 Slash damage per shot, with 16% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 16% status chance. The magazine holds 50 rounds, reload time is 1.75 seconds, and listed accuracy is 33.33. It requires Mastery Rank 4.
How is Incarnon Form different?
The Incarnon Form direct attack is hit-scan and fires at 4.67 shots per second. It lists 38% critical chance, a 3.2× critical multiplier, 22% status chance, and Impact, Slash, and Puncture damage of 26, 36.4, and 2.6. The separate Incarnon Form AoE deals 65 Heat damage and has 10% falloff reduction from 0 to 3 meters. Keep these mode-specific figures separate from the normal attack's 16% critical and status chances.
Which comparison is useful?
The standard Braton requires no Mastery and is described as a high-rate, accurate rifle; Braton Vandal instead lists a slower fire rate, higher accuracy, and a larger normal-attack critical chance (16% versus 12%). Quanta Vandal lists 22% critical chance and a 2.4× multiplier, but the supplied description only identifies it as a customized Quanta, so those figures alone do not establish similar handling. Prova Vandal is a machete despite the comparison record's group label; it is not a rifle alternative.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The slower normal fire rate and 50-round magazine require more deliberate sustained fire than a higher-capacity rifle.
- Normal and Incarnon attacks have different critical and status profiles; do not transfer one mode's statistics to the other.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not use Incarnon Form's 38% critical chance or 22% status chance as the normal attack's values.
- Do not mistake Prova Vandal for a rifle based on its comparison group label; its listed type is Machete.
