Understand Carmine Penta
Useful when…
- Consider it when a grenade projectile's impact and its separate detonation attack both fit your combat approach.
- Account for projectile travel when aiming: the listed grenade speed is 20 m/s.
- Use the magazine size, fire rate and reload time to judge whether its handling suits your primary slot.
Impact and detonation are separate attacks
Grenade Impact is a projectile listed at 20 m/s. It deals 75 Impact damage and has 10% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier and 10% status chance. Grenade Detonation is a separate AoE attack: it deals 350 Blast damage and lists the same critical and status values. Its falloff spans 0–4 m with 50% reduction. Keep the Impact and Detonation values attached to their respective attacks.
Handling and investment
The trigger is listed as Active. Carmine Penta has a 10-round magazine, a fire rate of about 2.67, and a 2.5-second reload. It requires Mastery Rank 6 and has a rank cap of 30. The supplied properties identify the trigger type but do not explain its operation.
Other launcher profiles
The standard Penta is described as firing up to five grenades that can be remotely triggered; that description does not establish the same mechanic for Carmine Penta. Kuva Tonkor is described as having increased reload speed. Kuva Ogris fires semi-automatically from a smaller magazine and deals greater damage per shot than its basic version. These descriptions identify different launcher traits, rather than establishing a direct performance comparison with Carmine Penta.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The projectile travels at a listed 20 m/s, so impact requires accounting for travel time.
- Detonation damage has 50% falloff reduction across its listed 0–4 m falloff range.
- The Active trigger is identified, but its operation is not described.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not report the 350 Blast damage as grenade impact damage; it belongs to the separate detonation attack.
- Do not assume Carmine Penta shares the standard Penta's remotely triggered grenade mechanic.
