Understand Cryotra
Useful when…
- Use when a companion weapon with both a projectile hit and a lingering Cold Field is desired.
- Compare with beam or burst weapons when attack handling and damage type matter.
Two attack modes
The Direct Hit is a projectile listed at speed 0.667, with 10 Impact damage, 10% critical chance, a 1.8× critical multiplier, and 10% status chance. The separate Cold Field is a damage-over-time attack listed at speed 1, with 20 Cold damage, 10% critical chance, a 1.8× multiplier, and 30% status chance. The field has a listed falloff from 0 to 1.5 with 70% reduction; do not combine the two modes into one attack value.
Handling and equipment
Cryotra uses a semi-automatic trigger, has a three-round magazine, and a five-second reload. Its listed accuracy is 2.5, and the details include one Madurai polarity. These handling values matter when considering it against faster-firing companion weapon profiles.
Comparisons
Stinger is described as firing Toxin projectiles that embed and deal damage for three seconds, while Burst Laser is described as firing laser bursts and Burst Laser Prime has its own detailed burst profile.
Construction facts
The listed build price is 50,000 credits and the build time is 86,400 seconds (24 hours). The components are enumerated in the details; no acquisition chance or market price is provided.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The separate Cold Field adds a damage-over-time mode, but the weapon has a small magazine and long listed reload.
- Its direct-hit and field attacks have different damage types and status chances; keep those profiles distinct.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not add the Direct Hit and Cold Field values into one attack mode.
- Do not treat the field's 70% reduction as damage dealt; it is listed as falloff reduction.
- Do not describe the 86,400-second build time as hours other than 24.
