Understand Kohmak
Useful when…
- Maintaining fire to reach its fully spooled attack.
- Engaging nearby enemies where its damage falloff is less pronounced.
How its firing modes differ
The Single Pellet attack has a listed speed of 1, 69% status chance, and 11% critical chance; Fully Spooled has speed 5 and 13.8% status chance with the same 11% critical chance. Each attack's listed pellet damage is 6 Impact, 6 Puncture, and 18 Slash. The weapon description says each successive shot doubles its volley; the detailed data presents the two attack states separately and does not provide an exact spool-up sequence.
Range and practical use
Both attack entries list falloff beginning at 12 meters and ending at 24 meters, with 83.33% reduction at the end. Its 40-round magazine and 2-second reload support continued firing, while 8 listed accuracy suits a closer engagement better than precise long-range shots. The weapon has a Vazarin polarity for matching mods.
Investment and alternatives
Kohmak requires Mastery Rank 5 and has a rank cap of 30. The supplied recipe facts list a 30,000-credit build price, 15,000-credit blueprint cost, and one Forma among its components; weigh that crafting commitment against how much you want its spooling shotgun handling. Pyrana is also a shotgun sidearm, but its supplied description only establishes automatic fire and its Rank 12 requirement, so it is not evidence of identical handling.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- A large magazine and automatic fire come with a listed 2-second reload.
- Damage falloff starts at 12 meters; accuracy is listed as 8.
- The spool description does not specify the exact number of shots needed to reach the fully spooled state.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the Single Pellet and Fully Spooled entries to have the same status chance; they list 69% and 13.8%, respectively.
- Using it as though its listed damage stayed constant beyond 12 meters.
