Lato Vandal GUIDE

Understand Lato Vandal

Useful when…

  • Use the normal profile when you want semi-automatic hitscan shots and its listed 26% critical chance.
  • Consider the Incarnon Form as a separate profile when its listed damage and critical properties fit the situation.

Normal attack and handling

The normal hitscan attack lists 6.9 Impact, 11.5 Puncture, and 27.6 Slash damage, with 26% critical chance, a 2.4× multiplier, and 10% status chance. The pistol is semi-automatic, with listed fire rate 5, accuracy 22.99, a 15-round magazine, and a 1-second reload. Its description says it has higher accuracy and damage but slower fire rate than the standard Lato; no numerical base-Lato comparison is supplied here.

Incarnon Form is a distinct profile

Incarnon Form lists hitscan damage of 19 Impact, 19 Puncture, and 38 Slash, with 34% critical chance, a 3× multiplier, and 10% status chance. Its listed fire rate is 4.

Mod fit and alternatives

The pistol lists one Madurai polarity, which matters when matching compatible mods to the slot. No upgrade tracks are specified. Athodai Prime's description specifies Overdrive after weak-point kills; Kuva Kraken is described as firing three quick shots per trigger pull or emptying the remaining magazine with Alt-Fire; Kuva Seer is described with superior zoom and a small Corrosive burst on projectiles. These are distinct mechanics, not properties of Lato Vandal.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Normal and Incarnon Form have different listed attack speeds, damage components, and critical profiles.
  • The Incarnon Form activation conditions are unspecified.
  • The description gives only a relative fire-rate comparison with the standard Lato, not a numerical difference.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not combine Incarnon Form values with the normal attack.
  • Do not infer a numeric fire-rate difference from the relative description.
  • Do not attribute another pistol's special mechanics to Lato Vandal.
