Mutalist Quanta GUIDE

Understand Mutalist Quanta

Useful when…

  • Compare the automatic projectile Normal Attack with the separately listed orb entries.
  • Use the weapon description’s airborne mass mechanic as context while leaving its deployment and detonation method unspecified.

What does the Normal Attack offer?

The Normal Attack is listed as an automatic projectile attack at speed 10. Its attack entry lists 2.5 Impact, 15 Puncture, and 7.5 Slash damage, with 2.5% critical chance, a 1.5× critical multiplier, and 15% status chance. The rifle has a 60-round magazine and a 3-second reload.

What does the weapon description say about the airborne mass?

The description says the automatic rifle can also deploy an irradiated airborne Infested mass. The attack entries list Infested Orb as a projectile with speed 5, 20 Radiation damage, 100% status chance, and no critical chance. Orb Explosion is a separate area attack entry listing 100 Toxin damage, 5% critical chance, a 1.5× multiplier, and 39% status chance, with falloff from 0 to 4.4 and 0.5 reduction. These entries do not specify how the mass is deployed or detonated.

What are the listed progression and weapon properties?

Mutalist Quanta has a rank cap of 30 and one Vazarin polarity. Its listed trigger is Auto, fire rate is 10, accuracy is 100, and reload time is 3 seconds. The Normal Attack lists 2.5% critical chance and 15% status chance; the orb entries have their own separate profiles.

How do other rifle descriptions differ?

Aeolak is described as an automatic rifle with radiation primary fire and a charged explosive alternate shot. Ambassador is described as switching between charged explosive shots and rapid electrical assault fire. Argonak is described as supporting single-fire and automatic modes. These descriptions provide comparison points without establishing matching handling or damage profiles.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The Normal Attack lists 2.5% critical chance and a 3-second reload.
  • The orb attack entries have separate damage profiles, while their deployment and detonation method is unspecified.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not present the orb entries as a controllable alternate fire mode; their use controls are unspecified.
  • Keep the Radiation Infested Orb and Toxin Orb Explosion entries distinct.
  • Do not call 4.4 a radius or describe 0.5 reduction as a percentage.
