Understand Nukor
Useful when…
- Sustain fire on a target to apply its 22 Radiation damage per hit and take advantage of its 29% status chance.
- Use it as a secondary for rapid, accurate hits: it fires at 10 rounds per second, has a 50-round magazine and reloads in 2 seconds.
How it handles
The Nukor uses a held trigger and hitscan attacks, so its listed 100 accuracy does not require leading a projectile. Each normal hit deals 22 Radiation damage. Its 10-round-per-second fire rate and 29% status chance support repeated status attempts during sustained fire. The weapon has a 3% critical chance and a 4× critical multiplier; the multiplier only matters on the rare critical hit, so avoid treating it as a consistently critical-focused sidearm.
Practical use and investment
The large 50-round magazine gives room for continuous firing, though the 2-second reload can interrupt that pressure. Mod choices should reflect whether you want to reinforce its Radiation damage, improve repeated-hit output, or build around status applications; the supplied stats do not determine a single best setup or final damage. Its Mastery requirement is 4, and listed construction costs are 30,000 credits plus a blueprint and materials, with a 24-hour build time.
How it differs from other sidearms
The Sepulcrum is a heavier, higher-Mastery option with twin explosive projectiles and a lock-on secondary fire, while the Tysis fires corrosive darts. Akarius instead launches seeking rockets that arm after traveling a safe distance. These offer different handling and attack conditions; their descriptions alone do not establish that one is a direct upgrade or a replacement for the Nukor.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Very high fire rate and status chance favor sustained hits, but the low critical chance makes critical-focused expectations unreliable.
- Its 50-round magazine supports extended firing, while each reload still takes 2 seconds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the 4× critical multiplier as evidence of frequent critical hits despite the 3% critical chance.
- Releasing the trigger before sustained fire has made use of the weapon’s 29% status chance.
