Understand Pyrana
Useful when…
- Use its normal attack when an automatic, Slash-weighted shotgun sidearm suits the encounter.
- Account for the listed damage falloff when engaging beyond 15 m.
Normal attack and damage
The normal attack is hitscan and lists 12 multishot. Falloff starts at 15 m and reaches a listed 72.73% reduction at 30 m. The attack lists 20% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 2.5% status chance.
Handling and requirements
Pyrana has an automatic trigger, a 10-round magazine, and a 2-second reload time. It requires Mastery Rank 12. Construction is listed at 20,000 credits and 12 hours, with listed materials including 200 Alloy Plate, 2 Control Modules, 1 Forma, and 800 Salvage. These figures do not establish current availability.
Other sidearm firing patterns
Kohmak is also a shotgun sidearm; its description says successive shots double the volley. Bronco is described as effective only at close range and as having limited magazine capacity. Cyanex is described as a pistol that fires ricocheting, homing projectiles releasing Gas clouds on impact, with an alternate fire that releases its magazine in a non-homing burst. These descriptions identify different firing patterns, but do not establish direct performance comparisons.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Damage falloff begins at 15 m and reaches a listed 72.73% reduction at 30 m.
- The magazine holds 10 rounds and takes 2 seconds to reload.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the listed 22 damage as a combined total across all 12 multishot projectiles.
- Ignoring the listed falloff beyond 15 m.
