Quellor

Automatic rifle with a charged cryo-blast alternate shot

Released Dec 13, 2019

Quellor pairs sustained, accurate automatic fire with a slower, high-impact cold projectile. Use the main mode for ordinary rifle combat; switch to the alternate shot when a concentrated close-range blast is preferable and you can spare time to charge it.

Quellor GUIDE

Understand Quellor

Useful when…

  • Sustained fire with a large magazine between reloads.
  • A charged, short-range blast against a target or clustered enemies.

How its two attacks behave

The automatic hitscan attack fires at 6 rounds per second, with 12% critical chance, a 1.6× critical multiplier, and 38% status chance. Each shot deals 58 listed damage, split between Impact, Puncture, and Cold. Its 300-round magazine supports long firing stretches, but the 4-second reload makes emptying it a meaningful commitment. The alternate attack is a projectile that takes 1.2 seconds to charge. It deals 600 Impact and 800 Cold damage, with 40% critical chance and a 2.2× critical multiplier, but only 10% status chance. Its falloff begins at 9 meters and reaches its listed 66.57% reduction at 18 meters; favor close targets.

Practical use and investment

The automatic mode is the general-purpose option: it is hitscan, fires quickly, and has a large magazine. The alternate blast trades speed and range for a much heavier hit, so use it deliberately rather than as a substitute for the rifle's sustained fire. The weapon requires Mastery Rank 12, has two Madurai polarities, and reaches rank 30. Those starting polarities are useful when your intended build includes compatible mods; prioritize improving the mode you expect to use rather than trying to optimize both attacks at once.

Alternatives and handling tradeoffs

The Ambassador is also listed as a rifle and offers charged explosive shots alongside rapid electrical fire, while the Braton Vandal is described as a more accurate rifle with a slower fire rate. These comparisons indicate different handling or mode choices; they do not establish direct performance rankings. The Coda Bubonico is listed as a shotgun, so its weapon class and ramping primary fire make it a different choice rather than a direct rifle substitute.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The fast, large-magazine main mode requires a long reload when depleted.
  • The alternate shot takes 1.2 seconds to charge and loses substantial damage with distance.
  • The alternate shot has stronger listed critical stats but lower status chance than the automatic mode.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating the alternate projectile like the automatic hitscan shot; it must be charged and has significant falloff.
  • Waiting until the 300-round magazine is empty to reload when a 4-second reload would interrupt combat.
