Spectra GUIDE

Understand Spectra

Useful when…

  • Use its held trigger and hitscan attack when those handling properties suit your combat approach.
  • Review the listed Slash and Puncture damage and 22% status chance when considering the weapon.

Normal Attack properties

The single listed Normal Attack is hitscan, with speed 12, 14% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 22% status chance. It deals 10.44 Slash and 7.56 Puncture damage. The trigger is Held; the magazine holds 60 rounds and reloads in 1.8 seconds. No Heat or Electricity damage is listed for this attack.

Construction and progression

The listed crafting details include a 25,000-credit build price, an 86,400-second (24-hour) build time, a blueprint, 700 Circuits, 5,000 Ferrite, three Energy Components, and one Forma. It has a rank cap of 30. No polarity is listed in the provided detailed properties.

Different pistol handling

Akarius is described as dual target-seeking rocket launchers that reload faster while sprinting, with an added reload benefit for Gauss. Akjagara is described as hard-hitting dual pistols, while Atomos is described as a particle cannon producing super-heated plasma. These descriptions indicate different weapon types or handling; they do not establish that any is a direct upgrade over Spectra.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The listed attack deals Slash and Puncture; no Heat or Electricity damage is listed for it.
  • The build details include one Forma, while the supplied properties list no polarity.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not infer Heat or Electricity damage from the laser description; the listed attack damage is Slash and Puncture.
  • Do not claim that the weapon has no polarities; the supplied detailed properties simply do not list one.
