Understand Tenet Spirex
Useful when…
- Account for projectile travel when aiming at moving targets.
- Headshots trigger the stated reload-speed benefit.
Slug and explosion
The slug projectile deals 40 impact, 20 puncture, and 60 heat damage. Its listed critical chance is 26%, critical multiplier is 2.4×, and status chance is 40%. The separate explosion deals 80 heat damage; no separate critical or status values are provided for it. Explosion falloff is listed from 0 to 2, with 20% reduction at the endpoint; no distance unit is specified.
Handling
The pistol fires semi-automatically at about 2.33 shots per second. Its magazine holds 8 rounds and its listed reload time is 2.4 seconds. Accuracy is listed as 12.5; projectile speed is listed as 260, with no unit specified.
Alternative firing styles
Pandero offers single shots or a rapid volley, with a headshot-kill reload benefit specifically when Octavia wields it. Kraken fires two quick shots with one trigger pull; Kuva Kraken can alt-fire the rest of its magazine as a burst. These descriptions outline different firing patterns from the Spirex's projectile slug.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The magazine holds 8 rounds and the listed reload time is 2.4 seconds.
- The slug is a projectile, and the explosion has a separate heat damage entry.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assign the slug's critical or status values to the separate explosion.
- Do not infer distance or travel time from the listed projectile speed or falloff values.
