Understand Thornbak
Useful when…
- Consider the listed status chance and physical damage profile when choosing how to use the weapon.
- Use the listed magazine and reload values to understand its basic ammunition handling.
Attack profile
The Normal Attack is hitscan and has a listed speed of 6. It deals approximately 9.33 Impact, 9.33 Puncture, and 9.34 Slash damage, with 6% critical chance, a 1.4x critical multiplier, and 36% status chance. The weapon has a 52-round magazine and reloads in 1.8 seconds.
Status and critical baseline
The attack lists 36% status chance and 6% critical chance. It has one Naramon polarity and a Mastery requirement of 0. The description calls it a burst rifle, but the attack details do not specify the number of shots in a burst.
Other rifle mechanics
Argonak is described as having single-fire and automatic modes with a laser sighting system. Hema's description mentions health-for-ammo and health restoration with headshots; Karak is described as a standard issue Grineer rifle. These are distinct mechanics and do not establish that the weapons are direct substitutes for Thornbak.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its listed critical chance is 6%, compared with a 36% status chance.
- The details do not specify how many shots are in a burst.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not read the 36% status chance as critical chance.
- Do not interpret the attack speed of 6 as a firing rate in shots per second.
- Do not infer a burst size from the burst trigger label.
