Understand Vaykor Hek
Useful when…
- Review its damage split and critical profile when planning a weapon build.
- Factor in its magazine, reload time, and falloff when considering engagement distance.
Normal Attack profile
The Normal Attack is semi-automatic and hitscan, with 75 listed total damage: 48.75 Puncture, 15 Slash, and 11.25 Impact. It has seven multishot, 25% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and about 10.7% status chance. Its listed fire rate is 3 shots per second. Falloff starts at 10 m and reaches a 73.33% reduction at 25 m; no intermediate curve is specified.
Handling and mod placement
The magazine holds eight rounds and the reload time is 2.25 seconds. The listed Vazarin and Madurai polarities may inform compatible mod placement. These base properties do not determine the outcome of a particular build.
Other shotgun descriptions
Kuva Hek's description says it can fire from all four barrels simultaneously. Arca Plasmor is described as a Corpus plasma shotgun whose blasts stagger targets, with surviving enemies consumed with radiation. Cedo Prime is listed as a shotgun with a Mastery Rank requirement of 15; its supplied description does not specify a distinct handling or use property.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Falloff begins at 10 m and reaches a listed 73.33% reduction at 25 m.
- The eight-round magazine is followed by a listed 2.25-second reload.
- Damage is weighted toward Puncture.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a specific falloff curve between 10 and 25 m.
- Confusing Vaykor Hek with Kuva Hek's described four-barrel firing ability.
- Attributing an unlisted handling property to Cedo Prime.
