Understand Zakti
Useful when…
- Firing projectile darts with a separate listed Gas Cloud attack.
- Deliberate shots with a small magazine and short listed reload.
Projectile and Gas Cloud attacks
The Dart Impact is a projectile attack listed at 5 shots per second, with 12 Impact and 18 Puncture damage, 2% critical chance, and 20% status chance. The separate Gas Cloud attack lists 80 Gas damage and a radius extending to 3.5 meters with no listed falloff reduction.
Handling
Zakti has a semi-automatic trigger, a three-round magazine, and a 0.8-second reload. Its projectile speed and flight are listed as 80, so the shots travel rather than behaving as hit-scan fire. Its listed critical chance is 2% and status chance is 20%.
Related projectile weapons
Tysis is described as firing caustic darts, while Bolto fires slow, heavy bolts that can impale enemies to walls. Cyanex uses automatic ricocheting homing projectiles that release Gas clouds, and its alt-fire releases the magazine as a non-homing burst. Their described projectile behaviors differ from Zakti’s separate dart and Gas Cloud attack entries.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The magazine holds three rounds, although the listed reload is 0.8 seconds.
- Its listed critical chance is 2%.
- Projectile travel differs from hit-scan fire.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Combining Dart Impact and Gas Cloud damage as one attack value.
- Assuming a cloud trigger or timing condition that is not specified.
