The Simulor is a Cephalon designed weapon obtainable from Cephalon Simaris that utilizes balls of gravitational force as projectiles. These balls can be manipulated to produce different effects, from producing explosions to creating damaging vortexes.

Acquisition

Tips

 * Increasing projectile travel distance using Jet Stream can be used to shoot balls further out, allowing singularities to be set up at longer distances. This may not always be desirable however, as it causes singularities to become increasingly less controllable, potentially overshooting their intended targets or bouncing out of reach. Depending on how the Simulor is intended to be used, consider using Overextended to adjust Jet Stream's projectile speed bonus to a manageable level.
 * Combining projectiles have a larger blast radius (~5m vs ~7m) and deal significantly more damage (~60 vs ~170) than detonating balls, making orb combination a primary source of damage.
 * Detonating energy balls manually can be used for crowd control, as their guaranteed proc can stun enemies even if they don't deal enough damage to kill them.
