Tips

 * The Lato Vandal has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, similar to -focused melee weapons. This makes the Lato Vandal a prime candidate for a Desecrating Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
 * Other known firearms which shares the same property are the Akjagara, Braton Prime, Flux Rifle, Grakata, Kohm, other Lato variants (Lato and Lato Prime), Miter, Panthera, Tigris and Vastos (Vasto, Akvasto and Vasto Prime).
