Lenz

The Lenz is a Corpus bow with several unique mechanics. It has a built-in ammo mutator to compensate for its rather small ammo pool, and it fires special bolts that inflict weak procs within a seven-meter radius before exploding and dealing a large amount  damage in the same radius.

The blueprint is available through Energy Lab Research in the Dojo.
