Exard Scaffold

"Burst-fire grenade launcher."

- In-game Description

The  is a scaffold used in Amp construction, that allows the weapon to perform an alternate secondary fire function (default ). The Exard fires a rapid-fire barrage of explosive projectiles that detonate on contact with enemies or the environment. When fired, the Exard will continue firing until the Amp's energy is spent.

The ​blueprint is sold by Little Duck for standing and requires a rank of Agent to purchase. It is also a possible rank-up reward for advancing to ​Agent​ with Vox Solaris.
