Furax

"These power gauntlets lack the range of most melee weapons, but FURAX is far more devastating when you strike an enemy in close combat."

- In-game description.

Equalvalent to Grineer Powerfists, Furax has a higher base charge damage compared to most other melee weapons. However, the Furax has a much more limited strike range that manifests as a simple close range thrust, making connecting with a charged attack slightly more difficult.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High charge damage.
 * Very effective against Grineer and Corpus.
 * More damage vs ancients (30?)
 * Tripple charge attack damage on infested (normal on ancients but it staggers them 100%)

Disadvantages:
 * Very short effective range.
 * Not effective against Infestation.
 * 120 charge dmg vs Moa corp

Acquisition
The Furax can be purchased for 125 (platinum ), or 30,000 (credits).

Recommended Loadout
Since it has high base charge damage and speed, it's wise to invest on it. Adding stun and shock / fire mods helps stunning enemies with the first hit, to make sure they stand still for the following charged ones.
 * Killing Blow (Charge Damage) and Reflex Coil (Charge Speed)
 * Elemental damage mod of choice
 * Staggering Force (Stun+)

Tips

 * When using these remember that you must be really close and therefore expect yourself to be vulnerable to staggers, knockdowns and knockbacks.
 * When fighting sprint around while charging and turn to hit at last second then run away for another charge. Basically keep moving or do some evasive maneuvers like roll.
 * Don't bring this weapon against Infested. DO bring it against Corpus and Grineer.
