Zakti

The Zakti Tenno pistol fires darts that explode with damage after a short period, with a chance to proc. Each dart also has a 100% chance to proc, as well as the explosion causing enemies to stagger.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:
 * High total damage per dart.
 * damage is very effective against Infested and Infested Flesh health types.
 * Gas damage is applied on explosion, allowing for or  mods to be used separately.
 * Very fast reload speed.
 * High status chance.
 * Guaranteed proc with each shot.
 * Exploding darts will stagger enemies, opening them up for Finishers.

Disadvantages:
 * Very small magazine capacity.
 * Low critical chance and critical multiplier.
 * High recoil, even more so when firing from the hip.
 * damage is less effective against Cloned Flesh and Corpus Flesh.
 * Darts have travel time, making them ineffective against targets at longer ranges.
 * Darts explode after a brief delay.

Tips

 * Because the weapon easily opens enemies up to finishers, the weapon synergizes very well with abilities that boost finisher damage, such as augments for Radial Blind (Radiant Finish) and Silence (Savage Silence).
 * More so with Banshee's Silence ability, as enemies are only stunned when the ability is cast and/or when enemies enter the radius of the ability. This weapon allows Banshee to re-stun enemies and take full advantage of the augment.

Trivia

 * "Zakti" is a Sanskrit word that can mean energy, ability, strength, and power.

Bugs
