Ferrox

The Ferrox is a Corpus Spear Gun introduced wielded by Index broker Derim Zahn. Its Alternate Fire tosses the Ferrox as far as 50 meters, creating an electric field where it lands and pulling enemies towards it. It is available for research in the Energy Lab of a Clan Dojo.

This weapon can be sold for.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:
 * High damage on primary fire.
 * Alternate fire has high physical damage on direct impacts with enemies.
 * Primary-fire projectiles are hitscan.
 * Innate punch-through
 * Able to be thrown to crowd control multiple enemies with a localized field of attraction.
 * Enemies will be dealt 150 when trapped in said field.
 * High critical chance and critical damage multiplier.
 * Very ammo efficient.
 * Very short charge time before firing compared to other charged weapons such as bows, equal to the MK1-Paris and bested only by the Javlok and the Rakta Cernos.
 * Comes with a and slot.

Disadvantages:
 * Unlike the Javlok, the Ferrox cannot fire with a partial charge.
 * Alternate Fire has slow projectile speed.
 * The weapon fires as soon as it has reached a full charge which can lead to premature firing.
 * Once the Ferrox is thrown, the player will not be able to use it until it is either picked up or when it returns to the player's hands.

Tips

 * This weapon's decent critical chance and damage multiplier make critical builds using Point Strike and Vital Sense good options.
 * When applying additional elements to the Ferrox, its alt-fire will proc them periodically; as with other weapons with an elemental base, will be applied last if there are two or more other elements modded for, unless an  mod is included in the order.
 * Heavy Caliber has a marginal effect on the Ferrox's primary fire even at long range, making it a viable mod for increasing the weapon's damage output.
 * It does affect additional shots when using multishot mods such as Split Chamber.
 * The Ferrox's alt-fire is very useful as a crowd control tool in Survival missions, as its tethering arcs may stun enemies with procs and also pull them together in a close lump.
 * This tethering effect is further amplified on corridors where enemies pass through frequently.
 * This makes grenade-type secondary weapons such as Angstrum and Kulstar or thrown secondaries with Concealed Explosives good choices when using the Ferrox in this manner.
 * This alt-fire will also help squadmates with launcher-type primaries such as Zarr and Tonkor.

Trivia

 * The bodies of enemies killed by this weapon disintegrate in a manner similar to channeled Melee kills.
