Weapon Loadouts
See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

Bugs

 * While using the Shade sentinel, holding down the fire button and then proceeding close to enemies will cloak you, and you will continue to be cloaked until your clip is drained and you must reload. This tactic uses ammo very quickly but may be useful against heavy opponents as you can apply heavy damage without them retaliating. If you wish to use this tactic equip Magazine Warp to increase duration of cloak.
 * Accuracy will always be 0%.

Tips

 * Using Metal Auger you can hit several infested and other enemies if you aim for legs, arms and other thin parts making the weapon much better for dealing with crowds.
 * Because of the high ammo drain, ammo size mod(s) and/or clip size mods (such as Wildfire) are highly recommended.
 * Split Champer (Multishot) works very well for the Flux Rifle, although you can not see multiple shots as they are stacked on top of each other.
 * It is highly recommended to polarize the Flux Rifle.

Trivia

 * The Flux Rifle currently does not follow the Corpus weapon naming convention; two syllables ending in "a".  It is likely a place holder name and description.
