The Ambassador is a Corpus assault rifle whose Alternate Fire allows switching between fully-automatic rounds or a long-ranged explosive shot.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon primarily deals
Electricity damage. - Alternate Fire mode-switching reloads the weapon and changes the weapon's firing mode to a charged shot.
- Charge mode:
- Pinpoint accuracy.
- Heavy Caliber's accuracy penalty is minimal.
- Shots explode in a 6 meter radius on impact with a surface or enemy.
- Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
- Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
- Can benefit from Cautious Shot.
- Charge is automatic and does not need to be held down.
- However, holding down the trigger will not fire the shot at full charge thus allowing for aim adjustments.
- Rolling while holding the full charge will cancel it and not consume any ammo.
- Consumes 48 ammo per shot, effectively resulting in a 2-round magazine.
- Pinpoint accuracy.

Notes[]
- Alternate Fire mode switching is affected by reload speed mods.
- While this makes it so the weapon will always fire two shots when on charge mode, the weapon will not fire if the magazine has less than 48 rounds, and will reload automatically instead.
- Tainted Mag gives the weapon enough rounds to fire three shots in charge mode, at the cost of increased reload and switch speed.
- Primed Magazine Warp also gives the weapon enough rounds to fire three shots in charge mode, without reducing reload speed. If kept at rank 9, it provides exactly 48 rounds and will thus begin automatically reloading after three shots.
- While this makes it so the weapon will always fire two shots when on charge mode, the weapon will not fire if the magazine has less than 48 rounds, and will reload automatically instead.
Trivia[]
- The Machinist's weapon is identical in appearance to the Ambassador, however theirs functions as a flamethrower rather than a laser assault rifle.
- In automatic fire mode, the weapon will become quieter with less reverb once the magazine goes below 48 ammo, as well as the standard sound cue that the magazine is running low.
- The Ambassador does not replace its magazine on reload. Reloading the gun appears to involve the magazine being taken out, banged twice against the ejection port, and then simply replaced in the magazine slot.

Patch History[]
Update 33.0 (2023-04-26)
- Fixed the following weapons’ AOE on impact not being affected by Blast Radius Mods (such as Firestorm).
- Ambassador
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Headshot Damage Changes
During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.
Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.
- Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
- This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.
Update 30.8 (2021-10-04)
- Fixed magazine of the Ambassador flickering after reloading when equipped with the Ambassador Tenet Skin.
Hotfix 30.7.6 (2021-09-23)
- Fixed an issue where the Ambassador’s magazine would get stuck to player’s hands if you interrupted the reload.
- Fixed Ambassador Parts not being chat-linkable.
Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)
- Ambassador Component Blueprints have a chance to drop from Aurax Atloc Raknoids. The main Blueprint can now be attained as a Rotation C reward from any Corpus Railjack Survival mission.
- After engaging with Community Feedback, we noticed that obtaining the Ambassador parts was a tough combination of playing the same mission in 4 different locations with some difficult RNG. The Ambassador components have also been moved to an enemy that was without a drop table!
- Every Aurax Atloc Raknoid has a 15% to drop any component Blueprints for the Ambassador
- Enemies typically only drop Weapon Blueprints or component Blueprints which is why the Ambassador components were given individual Blueprints
