CODEX

This scoped pistol analyzes strikes, learning how to damage its targets most effectively. Achieve maximum damage output after five successive hits.

The Arca Scisco is a  Corpus-built scoped laser pistol that gains a stacking critical chance and status chance buff on every shot.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Puncture Damage Puncture damage.

Advantages:

• High Puncture Damage Puncture and good Slash Damage Slash damage – effective against armor and health.
• Good critical chance.
• Very high status chance.
• Second highest magazine size of all semi-auto pistols, behind Akbolto Prime Akbolto Prime.
• Shots trigger Target Analysis buff, additively increasing critical chance and status chance by 4%, stacking up to five times for 20%, and lasts 2 seconds. Buff can be refreshed on consecutive shots.
• Has 2x and 4x zoom options when zooming in with the weapon.

Disadvantages:

• Mostly Puncture Damage Puncture and no Impact Damage Impact damage – less effective against shields.
• Low critical multiplier.
• Fairly slow reload speed.

Acquisition

The Arca Sisco's blueprint can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.

Notes

• When a shot hits an enemy, the Arca Scisco gets the Target Analysis buff. A flat 4% critical chance and status chance bonus are added after mods, stacking up to five times on shots up to 20%. The buff lasts for 2 seconds and can be refreshed. When the buff times out, one stack is lost and the buff duration resets.
• Secondary sniper rifle, very useful if you happen to use a short range weapon like a shotgun as a primary.

Tips

• Puncture Damage Puncture and Slash Damage Slash can be a potent combination for Grineer, as the puncture damage will deal bonus to armor while the slash procs will bleed them through the armor itself. Because there is no Impact Damage Impact, this makes slash proc more often compared to standard physical damage weapons with slash as the second or third highest damage amount.

Trivia

• The writing on the side of the weapon seems to translate as "LONG BOLTER".
