Notes[]

Directly reduces ammo cost by a percentage while active. At rank 5, no ammo will be consumed.
- After being activated by the secondary, the buff also works on primary weapons.
- Getting another proc does not refresh the timer. The current instance of Arcane Pistoleer must run out before another can be started.
Alt-fire modes that shoot all remaining bullets in an automatic burst ( Cyanex, Nagantaka, or Pandero) shoot the current number of bullets left in the magazine while conserving them, allowing for an ammo-efficient, repeated use of these modes.
- Azima alt-fire still consumes the entire magazine as normal, but the turrets themselves benefit from partial ammo efficiency, expending their ammo more slowly and therefore lasting much longer. However, 100% ammo efficiency does not benefit turrets in any way and they will last their normal duration.
Is also capable of being toggled by pistol Exalted Weapons like the Dex Pixia.

Tips[]

Can greatly improve the performance of weapons that otherwise have low magazine size like Akbronco ( Prime) or Twin Rogga.
- The same applies to primaries like ( Sancti) Tigris ( Prime), ( Kuva) Tonkor, and Vectis ( Prime), although improving holster speed (e.g. with Speed Holster) is advised.
Synergizes well with Pyrana Prime's passive, allowing the wielder to make more use of the fire rate/akimbo buff without sacrificing the buff's duration to reloads.
