CODEX

Quickly fire off a volley of deadly bolts with the Attica repeating crossbow.

The Attica is an automatic  Tenno crossbow. It has the second-slowest fire rate of all automatic primary weapons but delivers high damage, high critical chance bolts. However, these bolts are also slow, requiring a Tenno to lead their shots.

This weapon can be sold for 7,500 Credits 7,500.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Puncture damage.

Advantages:

• Third highest base damage of all fully automatic rifles, behind  Zhuge Prime and  Zhuge/ Panthera/ Panthera Prime.
  • High  Puncture damage – effective against armor.
• High critical chance.
• Tied with  Soma/ Soma Prime and  Baza/ Baza Prime for the highest critical multiplier of all fully automatic rifles, and the highest critical multiplier of all bows.
• High accuracy.
  • Pinpoint accuracy when aiming.
• Very ammo efficient.
  • High ammo reserve for its magazine size.
  • Uses rifle ammo pickups instead of the scarcer sniper ammo pickups.
• On kill, bodies will follow the bolt that killed them, damaging anyone in their path and pinning the corpse to walls.
• Silent.
• Innate polarity.
• Can use the bow-exclusive  Thunderbolt mod.
• Counts as a bow in regards to fire rate mods, doubling the fire rate bonus.

Disadvantages:

• Low  Impact and  Slash damage – less effective against shields and Flesh.
• Low status chance.
• Projectiles have travel time.
• Low reload speed.
• Tied with  Panthera Prime for the second slowest fire rate of all fully automatic weapons, after  Panthera.

Acquisition

The Attica's blueprint can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.

Notes

• Can be used in bow-only Sortie missions.
• Despite being a crossbow, maxing it out will not unlock the PS4 "Bow Proficiency" trophy.

Tips

• While possessing an Auto trigger, the Attica is best used when fired in bursts to better aim shots and manage its small magazine. On the other hand, its automatic fire combined with its native knockback makes it good when strafing against multiple enemies, or shooting a single tough enemy multiple times.
• The Attica ragdolls enemies it kills a significant distance with momentum. This momentum allows the Attica to kill an enemy behind the first target.
•  Thunderbolt synergizes well with the Attica due to the weapon's multiple shots per magazine combined with its automatic trigger, giving it a very high chance of triggering explosions within a shorter amount of time than conventional bows. This makes the Attica more proficient at crowd-control than single-shot bows like the  Dread, with its full-auto fire allowing one to strafe an area with explosive bolts to deal damage against multiple enemies.
  • The potency of the crowd control property of this trick can be boosted much further with  Mirage's  Hall Of Mirrors, since each copy's Thunderbolt explosion will still deal full damage, unlike their normal attacks. This can be further augmented if Mirage has  Hall of Malevolence installed.

Trivia

• The Attica is the second crossbow introduced in the game, after the  Ballistica. However, it is the first full-sized crossbow to be introduced.
• The Repeating Crossbow is an ancient Chinese invention, using a hand-operated mechanism to achieve faster rates of fire than normal crossbows at the cost of killing power.
• Attica's namesake is a region of Greece that encompasses the entire metropolitan area of Greece's capital Athens. The Greeks also had a type of repeating ballista (A kind of scaled-up crossbow) called the Polybolos.
• Like the  Dread, the Attica's 'string' glows with energy-colored light running along it towards the draw point.
