The Battacor is a Corpus rifle incorporating Sentient technology. Its primary fire is fully automatic (firing 2-round bursts) and builds charges on kills that powers up its Alternate Fire, an obliterating laser. While the alternate fire is hitscan, the primary fire is projectile therefore the full auto shots have travel time. It can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.

Advantages:
- Primary fire is a fully automatic 2-round burst rifle.
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against Shielded and Proto Shields.
- High Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against armor.
- Fully automatic for a burst-fire rifle.
- Second highest critical chance of all burst-fire rifles behind Dex Sybaris, and highest critical chance of all fully automatic rifles.
- Second highest critical multiplier of all burst-fire rifles, behind Tiberon Prime.
- Good status chance.
- High accuracy and low recoil for a burst weapon.
- Alternate Fire charges a powerful beam.
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against Alloy Armor, Robotic, and Infested Sinew.
- Kills with primary fire stacks charges up to three times, increasing the damage ofAalternate Fire.
- Tied with Tenora for the highest critical chance and critical multiplier of all charge-up rifles.
- Very fast charge speed.
- Charge is automatic and does not need to be held down.
- Innate 2 meters Punch Through.
- Beam has a width of 0.5 meters.
- Sides of the beam can hit enemies if they are close enough.
- Surface and enemy impacts create a 3-meter explosion inflicting a second instance of the Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
- Does not cause self-damage.
- Does not use ammo.
- High magazine capacity.
- Good ammo efficiency.
Disadvantages:
- Primary Fire:
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Alloy Armor.
- No Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against health.
- Damage cannot be increased with Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. mods.
- Linearly less efficient – sometimes a target may only die with two bullets, which requires an entire second burst to be fired.
- Projectiles have travel time.
- Slowest fire rate of all burst-fire rifles, and the second slowest fire rate of all fully automatic rifles after Panthera.
- Alternate Fire:
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Shielded, Infested, and Fossilized.
- Damage cannot be increased with Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. mods.
- Low status chance.
- Impact explosion damage decreases with distance from its epicenter.
- Cannot fire without charges.
- Charges can only be gained through kills made by the primary fire, or damage from status effects caused by the primary fire.
- Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Shielded, Infested, and Fossilized.
Notes
- Primary fire accumulates up to three charges when killing enemies, allowing alt-fire to unleash an Opticor-like beam that can pierce and hit multiple enemies. This also causes an explosion with the first surface or enemy impact, inflicting the same damage as the beam itself.
- Damage multiplier of the charges is equal to the amount of charges stored (e.g. 3 charges does 3x damage).
- Alt-fire cannot be used without any charges.
- Charge status is indicated by a trio of horizontal bars on the right side of the crosshairs.
Trivia
- The Battacor is the first weapon in-game to use the Auto Burst trigger.
- A Battacor can be seen being tested in a Corpus firing range in the Enrichment Labs area of Orb Vallis, where Conculysts are also being researched on.
- Though Battacor is a primary firearm, there is a ring that looks similar to Jai Link attached to it. This aesthetic is shared with Ocucor.
- The Battacor's name, like the Ocucor, seems to be a portmanteau, incorporating Battalyst (a Sentient enemy) and the suffix -cor, seen in some other Corpus weapons. Also in line with the Ocucor appearing to be a modified Amp prism, the Battacor appears to be a modified Battalyst arm.
