Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• High and damage – effective against armor and shields.
• Very high critical chance.
• Tied with  Soma/ Soma Prime,  Attica, and  Baza Prime for the highest critical multiplier of all fully automatic rifles.
• Extremely high accuracy per shot, even at full auto.
• Negligible recoil.
• Silent.
• Large ammo reserve.
• Fastest reload speed of all fully automatic rifles.
• Second fastest reload speed of all fully automatic rifles, behind  Baza Prime.
• Tied with  Baza Prime for the third fastest fire rate of all fully automatic rifles, behind  Grakata and  Prisma Grakata.
• Low zoom when aiming, good for mods that require zooming in for bonuses.

Disadvantages:

• Tied with  Baza Prime for the fourth lowest base damage of all rifles, after  Prisma Grakata,  Soma/ Soma Prime, and  Grakata; very reliant on its good critical damage potential.
  • Low damage – less effective against health.
• Low status chance.
• Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from 22m to 34m target distance (distances are affected by projectile flight speed).
  • Cannot equip  Terminal Velocity.
• Poor ammo economy.
• Fairly low magazine size in contrast to its high fire rate.
• Low zoom when aiming can make ranged shooting more difficult.

Comparisons:

•  Baza (Normal Attack), compared to  Baza Prime (Normal Attack):
  • Equal base damage
  • Lower base critical chance (26.00% vs. 28.00%)
  • Lower base status chance (10.00% vs. 14.00%)
  • Lower average damage per tap (24.32 vs. 24.96)
  • Lower burst DPS (405.41 vs. 416.08)

Notes

• The weapon's firing sounds increases in pitch when 15 or fewer rounds are remaining in the magazine, indicating that the weapon's magazine is almost empty.
• The weapon has minimal zoom when aiming, helpful for mods that add bonuses while aiming like  Argon Scope.

Tips

• The Baza's high accuracy allows it to land headshots consistently compared to other automatic weapons, which along with its good critical hit chance makes it ideal for builds using  Argon Scope.
• Its lower status chance compared to some other automatic rifles can be alleviated with the  Hunter Munitions mod, allowing the weapon to spread procs rapidly to enemies, which helps the weapon a lot versus heavy armor.
• Its silenced nature makes it synergize well with  Ivara, as firing the weapon will not interrupt her  Prowl ability.
• Since the Baza has very high accuracy, it can use Heavy Caliber with almost no drawback and increasing the weapon's overall damage output.

Trivia

• The Baza are a genus of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family.
• Physically, the weapon bears a strong resemblance to the real-life PP-19 Bizon SMG, due to Baza's underbarrel, horizontal magazine, and its overall appearance.
  • The name Baza may be derived from the PP-19's nickname, Bizon.
• The name Baza (shortening of "Barry") is strongly believe to be derived from a conversation had at PAX Aus between DE staff and fans, where "Australian Names" were discussed. It was claimed that "Baza" may be the "most Australian name".  There was also discussion about many great names from native flora and fauna (release with the Cassowar).
