Notes[]
Incarnon Genesis[]
- Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn Braton Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Braton with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.

- Installing the Braton Incarnon Genesis requires 20 Pathos Clamps, 60 Rune Marrow, and 60 Tasoma Extract.

- Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

- Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
- Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either

- Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
- Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as Energized Munitions).

Tips[]
- When fighting at long range, consider firing the Braton Prime in short bursts, or charge the enemy to gain ground. The ammo saved from avoiding long range fighting can compensate for damage sustained in melee/short ranged combat.
- A higher pitch firing sound can be heard when the current magazine is nearly out of ammo.
