CODEX

Rain down a triple volley of explosive disease bladders from a distance, then move in for the kill by unloading a multi-shot barrage of toxic barbs with primary fire.

The Bubonico is an  Infested Shotgun Arm-Cannon that launches a barrage of  Toxin blasts from its primary fire, while its Alternate Fire shoots three explosive  Viral shots in a burst. The arm-cannon does not have ammo reserves, and instead regenerates ammo.

Characteristics

• This weapon deals primarily  Slash damage and innate  Toxin on its primary fire and  Viral on its Alternate Fire.
• Primary fire shoots 7 pellet barrages in a fully automatic fashion.
• Alternate fires a three round burst that explode in a 7 meter radius upon impact with a surface or enemy.
• This weapon does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.

Advantages:

• Primary fire:
  • High critical chance.
  • High critical multiplier.
  • Innate punch through allows hitting multiple targets in line.
  • High accuracy.
• Alternate Fire:
  • Very high critical multiplier.
  • Highest status chance of all primary launchers.
  • Pinpoint accuracy.

Disadvantages:

• Primary Fire:
  • Projectiles have travel time.
• Alternate Fire:
  • Very low critical chance.
  • Multiplied consumption results in only three bursts before recharging.
  • Slow projectiles have travel time with heavy arcing.
  • Explosion inflicts self-stagger.

Acquisition

The Bubonico's blueprint can be researched from the Bio Lab in the dojo.

Notes

• Bubonico uses shotgun mods.
• Primary fire has 1.9 meters of Punch Through.
• Alternate fire explosion has a 7 meter area of effect.
  • Each shot in the burst consumes 3 rounds (9 rounds per burst).
  • Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
  • Explosion has an innate +150% status duration bonus.
    • Bonus stacks multiplicatively with other sources of status duration.
  • Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
  • Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% over 7m.
• Reload has a 0.5 second delay before ammo begins to regenerate. Ammo regenerates at 16.875 ammo per second; taking 1.6 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted battery excluding the delay.
• The player is able to perform actions limited to secondary weapons, such as carrying objects or firing during bleedout.
• It is also officially classified as a Shotgun and can be used in missions with Shotgun-Only restrictions.

Tips

• There are several ways to make use of the Alternate Fire's high critical damage by adding flat critical chance bonuses:
  • An Adarza Kavat with  Cat's Eye can give your weapons an additive 60% boost to critical chance.
  • Likewise, Smeeta Kavat's  Charm can guarantee orange crits as one of its possible effects.
  • With another player using the  Mutalist Quanta's Alternate Fire, shooting through the orb adds a flat +25% critical chance, in addition to +25% critical damage and extra  Electricity.
  •  Harrow's  Covenant can add up to +50% additive crit chance, or +200% on headshots, after absorbing enough damage.
  • A fully ranked  Arcane Avenger has a 21% chance upon receiving damage to grant +45% flat critical chance.

Trivia

• Bubonico is a play on Bubonic plague, one of three variants of Plague best known as the cause of the Black Death.
  • Bubonic itself is dervied from Bubo, painful swelling of the lymph nodes around the neck, groin, and armpits.
• Bubonico is the second arm cannon added in WARFRAME.
• Bubonico's Alternate Fire has the highest status chance of all weapons.
