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 Damage Toxin blasts from its primary fire, while its Alternate Fire shoots three explosive Viral Damage Viral shots in a burst.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Slash Damage Slash damage on its primary fire and Viral Damage Viral on its Alternate Fire.

Advantages:

• Primary fire shoots multishot barrages in a fully automatic fashion.
  • High Slash Damage Slash damage – effective against health.
  • Innate Toxin Damage Toxin damage – effective against Flesh and bypasses Shields and Proto Shields.
  • Very high critical chance.
  • Above average critical multiplier.
  • Average per shot status chance.
  • Innate 1.9 meter Punch Through.
  • Innate multishot of 7 pellets.
  • High accuracy.
• Alternate Fire burst-fires three rounds that creates a 7 meter area of effect explosion on impact with a surface or enemy.
  • Innate Viral Damage Viral damage – effective against Flesh and Cloned Flesh.
  • Extremely high critical multiplier.
  • Highest status chance of all weapons.
  • Pinpoint accuracy.
  • Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
  • Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
• Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
  • Has a 0.5 second delay before ammo begins to regenerate. Then, regenerates 16.875 ammo per second; takes 1.6 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted battery excluding the delay.
• Able to perform actions limited to secondary weapons, such as carrying objects or firing during bleedout.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Primary Fire:
  • Low Impact Damage Impact damage – less effective against shields.
  • Innate Toxin Damage Toxin damage – less effective against Machinery, Robotic, and Fossilized.
  • Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from 19m to 41m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
  • Projectiles have travel time.
• Alternate Fire:
  • Innate Viral Damage Viral damage – less effective against Machinery and Infested.
    • Damage cannot be increased with Impact Damage Impact, Puncture Damage Puncture or Slash Damage Slash mods.
  • Extremely low critical chance.
  • Consumes 3 rounds per shot (9 rounds per burst).
  • Projectiles have travel time with heavy arcing.
  • Slow Projectile Speed.
  • Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
  • Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from central impact.

Notes

• Bubonico uses shotgun mods.

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 Cat's Eye can give your weapons an additive 60% boost to critical chance.
  • Likewise, Smeeta Kavat's Charm Charm can guarantee orange crits as one of its possible effects.
  • With another player using the Mutalist Quanta Mutalist Quanta's Alternate Fire, shooting through the orb adds a flat +25% critical chance, in addition to +25% critical damage and extra Electricity Damage Electricity.
  • Harrow Harrow's Covenant Covenant can add up to +50% additive crit chance, or +200% on headshots, after absorbing enough damage.
  • A fully ranked Arcane Avenger 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 ofPlague 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.
