Burston Incarnon Genesis is an item that is used to add Incarnon upgrades to the  Burston or  Burston Prime.

Acquisition

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

Evolutions

• Installing the Burston Incarnon Genesis requires 20  Pathos Clamps, 60  Rune Marrow, and 20  Maw Fang.
• When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
  • Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.

Evolution I

• Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
• Gain an Auto Fire mode and deal Radial  Heat Damage.
  • Incarnon Form becomes fully automatic dealing pure  Heat damage with shots exploding in a 2 meter area of effect, with much higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Fire Rate. However, it deals much less base damage, the explosion possesses Damage Falloff from 100% to 0% from central impact, and reduced Zoom.
• Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
• Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 20 headshots will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
  • Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either  Sonar or  Detect Vulnerability in places other than heads will have no effect either.
  • Headshots on corpses do not build charges.
  • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
• Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Burston's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 30 rounds to a maximum of 600. Once all ammunition is expended, the Burston reverts to its normal form.
  • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
  • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as  Energized Munitions).
  • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
• Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

Evolution II

• Unlock Challenge: Complete a solo mission with this weapon equipped.
• Perk 1: Forceful Finality:
  • Increase Damage by +42.
  • +5 Multishot on final magazine burst.
    • Multishot bonus is added before mods, and is thus multiplied by multishot bonuses.
    • Multishot bonus does not affect the Incarnon form.
• Perk 2: Fortress Salvo:
  • Increase Damage by +42.
  • With Armor Over 450: +2 Punch Through.

Evolution III

• Unlock Challenge: Kill 100 enemies with this weapon's Incarnon Form.
• Perk 1: Extended Volley:
  • Increase Magazine Capacity by +21.
• Perk 2: Ready Retaliation:
  • On Reload From Empty: +100% Reload Speed.
• Perk 3: Kinetic Battle:
  • -50% Weapon Recoil.

Evolution IV

• Unlock Challenge: Get 40 headshots in Incarnon form in a single mission.
• Perk 1: Reaver's Rapture:
  • On Full Burst Hit: +20% Damage, resets on Reload.
    • Caps at 5x for +100% damage, additive with base damage mods such as  Serration.
    • Burst condition is not affected by multishot or punch through, but counts object hits such as nullifier bubbles, and activates even if the first hit of a burst kills the target.
    • Resets when activating incarnon, and cannot be stacked in Incarnon form.
• Perk 2: Absolute Valor:
  • Increase Critical Chance by +22%.
• Perk 3: Fatal Affliction:
  • +40% Direct Damage per Status Type affecting the target.

Known Bugs

• Evolution III: Ready Retaliation is always active and doesn't require reloading from empty.
•  Galvanized Aptitude and Evolution IV: Fatal Affliction behave the same way and ignore the innate damage of both Evolution II perks.
  • Both scale off of the original 46 damage or 13 if using incarnon form.
