CODEX

Capable of firing multiple rockets at once, the Angstrum is a handheld instrument of destruction.

The Angstrum is a heavy pistol of Corpus design that fires tiny but powerful rockets. Its charge-based trigger allows for firing precise single shots, or emptying the entire magazine as a spread barrage for engaging single heavy targets or large groups. It was released in Update 13.3.

Characteristics

This weapon deals Blast damage.

Advantages:

• Tied with Prisma Angstrum for highest base damage of all secondaries.
  • Innate Blast damage - effective against shields.
• High accuracy.
• Shoots rockets that explode in a 3-meter radius.
• Can be charged to unload more of the weapon's magazine and fire extra projectiles.
  • Can be fired with a partial charge to fire only part of its magazine.
• Has a polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Innate Blast damage - less effective against health.
• Projectiles have travel time, slow speed, and are small, making long range shots difficult.
• Charged barrage spreads rockets out, reducing the effective range considerably.
• Explosions inflicts self-damage (however it is very minor).
  • Rockets can explode on hitting teammates.
• Very high recoil.
• The weapon fires as soon as it has reached a full charge, which can lead to premature firing.
• Extremely ammo inefficient.
  • Extremely low magazine size of 3 rounds; requires frequent reloading.
    • Fully charged shot consumes the entire magazine, even when magazine mods are used.
  • Very low ammo capacity of 9 rounds.
• Fairly slow reload speed.
• Rockets have a short delay after firing before being able to fire again.
• Enemies can destroy the rockets with gunfire or area of effect explosions.

Comparisons:

• Angstrum, compared to Prisma Angstrum:
  • Lower attack damage (44.4 vs. 47.0)
  • Slower charge time (1.5 s vs. 0.6 s)
  • Lower area attack damage (44.4 vs. 47.0)
  • Lower secondary attack damage (133.2 vs. 141.0)
  • Slower reload speed (2.5 s vs. 1.8 s)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (4 vs. 8)

Notes

• Tapping the fire button will let out a single, very accurate rocket which can be used to pick off targets from long or medium range; or be held halfway or fully to release half or the entire magazine respectively, which will cause a wide spread of rockets to cover large groups at closer ranges.
• Use the reload button or change weapon to cancel charge to avoid unwanted shots.
• The Angstrum's charge cannot be held. The weapon fires as soon as it is fully charged.
• Constantly tapping the fire button will not cause this weapon to stall like the Ogris. If you accidentally begin charging the weapon, you can stop the shot simply by spamming your charge button and hitting reload while you prevent the weapon from releasing a rocket.
  • There is a delay between pressing the fire button, and the rocket actually being ejected. pressing the fire button again before it is ejected will cancel the ejection-jamming like the Ogris.
• Unlike a shotgun which shoots a completely random spread, the Angstrum is shown to form a geometrical structure (depending on the grenade quantity) of:
  • One - A single accurate shot.
  • Two - Two separate horizontal shots.
  • Three - A triangle.

Tips

• Increasing the magazine size will result in a higher projectile count when firing a totally charged shot. Bear in mind that increasing the magazine size will also increase the time it takes to charge the shot.

Bugs

• When using Ivara's ability Navigator on the Angstrum's rockets, they travel extremely slow, rendering them effectively useless.
  • Firing Angstrum first and then activating Navigator works normally.
• If your charge time drops below 1.0, you will not be able to shoot the last shot in the magazine regardless of fully charging or clicking once to discharge the round.

Trivia

• The Angstrum's name is derived from Angstrom, which is a unit of measurement that is 0.1 nanometers in length.
• This weapon appears to be of Corpus design, making it their second explosive weapon following the Penta.
• When charging, the rockets in the chamber lower into the gun itself.
• The Angstrum's concept of a conventional-appearing weapon (pistol in this case) firing rockets is similar to that of the Gyrojet from the 1960s.
• Its boxy design is similar to the IMI Uzi MP-2 machine pistol, including the way the weapon can be held.
