Characteristics[]
This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.
Advantages:
- High
Slash damage – effective against health and shields (although Puncture and Impact is much better against the respective damage classes). - Pinpoint accuracy.
- Innate 0.5 meter punch through.
- High fire rate.
- Large magazine size.
- Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
- Has a 1 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
- Regenerates 40 ammo per second; takes 0.5 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted battery excluding the delay.
- Has a 1 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
- Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
Disadvantages:
- Low Puncture and no Impact damage.
- Damage ramps up from 25% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 25% over 2 seconds.
- Thin continuous short range laser, requires precise aiming.
- Limited range of 20 meters.
Tips[]
- Similar to Ramparts and all Archguns, ammo starts to automatically regenerate after 1 seconds of not firing the weapon.
- The reload speed can also be increased by using a Toxin-based Elemental Ward or being under the effect of Speed or Penance.
- The reload speed can also be increased by using a Toxin-based
- Its base damage in every tick is around 33 points, but this expends 2 rounds of ammunition. However, its total damage every second is 200, counteracting the ammo consumption of 12 per second. The Flux Rifle's Fire Rate is said to be 10.8.
Notes[]
- As of Update 9, the laser graphic is now lines up properly with the target reticle; as well as increasing damage from 80/s to 200/s with increased ammo drain.
Trivia[]
- The Flux Rifle currently does not follow the Corpus weapon naming convention; typically a Latin word with two syllables ending in an "a", and is the first to do so. Others include the Detron and Amprex.
- When initially introduced, the Flux Rifle's description was, amusingly, simply "FLUX RIFLE", presumably a developer oversight.
- The Flux Rifle has a smaller version in the form of the Spectra, introduced in Update 9.
- The beam of the Flux Rifle bears cosmetic similarity to the Orokin Tower Death Orb laser beams.
- It is likely that both this gun and the Fusion MOA's main weapon were attempts to replicate this technology.
- Amusingly enough, the Flux Rifle itself was never used by the Corpus until the Operation: Arid Fear introduced Elite Crewmen, several months after this gun was added.
Bugs[]
- During a solo mission when the game is paused while firing the Flux Rifle, one can see both the flash and beam of the gun blinking.
- This can possibly be an image force, due to the format of moving pictures such as GIF in the image programming that forces the gun to have this effect.
