CODEX

Designed to quickly vaporize minerals for content analysis, users discovered its powerful beam was equally efficient at dispatching hostiles.

The Gammacor is a Cephalon designed wrist-mounted laser that deals  Magnetic damage, making it ideal for tackling the Corpus. Although it is pinpoint accurate, its limited range means that players will have to close the distance to get the most out of this weapon.

The Gammacor is a requisite ingredient for the  Heliocor.

Characteristics

This weapon deals  Magnetic damage.

Advantages:

• Innate  Magnetic damage – effective against shields.
• Pinpoint accuracy.
• High reload speed.
• Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
• Comes with a polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Magnetic damage – less effective against health.
  • Damage cannot be converted with  Slash,  Impact or  Puncture mods.
• 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.
• Limited range of 25 meters.

Comparisons:

•  Gammacor (Normal Attack), compared to  Synoid Gammacor (Normal Attack):
  • Higher base damage per projectile (20.00 vs. 19.00)
    • Higher  Magnetic damage ( 20 vs. 19)
  • Higher total damage (20 vs. 19)
  • Higher average damage per tap (20 vs. 19)
  • Higher burst DPS (240 vs. 228)
  • Higher sustained DPS (169.01 vs. 148.05)
  • Faster reload time (1.40 s vs. 1.80 s)
  • Less polarities ( vs. )
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (2 vs. 7)

Notes

• The Gammacor's beam when fired does not immediately hit at its maximum range, instead it takes around half a second to extend to its maximum range, and will maintain that range as long as the weapon is being fired. The beam retracts when the weapon stops firing.

Trivia

• Unlike most secondary weapons, the Gammacor is worn like a gauntlet on the Warframe's right arm.
  • However, Warframes will still extend their right index finger as if they're holding a single pistol. Idle animations will also play as though the Gammacor is a single pistol.
• This is the second weapon (along with its Synoid variant) released that has an innate  Magnetic damage (with the first being the Velocitus), but is the first to ever be used for general gameplay, as opposed to being limited to Archwing missions.
• The metallic structure (the primary part on the color setting) has a purplish tint.
• The circular holograms expand as the weapon is being fired.
• The weapon's design suggests that it may have originally been a device created by Cephalon Simaris, due to its aesthetic similarities to other devices in his employ like the Synthesis Scanner, which appears to use the same parts.
  • This is furthered by the fact that the Codex states that it was "Designed to quickly vaporize minerals for content analysis."
