The Simulor is a Cephalon weapon that launches orbs of gravitational force. These orbs can be manipulated to produce either explosions or implosions, where stacking multiple orbs creates a vortex. Orbs can be manually detonated with Alternative Fire.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals equal physical damage types with orbs, the merge explosion deals
Magnetic damage, and the orb explosion deals 25 Electricity damage. - Orbs will merge on contact, growing larger and producing an explosion with a guaranteed Magnetic proc. The pull radius also increases on merge.
- Merging will increase the damage dealt by the recipient orb, both when merging and on manual detonation.
- Without obstructions, the orbs will travel a distance of 12 meters before floating.
- Orbs will expire after 8 seconds. Merging orbs will reset the timer.
- Alternative Fire will detonate all active orbs with a guaranteed Electricity proc, dealing 75 Electricity damage at base and 225 Electricity at a full stack.
Advantages:
- Pinpoint accuracy.
- Detonation nature of the weapon allows for setting up traps for your enemies.
Disadvantages:
- Slow reload speed.
- Relatively short firing range.
- Direct impacts with the orbs with enemies do not deal any damage, they must be combined at least once to deal any damage.
- Extremely ammo inefficient; requires just 1 reload to fully deplete all ammo reserves.

Notes[]
- Stacking will increase the damage dealt by the recipient orb, both when merging with another orb and when manually detonated. The minimum base damage starts at 20 on the first stack, and maxes out at 50 after 3 stacks.
Tips[]
- Combining projectiles have a larger blast radius (~5m vs ~7m) and deal significantly more damage (~60 vs ~170) than detonating orbs, making orb combination a primary source of damage.
- Detonating orbs manually can be used for crowd control, as their guaranteed Electricity status can stun enemies even if they don't deal enough damage to kill them.
- Attempting to create a second singularity this way usually results in the destruction of the first.
Trivia[]
- The Simulor is the first Syndicate weapon to be sold from its affiliated Syndicate with a blueprint, not the weapon itself. Second being Heliocor.
- It is the first primary Syndicate weapon to be released.
- It is also the first weapon to be released for Cephalon Simaris.
- It is also the only Syndicate weapon that may be purchased from the Market for Platinum.
- It is also the first Syndicate weapon to be improved by another Syndicate, resulting in the Synoid Simulor.
- Being a weapon created by Cephalons, the Simulor has a similar design aesthetic to the Gammacor, with both being research devices that also double as weapons.
