The Cortege is an 
Orokin Era weapon created by the 
Entrati, a beam Arch-gun that builds charges on kills to allow use of the Alternate Fire, a trio of grenades that leaves lingering flames.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals primarily
Heat damage on its primary fire and Blast damage on its Alternate Fire. - Primary fire releases a flamethrower-like beam.
- Pinpoint accuracy.
- Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
- Beam has a cone thickness of 1m to 4m meters, and the zone of impact or maximum beam range has a spherical blast radius of 3 meters, allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once.
- The Atmospheric beam has innate infinite punch through against bodies.
- No damage falloff in Archwing Mode.
- Getting 5 kills with the Cortege's primary fire will unlock an Alternate Fire that releases a trio of grenades that explodes in an 4 meter radius on impacting a surface or when remotely detonated with Alternate Fire, leaving lingering flames that deal continuous damage for 11 seconds.
- Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
- Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.

Acquisition[]
The Cortege main blueprint can be acquired by reaching Rank 3 - Clearance: Odima with the 
Necraloid. The main blueprint is offered as a rank up reward, but Loid sells additional main blueprints for 
8,000. Components are crafted from blueprints that can be acquired for 4,000 each after reaching Rank 2 - Clearance: Modus with the syndicate. Once crafted, it comes with a pre-installed Gravimag.
Additionally requires Rank 2 - Visitor with 
Ostron in order to acquire 
Fersteel Alloy required in its construction.
The Damaged Necramech Weapon parts are acquired from Normal and Arcana Isolation Vault Bounty rewards.
The Damaged Necramech Weapon parts and fully built Cortege components can be traded between players. Trading for fully built components will bypass the need for Ostron's Fersteel Alloy.

- Primary-fire cone thickness of 1m - 4m grows linearly with range and always has a 4m spherical radius at the end-point of the beam, therefore the maximum effective range can reach up to 32m while the beam itself ends at 28m.
- The initial shot briefly has the 4m radius centered on the barrel, striking enemies behind the player.
Trivia[]
- Cortège is a French term referring to processions. Its antiquated use as a loaned word in the English language though equated it with funeral processions exclusively.
- During the Heart of Deimos quest, the enemy Necramech wields a Cortege during cutscenes, and at one point fires Mausolon-like full-auto rounds. However, when fought it is armed with a Mausolon instead.
