CODEX

When fully charged, this flak-cannon delivers a devastating shot. Perfect for taking down fast-moving interceptors.

The Corvas flak cannon is a heavy shotgun designed for exclusive use with the Archwing flight system, introduced in Update 15.0 (2014-10-24). It can be rapidly fired to saturate an area with pellets or charged to release a more powerful scattershot.

Notes

• Despite the weapon's animation showing projectiles when firing, the Corvas is a hitscan weapon. Additionally, Corvas fires multiple pellets in a scattershot pattern like most shotguns, despite its animation showing it firing only a single shot.

Tips

• As a shotgun-like weapon, the Corvas is best used when engaging enemies at close range, where its scattershot spread can be used to deliver massive damage against enemy units.
  • As the Corvas shoots multiple pellets in a wide area at once, it is more effective at shooting down enemy missile volleys from Hellion Dargyns and Shield-Hellion Dargyns.

Trivia

• Corvas is derived from corvus, the Latin term for crow, a bird commonly viewed as a harbinger of death and destruction on battlefields in many northern European cultures.
• Prior to Hotfix 15.3.3 (2014-11-25), the charged mode was not working. Firing at objects at various ranges yielded no difference in the shot spread pattern and damage regardless of whether one charged the weapon or not.
• The Ceramica Collection seems to be fashioned after the Corvas; the Pandero Ceramica Skin in particular bearing a striking resemblance.

Media

• The Corvas.

Patch History

Hotfix 24.2.4 (2018-12-19)

• Arch-Gun Ammo pool increased by 2x for all Arch-Guns in Atmosphere mode.
• Arch-Gun Deployer cooldown has been reduced to 5 minutes instead of 10.
• Fixed Clients not hearing the Atmosphere Arch-Gun equip sound.

Update 24.2 (2018-12-18)
‘ATMOSPHERE’ ARCH-GUN WEAPONS
It’s time we equipped some serious floor firepower! All Arch-Guns can be used on the ground - or as we like to call it ‘Atmosphere’ - with the use of a ‘Gravimag’. Gravimag is obtained from Clan Research, or as a one-time reward from the Orb Heist Phase 3 Bounty, and can be installed on any Arch-Gun (with an Orokin Catalyst installed) via the Upgrade Arsenal - similar to installing a Catalyst.

Comparable to the Archwing and K-Drive Launchers, a respective Gear item known as the Archweapon Deployer is required to activate your Atmosphere Arch-Gun. The Archweapon Deployer can be obtained by completing the Orb Heist Phase 3 Bounty.

Atmosphere Arch-Gun General Changes:

• Atmosphere Arch-Guns consume Ammo as opposed to unlimited Ammo/Battery in Archwing. Specifically new Heavy Ammo Drops which can be found from Corpus enemies in Orb Heist missions. Heavy Ammo Drops also reset the 10 minute cool-down when picked up, or replenish Ammo if needed.
• Atmosphere Arch-Gun can be summoned in normal missions with the Archweapon Deployer, but once Ammo has been depleted there is a 10 minute cool-down until you can summon again. The intent here is to allow you moments of beefy damage output, and not become just another Primary/Secondary weapon. 

All stat changes are for Atmosphere Arch-Gun mode, Mastery Rank changes are global:

• Mastery Rank increased from 0 to 1.
• Damage increased from 35 to 40
• Critical Chance increased from 15% to 40%.
• Critical Damage increased from 2x to 2.6x.
• Status Chance increased from 10% to 14%.
• Ammo Capacity set at 50.
• Damage fall off reduced from 100-350 to 60-120.
• Reload speed set at 2 seconds.

Update 15.0 (2014-10-24)

• Introduced.
