Puncture Damage

Puncture Damage is one of the three physical damage types. It is highly effective against Grineer Armor and Corpus Robotics, but suffers against Corpus shields.

Status EffectsEdit

Puncture damage's status effect is Weakened, causing the victim's attacks to deal 30% less damage over 6 seconds. Additional procs will only refresh the duration. Affected enemies will have a yellow aura.

Enemies killed by a Puncture proc may have a large bloody hole on where they were hit by the killing blow.

Type EffectivenessEdit

Grineer Health	Puncture Modifier	Corpus Health	Puncture Modifier	Infested Health	Puncture Modifier
Cloned Flesh		Flesh		Infested
Ferrite Armor	+50%	Shield	–20%	Infested Flesh
Alloy Armor	+15%	Proto Shield	–50%	Fossilized
Machinery		Robotic	+25%	Sinew	+25%

As with all damage types effective against armor,  Puncture damage's type modifier works in two ways: it ignores a percentage of the target's armor, and increases the damage dealt in the same way as a type modifier against hitpoints. Practically speaking, this means that Puncture​ damage is only reduced by 50% of a target's whole Ferrite Armor and the base damage is increased by +50%. Similarly,  Puncture​ damage is only reduced by 85% of a target's whole Alloy Armor and the base damage is increased by +15%.

Puncture Damage WeaponsEdit

These weapons deal more than a majority of their physical damage as Puncture. The damage ratio is important for physical damage status effects, because the game weights the likelihood of which proc occurs according to physical damage ratio. Hence, these weapons proc Weakened more than Knockback or Bleed.
