Notes
- The Deconstructor is a glaive type melee weapon and therefore accepts thrown melee weapon exclusive mods like Power Throw and Whirlwind.
- Although listed as having only Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., each disk thrown is Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., then Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. in sequence. This is the only weapon with multiple projectile types like this and the in-game stats can not currently show this.
- The Deconstructor may only be used by the Helios sentinel - an exception applies when using the loadout randomiser, which can combine the Deconstructor with other sentinels.
- Currently, the ways to increase the damage of the Deconstructor are to increase its overall damage with a Pressure Point or Spoiled Strike mod, increase its base physical damage through physical damage mods (such as Heavy Trauma, Jagged Edge, or Sundering Strike), or add elemental mods. ("Smite" faction damage mods need to be tested.)
- It aims at enemies' heads (if humanoid), and consistently scores headshots.
- It can miss if an enemy is knocked down by still attempting to shoot where their head should be.
- Appears to have a significant chance to target and track additional enemies on the initial hit, so long as the enemy is within a 45 degree cone from the initial target. (requires further testing).
- It is considered a Melee weapon and although the projectile makes sound, it is actually Silent, and therefore does not alert enemies.
Trivia
- The Deconstructor is the first Sentinel weapon to be classified as a melee weapon.
Bugs
- In some cases Helios's components may continue to orbit around you and will only return if you move to a different location.
