Aeolak is a rifle repurposed by the Void's Thrax Legates. Its primary fire shoots highly accurate fully-automatic rounds while its Alternate Fire doubles as a grenade launcher.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals primarily
Puncture damage on its primary fire and Blast damage on its Alternate Fire. - Alternate Fire charges a powerful round that explodes.
- Shots explode in a 7 meter radius on impact with a surface or enemy.
- Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
- Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
- Can benefit from Firestorm ( Primed) and Cautious Shot.
- Charge time is not affected by fire rate mods.
- Projectile is unaffected by Punch Through.
- Charge is automatic and does not need to be held down.
- Unless held down, the weapon fires as soon as it has reached a full charge, which can lead to premature firing.

Notes[]
- The Aeolak's ability to act both as an assault rifle and as a grenade launcher makes the gun somewhat functionally similar to the Corpus Tenet Tetra and Stahlta, and the Entrati Trumna.
Trivia[]
- Artwork for the Aeolak was first showcased during TennoCon 2019.[1]
- Accredited to 3D artists Tim Bergholz, Kaz Adams, and Lucas Hug and concept artists Keith Thompson and Lucas Hug.
- Aeolak appears to be a Void-warped version of the Gotva Prime, or of one in a related weapon family, as it differs in mechanics and subtle visual details. It first appeared in the Awakening cinematic and later released in Hotfix 33.6.6 (2023-08-25), serving as a standard issue weapon for Orokin Era Grineer.
Known Bugs[]
- Manually reloading after using the alt fire will make the weapon default to a soundless Braton style reload. The Kuva Hek shares this bug.
- Galvanized Aptitude is multiplicative to base damage sources on direct shots.

Patch History[]
Update 35.5 (2024-03-27)
- Fixed the littlest typo in Aeolak weapon passive description.
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Ammo Changes
We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.
Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.
Primary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides
40 Ammo per Pick Up:
- Aeolak
- Headshot Damage Changes
During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.
Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.
- Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
- This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.
Hotfix 31.6.2 (2022-06-15)
- Fixed Aeolak’s magazine getting stuck in hand if the reload animation gets interrupted.
Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)
- Terminal Velocity is now compatible with the Aeolak.
- Fixed the Aeolak not playing the proper reload animation when the last shot in the magazine is from its alt fire.
- Fixed Aeolak’s Riven disposition being 1.25 instead of 0.5.
- For more information on how we treat Riven dispositions for new weapons, read our Riven Disposition Guidelines.
Hotfix 31.5.6 (2022-05-04)
- Fixed being able to sell Aeolak components for Ducats.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- Introduced.
