Laser Rifle with Corpus safe-guards removed.

The Flux Rifle is a Corpus laser rifle used by Elite Crewmen, unlockable through Energy Lab Research in the Dojo. A continuous weapon, the Flux Rifle fires a sustained beam with high Slash damage, enabling it to slice through flesh with ease. It also features a battery that automatically regenerates ammo after the user stops firing for a second.

This weapon can be sold for 7,500‍7,500.

CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.

Advantages:

High Slash damage – effective against health.
High status chance.
- Can reach 100% status chance using Flux Overdrive and two of the following: High Voltage, Malignant Force, Rime Rounds, Thermite Rounds.
Pinpoint accuracy.
- Heavy Caliber's accuracy penalty is minimal on this weapon.
Innate 0.5 meter punch through.
High fire rate.
Large magazine size.
Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
- Has a 1 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
  - Regenerates 40 ammo per second; takes 1.25 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted battery excluding the delay.
Can use the Flux Rifle-exclusive Flux Overdrive mod.

Disadvantages:

Low Puncture and no Impact damage – less effective against armor and shields.
Damage ramps up from 25% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 25% over 2 seconds.
Low critical chance.
Thin continuous short range laser, requires precise aiming.
- Staggered opponents may 'jump' out of user's crosshair.
Limited range of 30 meters.
Does not benefit from mods that increase maximum ammo, due to lack of an ammo pool.
Does not receive benefit from reload-triggered mods such as Spring-Loaded Chamber.

TipsEdit

Similar to Ramparts and all Arch-guns, ammo starts to automatically regenerate after 1 second of not firing the weapon. This regeneration delay is affected by reload speed mods like Fast Hands. The regeneration rate is 40 ammo per second.
- The reload speed can also be increased by using a Toxin-based Elemental Ward or being under the effect of Speed or Penance.
The Flux Rifle has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it an ideal candidate for a Desecrate Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
Its base damage in every tick is around 33 points, but this expends 2 rounds of ammunition. However, its total damage every second is 200, counteracting the ammo consumption of 12 per second. The Flux Rifle's Fire Rate is said to be 10.8.
Split Chamber works very well for the Flux Rifle, doubling the damage for 90% of ticks.
Metal Auger and/or Shred makes the Flux Rifle much better for dealing with crowds; simply line yourself up so you hit multiple enemies at once to save ammo.
Heavy Caliber will greatly reduce the accuracy and is not recommended if Flux Rifle is used for headshots.
Because the 50 shots count as part of a single magazine rather than an ammo pool, mods like Ammo Drum have no effect.

NotesEdit

Can dismember and slice enemies, making it easier to cut through a line of enemies instead of firing at their corpses prematurely.
- This also helps with Desecrating corpses.
As of Update 9, the laser graphic now lines up properly with the target reticle; as well as increasing damage from 80/s to 200/s with increased ammo drain.

TriviaEdit

The Flux Rifle currently does not follow the Corpus weapon naming convention; typically a Latin word with two syllables ending in an "a", and is the first to do so. Others include the Detron and Amprex.
When initially introduced, the Flux Rifle's description was, amusingly, simply "FLUX RIFLE", presumably a developer oversight.
The Flux Rifle has a smaller version in the form of the Spectra, introduced in Update 9.
The beam of the Flux Rifle bears cosmetic similarity to the Orokin Tower Death Orb laser beams.
- It is likely that both this gun and the Fusion MOA's main weapon were attempts to replicate this technology.
Amusingly enough, the Flux Rifle itself was never used by the Corpus until the Operation: Arid Fear introduced Elite Crewmen, several months after this gun was added.
Up until Hotfix 11.3.3, Speed Trigger, Shred, Critical Delay and Vile Precision (all of which influence fire rate one way or another) had little (if any) impact on the rate at which the Flux Rifle consumed ammunition. This also held true for other continuous-fire weapons at the time ( Ignis, Synapse, etc.)

BugsEdit

While using Shade, holding down the fire button and then proceeding close to enemies will cloak you, and you will continue to be cloaked until your magazine is drained and you must reload. This tactic uses ammo very quickly but may be useful against heavy opponents as you can inflict heavy damage without them retaliating. If you wish to use this tactic, equip Magazine Warp and/or Wildfire to increase the duration of the time spent cloaked before having to reload.
During a solo mission when the game is paused while firing the Flux Rifle, one can see both the flash and beam of the gun blinking.
- This can possibly be an image force, due to the format of moving pictures such as GIF in the image programming that forces the gun to have this effect.
