Strike with silent lightning or the pummeling drum of thunder. Alternate between stealthy short-range electrical discharge, and automatic lightning gun. Faster mode-switch when used by Wisp.
For the mod, see Fulmination.

The Fulmin is WispIcon272 Wisp's signature rifle. By default it fires silent Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. pulses at close range akin to the ArcaPlasmor Arca Plasmor, but via Alternate Fire it can be converted into an automatic weapon that shoots a rapid stream of lightning at a distance. The mode-switching is sped up when used by Wisp.

Tips

Trivia

  • Fulmin is derived from fulmen, the Latin word for lightning. It is the root of the English word Fulmination.
  • The Fulmin has a unique weapon animation when switching to automatic mode, where the suppressor portion of the weapon is removed and then placed to the side of the weapon.

    • The Fulmin's suppressor is held in the Warframe's hand if the player brings up the Main Menu while the weapon is in automatic mode.

Bugs

  • Sometimes when switching modes quickly the position of the hand and the silencer will bug, combining the silencer with the gun and positioning the players hand as if it was in the semi mode.
