   Cold damage is less effective against Infested.
• Very low ammo efficiency.
• Limited range of around 25 meters.

Notes

• The Glaxion's beam has a maximum range of 25 meters.
• Like the Synapse, the Glaxion's beam has imperfect accuracy. Whilst this is not too much of an issue at shorter ranges, it may limit the weapon's effectiveness near the edge of its maximum range.
• The Glaxion is capable of freezing enemies solid with sustained fire if it kills them. Enemies will progressively turn icy blue (spreading from the point of contact), and eventually become completely solid upon death. Frozen enemies can then be shattered by other attacks. This only applies to normal enemies such as Lancers, Crewmen, and MOAs - Ospreys will simply explode upon death.
  • Even if the weapon is modified to have a non-

     Blast damage), the Glaxion will still freeze foes solid if it kills them.
• When combining elemental mods, the Glaxion's innate

   Cold damage is added last.
• The weapon fittingly requires a decent amount of Cryotic material to build. Currently however, Cryotic can no longer be obtained until the Excavation game mode is re-introduced into the game.

Tips

• Critical Delay and/or Vile Precision can help slow down the firerate of the weapon to allow better ammo efficiency, although the critical chance increase is minimal and the recoil decrease is ineffective as the weapon has little to no recoil.
  • Combining both mods maxed will result in the Glaxion's fire rate being reduced to 5.6 (12.8 fire rate with just Critical Delay) while increasing the critical chance to 7.4%.
• Tainted Mag can be used to increase the Glaxion's already impressive magazine capacity with little penalty due to the weapon's fast reload time; At maxed rank, Tainted Mag increases the weapon's reload time from 1.5s to 2s, while adding 198 additional rounds.
  • When further combined with maxed rank Magazine Warp and Wildfire mods, the Glaxion can have a magazine capacity of 648 rounds.
• The Glaxion's high fire rate and its low base damage make it highly ammo inefficient, consuming ammo at a fast rate. It is recommended to use Rifle Ammo Mutation or Rifle Scavenger to ensure a steady supply of ammo. Alternatively, bring Team Ammo Restores to help replenish lost ammo.

Trivia

• The Glaxion is the first weapon to deal pure

   Cold damage.
• Concept art for the Glaxion was first seen in Devstream 22 alongside concepts for what would eventually become the Grinlok, Marelok, and Attica.
• The revolver-style cartridges on the Glaxion's body spin during firing, though the magazine is the small (battery) box behind the trigger
• Enemies who die by the weapon are frozen solid, much like Frost's Avalanche ability, and shatter when hit by any weapon.
  • If frozen bodies are left alone for five seconds, the ice will thaw into nothingness.
• Glaxion bears similarity to the French word Glaçon, meaning "Ice Cube" or "Icicle".
