Notes[]

Incarnon Genesis[]

Evolution[]

  • Installing the Gorgon Incarnon Genesis requires 20 PathosClamp Pathos Clamps, 60 RuneMarrow Rune Marrow, and 60 TasomaExtract Tasoma Extract.
  • When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;

Evolution I[]

  • Weakpoint hit charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
  • Fire embedding projectiles that explode with DmgFireSmall64 Heat Damage
    • Incarnon Form shoots a time-delayed explosive projectile, dealing a spread of DmgImpactSmall64 Impact, DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture, and DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage upon impact. After a short delay, it detonates with an explosion radius of 5 meters, dealing DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage with guaranteed DmgFireSmall64 Heat status, but has linear Damage Falloff from 100% to 90% from central impact.
  • Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
  • Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticle by achieving weakpoint hits and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 30 weakpoints will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
    • Charges do not generate on the backpacks of most MOA variants, or vulnerability spots generated by Sonar130xWhite Sonar or Mod TT 20px Detect Vulnerability in places other than actual weakpoints.
    • Weakpoints on corpses or Invulnerable targets do not build charges.
    • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
  • Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Gorgon's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 0.66 rounds to a maximum of 20. Once all ammunition is expended, the Gorgon reverts to its normal form.
    • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
    • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as EnergizedMunitions130xWhite Energized Munitions).
    • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
  • Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

  • Perk 3: Absolute Valor:
    • Increase Critical Chance by +14% (Gorgon) / +14 (Wraith) / +6% (Prisma)

Tips[]

  • After the spool-up time, it is possible to use the Gorgon in quick short bursts, allowing you to keep up the high rate of fire, but with less recoil and less bullets wasted, making the Gorgon usable at medium to medium-long ranges.
  • You can retain the "charge" of the fire rate by sprinting. This way the weapon stops shooting, but as long as you keep LMB  held down, the fire rate will not reset and the weapon will resume fast firing once you stop sprinting.
  • Use the Mod TT 20px Rifle Ammo Mutation mod or the Carrier Sentinel equipped with Mod TT 20px Ammo Case to compensate for lost ammo due to the weapon's high rate of fire consuming ammunition on full spool.
  • Mod TT 20px Speed Trigger decreases the charge time considerably, though the increased maximum fire rate causes the weapon to burn through ammo reserves extremely quickly and cause more misses as the recoil throws bullets out more. Consider firing in bursts.

Trivia[]

  • The Gorgon Wraith was first introduced during the Tethra's Doom event, awarded for scoring 500+ points in a hijack mission, complete with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
  • The Gorgon Wraith was awarded again from an alert in the Infested Nightmares Bonus Weekend, once again with a free weapon slot, but did not come with a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
  • On May 9, 2017, Hotfix 20.4.4 (2017-05-08) and Hotfix 20.4.5 (2017-05-09), a bug allowed Gorgon Wraith parts to drop from Jackal. This was a very short-lived bug, but dissemination of information on the forum allowed many users to learn of and exploit this bug before DE quickly corrected it. The parts and weapon were not removed from users' inventories.
  • The Gorgon Wraith is the second Primary Wraith weapon ever released, following the StrunWraith Strun Wraith.
  • The Gorgon Wraith only has an upgrade in stats and comes with no default polarities.
  • The Gorgon Wraith can use both the Desert Tactics skin and the Day of the Dead skin.
