Acquisition

This weapon was awarded from Operation: The Pacifism Defect event. The exact form in which the weapon can be acquired differs depending on the level of participation during the event:

• All participating players in Clans that achieved the specified Clan Participation Score (e.g. 260 for Ghost clans) received an Ignis Wraith blueprint at the end of the event.
• All players in a Clan that achieved the specified Victory Score during the event (e.g. 4,000 for Ghost clans) immediately received a complete Ignis Wraith with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
• Clans that place within the Top 10% scoring clans within their tier received the Ignis Wraith as a Research in the Chem Lab at the end of the event.

The Ignis Wraith can also be purchased unranked from the Void Trader Baro Ki'Teer for 250,000 Credits 250,000 and 550  550. Note however that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and may not have this item available at every time.

The blueprint can be traded, although the recipient must have a Mastery Rank of at least 9.

Characteristics

This weapon deals damage.

Advantages:

• Innate damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• Good critical chance.
• High critical multiplier.
• Very high status chance.
• Pinpoint accuracy.
  •  Heavy Caliber's accuracy penalty is minimal on this weapon.
• Large magazine size.
• High ammo capacity.
• Beam has a thickness of 0.15 meters, and the zone of impact or maximum beam range has a spherical blast radius of 3 meters (affected by  Firestorm), allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once.
  • Largest beam thickness of all continuous weapons.
• Innate infinite Punch Through against bodies.
• Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.

Disadvantages:

• Innate damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
  • Damage cannot be increased with , or mods.
• Damage ramps up from 35% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 35% over 2 seconds.
• Limited beam range of 27 meters (+3m blast radius resulting in a total range of 30m).
• Innate Punch Through does not apply to objects/surfaces, requiring Punch Through mods such as  Shred. This can also be an advantage in certain situations because there is no spherical blast at the Punch-Through location, similar to other specialized launcher weapons.

Comparisons:

•  Ignis Wraith (Normal Attack), compared to  Ignis (Normal Attack):
  • Higher base damage per projectile (35.00 vs. 33.00)
    • Higher  Heat damage ( 35 vs. 33)
  • Higher total damage (35 vs. 33)
  • Higher base critical chance (17.00% vs. 11.00%)
  • Higher base critical multiplier (2.50x vs. 2.00x)
  • Higher base status chance (29.00% vs. 27.00%)
  • Higher average damage per tap (43.92 vs. 36.63)
  • Higher burst DPS (351.4 vs. 293.04)
  • Higher sustained DPS (339.84 vs. 278.20)
  • Larger magazine (200 vs. 150)
  • More shots per magazine (400 vs. 300)
  • Larger max ammo capacity (200 vs. 150)
  • Faster reload time (1.70 s vs. 2.00 s)
  • Higher Mastery Rank required (9 vs. 5)
  • Lower disposition (●○○○○ (0.55x) vs. ●○○○○ (0.60x))
  • Longer reach (27 meters vs 20 meters)

Notes

Ignis Wraith's hitboxes, as of U22.13.3. Note that the initial cylindrical AoE (red) was removed in 22.14.0 in an undocumented change.

• The Ignis Wraith's hit detection is composed of two parts:
  • A perfectly accurate central beam that reaches up to 27 meters. This beam has a 0.15-meter thickness, unlike other beam weapons whose beams are very narrow.
  • A 3-meter spherical radius that appears at the zone of impact or maximum range.
  • Range of beam thickness and the area of effect are unaffected by  Sinister Reach.
• When combined with other elemental mods, such as , it will no longer deal the original fire damage, losing its high bonus versus Light Infested (+50%). Thus, it is advised to add damage to create damage to kill Light Infested. Add + to create damage, and add to create damage to kill Heavy Infested.
• The Ignis Wraith's spherical AoE can destroy rockets launched from a Bombard's  Ogris.
  • This only works if the Ignis deals or damage. Building for or will not produce this effect.
• The Ignis Wraith can deal headshots and target enemy weak spots.

Tips

•  Hellfire and  Wildfire apply fire elemental mod damage to the weapon. They do not act like base damage mods, but rather stack with the innate damage of the weapon.
• Adding , , or  in addition to damage makes the Ignis very effective versus Grineer / Corpus / Infested, though less effective against Corpus Proto Shields.
• It is a wise idea to equip a long-ranged weapon in your secondary slot when using the Ignis Wraith.
• It is unwise to have Specters equip this gun as they only fire on targets when they are ~10m away from them.
•  Combustion Beam can be equipped to the Ignis Wraith, causing enemies to deal damage on death to other nearby enemies. This aids in crowd control and quicker elimination of weaker and closely-grouped enemies.
• Due to its nature of AoE, this weapon is particularly effective against destructible projectiles.
• Adding  Heavy Caliber as a second  Serration results in an increase of damage. The reduction of accuracy will cause the beam to slightly waver, which is a negative for most weapons, but is arguably a benefit for the Ignis as the effective AoE spread will widen slightly.
  • The loss in accuracy is small enough that the central beam will still land headshots consistently at maximum distance, even with  Sinister Reach equipped.
• The Ignis Wraith is designed to deal with crowds, spreading low damage but hitting all enemies in range, where most other weapons (besides explosive dealing AoE weapons) are single or multi-target. In other words, the larger the crowd, the better the weapon becomes at distributing damage compared to most other weapons.
• The Ignis Wraith is very useful in reactor core Sabotage missions, as its spherical AoE allows it to destroy several exposed reactor cores at once.
• Shade's  Ghost can activate even if the Ignis Wraith is being fired, so long as the fire key is held down upon Ghost's activation.
  • This is more effective on the Wraith variant, as it has 50 more magazine capacity over the original, allowing more time to be cloaked and deal damage.
•  Sinister Reach can also be equipped on the Ignis Wraith, greatly increasing the range of its central beam. This will also move the spherical AoE forward by the same distance.
• The radius of the spherical AoE can be increased with  Firestorm.

Trivia

• The Ignis Wraith was hinted at by a forum post sent by Rebecca Ford regarding the then-upcoming The Pacifism Defect event that was an Acrostic, a form of writing where the first letter of each line spells out a word or words. The message, with the first letter of each line bolded for clarity, read as follows;
