The Komorex is an Amalgam sniper rifle produced by the 
Corpus that incorporates 
Sentient technology in its design. Featuring a large magazine, high status chance, fast fire rate, two unique zoom modes for reduced recoil on the lowest zoom or boosted 
Viral damage explosion at max zoom, and innate 
Sniper Ammo Mutation, but suffers from having the lowest base damage and second lowest critical chance of any sniper rifle.

Notes[]
- The +100% damage from the 3.5x zoom bonus is actually +87 damage, not +100% base damage. This bonus damage is unaffected by elemental mods, such as Hellfire, and physical damage mods, such as Fanged Fusillade.
- Example: If you use Hellfire, an un-scoped Komorex will do 87 + 87 * 0.9 = 165.3 damage, of which 78.3 is Heat. This results in a Heat proc damage of ~83 damage.
- Using the 3.5x Zoom will only result in 87 + 87 * 0.9 + 87 = 252.3 damage, of which only 78.3 is Heat. This results in a Heat proc damage of ~126.
- Damage added matches the base damage distribution before mods.
- Example: If you use
- If punch through is added via mods, the explosion from the 3.5x zoom bonus will trigger only when the projectile hits a target it can't penetrate.
- Cannot equip Sniper Ammo Mutation or Primed Sniper Ammo Mutation.

Tips[]
- The innate Viral damage added on the max zoom option can allow it to more quickly deal with higher level Grineer and Corpus enemies, by modding the weapon with Corrosive or Toxin damage respectively. This will allow the viral damage to scale faster against armored enemies, and decimate Corpus through shields.
Trivia[]
- The Komorex's name may be a portmanteau of the words Komo (Hawaiian word for "enter", "go into", and "penetrate") and Rex (Latin word for "king").
- Alternatively, "Komorex" could be a portmanteau of Komodo dragon and tyrannosaurus rex. This is because a side view of the weapon has a faint resemblance to the profile of a reptilian head with jaws agape.
- The Komorex and Cyanex are the only two Energy Lab Research weapons with a 12 hour build time.
- Komorex has a unique reload animation where the Warframe grips the barrel and holds the gun vertically while folding the rod to eject the magazine, then holds the weapon at its base and adds a new clip which causes the gun to twirl twice.

Patch History[]
Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)
- Updated the muzzle flash position on the Komorex.
Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)
- Fixed Sniper Rifles with multishot projectiles (Komorex) behaving differently than hitscan Sniper Rifles and only counting bullets that cause damage for combo counting.
- Essentially, fixed projectile-based rifles counting every bullet individually for shot-combo mechanics when it comes to hits and misses. They now use the same rules as hitscan rifles which give you a combo stack for every bullet in your shot regardless of whether that bullet causes damage or not.
Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)
- Fixed Xaku’s Xata’s Whisper sometimes not applying its damage buff or Void Status Effect when using the Komorex.
Hotfix 27.2.2 (2020-03-06)
Reduced the following AoE weapons Radial Damage Falloff from central impact that were all previously 90%:
- Komorex: 40%
Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
- Self Damage Changes
We are getting rid of Self Damage and replacing it with something else: instead of Self Damage, it’s now ‘Stagger’. This change completely removes the chance of killing yourself, and instead now creates scenarios where you will interrupt yourself - or ‘Stagger’ - to varying degrees if you aren’t careful.
The degrees of Self-Interrupt start with a small stumble all the way to full knockdown depending on how close you are to the center of explosion. Any Mods referring to Self Damage will be converted to acknowledge Stagger.
With this Self-Interrupt system, we have added dozens of new recovery animations that harness a ninja-like recovery experience. By pressing ‘Jump’ at the correct time, you can execute a ninja-skill-based knockdown recovery to ALL in-game knockdowns. This ninja recovery window is indicated by a glowing FX on your Warframe.
In the original Dev Workshop, we said:
As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.
This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:
No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.
Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that’s conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game’s most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.
Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)
- Fixed inability to equip the Terminal Velocity Mod on the Komorex.
Hotfix 25.0.8 (2019-05-31)
- Fixed the Komorex light FX being too intense.
Hotfix 25.0.5 (2019-05-28)
- Fixed the Komorex’s Energy color persisting as default.
Update 25.0 (2019-05-22)
- Introduced.
Last updated: Update 24.5 (2019-03-14)
