CODEX

Corpus ingenuity leveraging Tau-tech to create a high-capacity bi-modal sniper weapon of terrifying capability. Zoom in to reduce recoil and add punch through. Zoom again to fire a bursting viral round, but with a lower rate of fire. Komorex features built-in ammo conversion.

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 critical chance of any sniper rifle. It can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.

Two zoom modes:
- First zoom has 2.0x zoom distance, -50% recoil, and 2 meter Punch Through.
- Second zoom has 3.5x zoom distance, +100% additional damage, causes shots to explode in a 3.5 meter radius dealing Viral damage, and -75% fire rate.
  - Innate Viral damage – effective against Flesh and Cloned Flesh.

Disadvantages:

- Low Impact damage – less effective against shields.

NotesEdit

The damage of the main shot is doubled when on the second zoom option, but also has an explosion of ~66 Viral damage in a 3.5m radius around the area of the impact.
- If Punch Through is added via mods, the projectile explodes only when it hits a target it can't penetrate.

Combo Counter Bonus Tier	Total Base Damage Multiplier	Minimum Consecutive Hits Required
1	1.5x	5
2	2.0x	15
3	2.5x	45
4	3.0x	135
5	3.5x	405
6	4.0x	1215
7	4.5x	3645
8	5.0x	10935

TipsEdit

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 Gas damage respectively. This will allow the viral damage to scale faster against armored enemies, and decimate Corpus through shields.

TriviaEdit

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").
The Komorex and Cyanex are the only two Energy Lab Research weapons with a 12 hour build time.
