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 second lowest critical chance of any sniper rifle.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Slash damage.

Advantages:

• High  Slash and  Puncture damage – effective against health and armor.
• Good critical chance.
• Above average critical multiplier.
• Second highest status chance of all sniper rifles, behind  Sporothrix.
• Fastest base fire rate of all sniper rifles.
• Largest magazine size of all sniper rifles.
• Innate Ammo Mutation effect, slightly lower than  Sniper Ammo Mutation.
• Pinpoint accuracy while zoomed in; shots will hit exactly on the reticle dot, perfect for headshots.
• 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.
    • Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
    • Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
    • Can benefit from  Cautious Shot.

Disadvantages:

• Lowest base damage of all sniper rifles.
  • Low  Impact damage – less effective against shields.
  • Second zoom has innate  Viral damage – less effective against Machinery and Infested.
• Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from 400m to 600m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Second lowest critical chance of all sniper rifles, after  Sporothrix.
• Tied with  Vectis Prime for the largest shot combo requirement of all sniper rifles.
  • Second zoom explosion does not affect combo counter.
• Slow reload speed.
• Lowest zoom distance of all sniper rifles.
• Extremely inaccurate when fired from the hip.
• Projectiles have travel time.
• Second zoom explosion inflicts self-stagger.
• Second zoom explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 60% from central impact.
• Second zoom explosion range cannot be increased with  Firestorm ( Primed) and  Amalgam Furax Body Count.

Acquisition

The Komorex's blueprint can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.

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.
• 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.

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

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.

5 Forma Komorex Review (Amalgam Sniper Rifle)

WARFRAME - Lanka Mag VS Komorex Mag

Warframe - All Corpus Primaries - Weapon Animations & Sounds (2012 - 2019)

Patch History

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.
