Launch a volley of virulent, hyper-pressurized, water globules that envelope targets and explode with torrential force. Yareli's signature pistol.

The Kompressa is  Yareli's signature bubble-gun pistol sidearm that volleys a torrent of sticky and explosive  Viral bubbles.

Characteristics[]

  • This weapon deals  Viral damage.
  • Innate polarity.
  • Bubbles explode in a 2.4 meter radius after 0.6 - 0.8 seconds on impacting a surface or enemy.
    • Explosion delay reduces likelihood of inflicting self-stagger, but may allow enemies to move out of the explosion range if not directly hit by the bubble.
    • 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  Fulmination ( Primed).

Advantages over other Secondary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

  • Innate multishot of 4 bubbles.
  • Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1)
    • Very high average number of procs per shot (1.2)
    • Above average average number of crits per shot (0.24)
    • High status chance (30.00%)
  • Explosion (wiki attack index 2)
    • Above average total damage (168)
    • High average number of procs per shot (1.2)
    • High status chance (30.00%)

Disadvantages over other Secondary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

  • Extremely inaccurate at long distances.
  • Projectiles have travel time.
  • Limited range of 35 meters.
  • Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
  • Explosion has a headshot multiplier of 1x and cannot trigger headshot conditions.
  • Explosion has linear Damage Falloff from 100% to 80% from central impact.
  • Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1)
    • Below average reload speed (1.80 s)
    • Below average magazine (12)
    • Very low total damage (8)
    • Low fire rate (3.33 attacks/sec)
    • Low ammo max (144)
    • Very low crit chance (6.00%)
    • Below average disposition (●●●●○ (1.15x))
    • Below average crit multiplier (1.80x)
  • Explosion (wiki attack index 2)
    • Low crit chance (6.00%)
    • Very low maximum falloff distance (2.4 m)
    • Below average reload speed (1.80 s)
    • Below average ammo max (144)
    • Below average disposition (●●●●○ (1.15x))
    • Low crit multiplier (1.80x)

Notes[]

  • Currently, Kompressa lacks a Signature Weapon bonus with  Yareli.
  • Although Kompressa's bubble projectiles are extremely inaccurate at long ranges, the resulting delayed AoE explosions can still deal good damage. Equipping  Fulmination ( Primed) can help compensate for the inaccuracy at such ranges by expanding the AoE range.
  • Has a hidden synergy with  Surging Blades, allowing the blades to be captured by bubbles when blades are thrown into bubble clusters allowing them to grow in size and shred enemies who get near them.

Tips[]

  • Kompressa's delayed burst damage can prove advantageous against crowds of enemies that are protected by a Nullifier Crewman or, in Arbitrations, Arbitration Shield Drones, as the initial shot impact can destroy these protective barriers while the resulting exploding blobs can proceed to clear out the once protected enemies.
  • The Kompressa is functionally silent despite having an "Alarming" noise level; the bubbles and explosions can be fired near enemies without alerting them. However, they will still break  Ivara's  Prowl unless the  Suppress mod is equipped.
  •  Cascadia Empowered is a viable enhancement for Kompressa, due to its capacity for landing a lot of status effects on enemies.

Bugs[]

  • The UI for the weapon will not reflect explosion range increases beyond the default, but this is only visual.

Trivia[]

  • Kompressa is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of 'Compressor' コンプレッサー , as the pistol fires pressurized water globs that explosively burst from sudden decompression.

Patch History[]

Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)

  • Fixed Kompressa’s additional bubbles (after the first 4) not exploding with radial damage as intended when modded with Multishot.

Hotfix 32.0.7 (2022-09-28)

  • Fixed an issue with Kompressa’s audio FX where high multishot mods caused the explosions to cut audio up when hitting max instances.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

Ammo Changes

We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.

Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.

Headshot Damage Changes

During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.

Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.

  • Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
    • This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.

Hotfix 30.5.4 (2021-07-17)

  • Fixed the Kompressa’s disarmed model being the Stug.

Hotfix 30.5.3 (2021-07-09)

  • Fixed Chat Links for the Kompressa lacking build/acquisition hints.

Hotfix 30.5.2 (2021-07-07)

  • Fixed missing acquisition information for the Kompressa.

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

  • Introduced.
