||
| + | ;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:<br /> |
||
| + | ''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.'' |

The Kulstar is a Grineer-built torpedo/cluster bomb launcher that was introduced in Update 17.0 (2015-07-31). Once its torpedo comes in contact with an enemy or a surface, or if the player manually detonates it with Alternate Fire, it detonates and fragments into 3 smaller bomblets, which spread from the point of impact, also exploding on impact. This makes the Kulstar ideal for dealing with tightly grouped enemies.
This weapon can be sold for 
5,000.

Characteristics
This weapon deals Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
Advantages
- Very high total damage.
- Rocket impacts have high Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage — effective against shields.
- Explosions and cluster bombs have innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage — effective against Machinery and Fossilized.
- Rocket explodes in a 3 meter radius on impact with a surface or enemy, then splits into 3 smaller cluster bombs that rain down on the point of impact.
- Rocket projectile can be manually detonated by pressing the Alternate Fire key/button – effective against enemies that have taken cover.
- Good critical chance.
- High critical multiplier.
- High status chance.
- Very high accuracy.
- Can benefit from
Fulmination. - Innate Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. polarity.
Disadvantages
- No Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against armor, health, and Ferrite Armor.
- Does not benefit from Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. mods.

- Does not benefit from Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. mods.
- Explosions and cluster bombs inflicts self-stagger.
- Explosions and cluster bombs have linear damage falloff from 100% to 60% from central impact.
- Very high recoil when not aiming.
- Rockets have travel time.
- Very inefficient ammo economy.
- Extremely small magazine size of just 3 rounds; requires frequent reloading.
- Extremely low ammo capacity of just 15 rounds; requires just 5 reloads to fully deplete all ammo reserves.
- Receives reduced rounds from ammo Pickups.
- Only two non-Conclave Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. polarity pistol mods exist, Deep Freeze and Sure Shot.
Notes
- Cluster bombs are launched in a loose arc away from the primary explosion in a similar fashion to spawning pods from Boilers.
- This may make it difficult to hit a single enemy with the primary explosion and cluster bombs and makes it so that arcing bomblets constitute an extra self-damage hazard.
- Multishot mods will only affect the rocket; the number of bomblets generated per rocket will always be 3.
- Additional projectiles generated by Multishot will assume a geometric formation, as per the Angstrum; 2 rockets will fire in a horizontal line, 3 rockets will fire in a triangle. 4 rockets, which is only possible with a Riven Mod in tow, will fire in a diamond. 5 rockets, also only possible with a Riven Mod in tow, will fire in a pentagon.
- Additional projectiles generated by Multishot will assume a geometric formation, as per the
- The Kulstar possesses an unusual difference in recoil between hipfire and aiming. When hipfiring, the Kulstar has very high recoil per shot, violently shaking aim, while stopping to aim will drastically reduce the recoil.
Tips
- Magnetize will focus both the main projectile and its bomblets to a single target, delivering heavy damage to it.
- "Hall Of Mirrors" wasn't found in Module:Ability/data can be used with the Kulstar to devastating effect, saturating an area with explosions and wiping out entire squads. This combination can be further improved if Hall of Malevolence is used.
Trivia
- The Kulstar was first presented in the Echoes of the Sentients Highlight Video.
- The Kulstar could be an intentional mispronunciation of the word "Cluster", which would be fitting given the Kulstar's projectiles are cluster bombs.
- The bomblets themselves resemble naval contact mines. While smaller than the torpedoes, they are much higher resolution as they are recoloured versions of the mines from the Grineer Sealab tileset.

Patch History
Hotfix 27.2.2 (2020-03-06)
Reduced the following AoE weapons Radial Damage Falloff from central impact that were all previously 90%:
- Kulstar: 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.
