Revision as of 01:35, 6 August 2022
Laetum is an Incarnon ceremonial pistol evolved by the Void to shoot deadly explosive airburst rounds. "Normally" a semi-automatic pistol, achieving enough headshots will allow the player to temporarily transform it into a fully automatic pistol that deals 
Radiation damage in a small area of effect.
Characteristics
- This weapon deals primarily
Slash damage in its normal form and Radiation in its Incarnon Form. - Once Incarnon Form is unlocked, landing headshots fill the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that transforms the Laetum into an automatic weapon via the Alternate Fire key.
- Additional shots from Multishot counts as separate headshots.
- The gauge reaches full charge after 12 headshots, and does not require a full gauge to activate. It will also emit a small, ghost-like wail when the gauge is completely full.
- Shots deal pure Impact damage on direct hits, and Radiation damage in a 2 meter radius.
- Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
- Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
- Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
- Explosion have linear damage falloff from 100% to 80% from central impact.
- Can benefit from Fulmination ( Primed).
- Instead of drawing from the Laetum's ammo reserves, Incarnon Form gives the Laetum a unique "magazine" from 18 rounds per charge to a maximum of 216, indicated by a bar underneath the reticle.
- If the Alternate Fire key is pressed whether or not the Incarnon magazine is fully expended, the Laetum is transformed back into its default state, however this will also fully expend any remaining Incarnon gauge.
- As with all Incarnon weapons the Laetum has 5 evolution tiers with different perks that allow players to customize their Laetum's stats with Cavalero's assistance.

Notes
- To access new Incarnon evolution tiers and change perks, players must visit Cavalero at the Chrysalith with their selected Incarnon weapon equipped. Players can only select one perk per Evolution tier, which can be changed at no cost.
Evolution
- When newly acquired from the Foundry, players must acquire 100 kills with the Laetum in order to gain access to its Incarnon transformation. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;
- Each challenge additionally grants 5,000 affinity to the weapon, affected by Affinity Boosters.
- Evolution I: Kill 100 enemies with the Laetum
- Incarnon Form: Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
- Incarnon Form changes the weapon from a semi-auto to full-auto with increased fire rate, reduced recoil, direct shots have increased Impact damage but no longer deal Slash damage, and its shots explode in a 2 meter radius inflicting Radiation damage.
- Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
- Incarnon Form uses primary weapon animations. Because of this the Laetum cannot be dual wielded along with any Glaive.
- Any skins equipped on the Laetum will only affect the original appearance; Incarnon Transformation will still use the dedicated model.
- Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 12 headshots will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
- Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either Sonar or Detect Vulnerability in places other than heads will have no effect either.
- Headshots on corpses do not build charges.
- Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
- Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either
- Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Laetum's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 12 rounds to a maximum of 220. Once all ammunition is expended, the Laetum reverts to its normal form.
- Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
- Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as the Feather of Justice and Reaper's Plenty perks, Energized Munitions, or Arcane Pistoleer).
- Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
- Synth Charge has no effect on Incarnon Form, even if transformed when the normal form has one round remaining.
- Incarnon Form changes the weapon from a semi-auto to full-auto with increased fire rate, reduced recoil, direct shots have increased
- Incarnon Form: Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.

Tips
- Evolution II can be easily done solo in Elite Sanctuary Onslaught, with the increased spawn rate of the Eximus enemies.
- Evolution III challenge can be made easier by increasing Magazine Capacity (with Slip Magazine ( Primed), Ice Storm, Tainted Clip, and/or Combo Fury) and by increasing Multishot (with Barrel Diffusion ( Galvanized) and/or Lethal Torrent).
- For Evolution III, with no other enemy around, turning Invisible reduces the Angel's activity, sometimes standing still. This makes it easier to land headshots.
- The Evolution III challenge can be completed using Laetum's Incarnon mode.
- The extra instance of damage from Xata's Whisper causes headshots in Incarnon form to refill the Incarnon gauge (more information needed to confirm interaction)

Patch History
Hotfix 31.6.4 (2022-07-14)
- Fixed the stat change for Incarnon weapons that have crit/status chance Evolution upgrades not appearing in the Arsenal.
Hotfix 31.6.1 (2022-06-09)
- Reduced clip flare for Laetum to help show underlying animation.
Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)
- Updated the Incarnon Form charge gauge in the Incarnon weapon reticle to improve readability on when there is charge/when it is at full charge.
- Updated Incarnon Weapon Evolution screen to include stat comparisons when selecting Evolution perks in Cavalero’s evolve screen. From the original known bugs list.
- Changed Laetum’s ‘Overwhelming Attrition’ Evolution duration from 20 to 10 seconds.
- Overwhelming Attrition was simply too powerful to justify using the other two Tier 5 Evolutions for the Laetum. This change was made to encourage build diversity for the Laetum.
- Made some slight adjustments to framing of Incarnon weapons in Cavalero’s Evolution screen.
- Fixed the Laetum’s "Overwhelming Attrition" Evolution perk triggering much less frequently for Clients than for Hosts.
- If any projectile in the multishot group was a critical hit or status effect, the entire thing became invalid and would not get the buff for Clients.
- Fixed Clients gaining Incarnon Form charges added and then partially resetting and counting back up in high latency situations.
- Fixed the Laetum’s Evolution V ability “Devouring Attrition” not providing its 50% chance of receiving a 2000% damage buff on non-critical hits for Clients.
- Fixed Incarnon weapons using Skins in Incarnon form. From the original known bugs list.
- Fixed Laetum Reaper’s Plenty Evolution applying to all equipped weapons.
- Fixed cases of Evolution perks not working for Clients.
- Fixed Incarnon Evolutions UI persisting in the Loadouts screen.
- Changed the reticle of several weapons with a charge mechanic to no longer use energy colors for their charge indicators.
- While it’s desirable to have the reticle of these weapons take on the energy color, it sacrifices too much clarity for the weapon charge indicator.
- This applies to:
- Laetum transmutation gauge
- While it’s desirable to have the reticle of these weapons take on the energy color, it sacrifices too much clarity for the weapon charge indicator.
Hotfix 31.5.10 (2022-05-17)
- Fixed the Laetum’s Evolution V perk ‘Reaper's Plenty’ applying its ammo efficiency to all equipped weapons, instead of just the Laetum as intended.
Hotfix 31.5.9 (2022-05-12)
- Fixed the Incarnon Weapon Evolution UI elements persisting in the Loadout screen.
- Fixed a crazy muzzle flash FX on the Laetum.
Hotfix 31.5.8 (2022-05-11)
- Fixed Cascadia Empowered triggering Overwhelming Attrition.
Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)
- Fixed all Incarnon Evolutions that increase or reduce Critical/Status Chance not applying correctly.
- Previously, the base stats were not additive, which meant that they weren’t being applied in full. For example, the Phenmor’s Survivor’s Edge Evolution IV +10% Critical Chance +10 Status Chance was only applying a fraction of that percentage boost. They will now apply properly as described in its descriptions!
- Fixed the Laetum’s ‘Overwhelming Attrition’ Evolution perk activating from status DOTs inflicted by the weapon.
- This was in contradiction to its description and original design: “On Hit that is neither Critical nor applies a Status Effect: +400% damage for 20 seconds.”
Hotfix 31.5.6 (2022-05-04)
- Fixed script error related to special Incarnon weapon reticle.
Hotfix 31.5.5 (2022-05-03)

Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)
- Added custom icon for the ‘Incarnon Challenges’ category in the in-mission Challenge Progress window.
Hotfix 31.5.3 (2022-04-29)
- Fixed script error related to checking challenge progress for Incarnon Weapons while in mission.
Hotfix 31.5.2 (2022-04-28)
- Improved the reload animations of the Laetum.
- Also fixes the Laetum clipping through Warfarme when not aiming down sight.

- Introduced.
