Notes[]

Incarnon Genesis[]

Upon completion of The Duviri Paradox and Angels of the Zariman, and unlocking The Steel Path, players can earn Braton Incarnon Genesis from The Circuit's Steel Path to place on their Braton with the help of Cavalero in the Chrysalith. This Incarnon Genesis form grants it evolutions to a transformation and newfound strength.

Evolution[]

This section is transcluded from Braton Incarnon Genesis § Evolutions. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

Installing the Braton Incarnon Genesis requires 20 Pathos Clamps, 60 Rune Marrow, and 60 Tasoma Extract.
When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. 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[]

Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
Gain Radial Heat damage.
- Incarnon Form has a 3 meter area of effect that deals pure Heat damage, with much higher Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, and Status Chance. However, the Fire Rate is reduced, and the explosion possesses Damage Falloff from 100% to 90% from central impact.
- When modded for Punch Through, the Incarnon Form's radial effect occurs at the first object struck, and only the main bullet punches through.
Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticle by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 20 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.
Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Braton's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 10 rounds to a maximum of 200. Once all ammunition is expended, the Braton reverts to its normal form.
- Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
- Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as Energized Munitions).
- Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

  - Channeled Abilities must be draining energy to be considered active. Abilities that do not drain energy over time such as Nekros's Desecrate, Hildryn's Haven, or Sevagoth's Gloom (with no enemies nearby) do not count.

  - Affects both modes. In the case of Incarnon Form, it pulls directly from its magazine.

Tips[]

Sell the weapon after acquiring around 25,000 Credits 25,000 and reaching rank 30, as the Braton is much more useful for missions after Mercury.

Trivia[]

Update 14.0 (2014-07-18) buffed the MK1-Braton's damage and rate of fire to make it closer to the Braton in terms of performance.
Originally, the MK1-Braton was unable to equip skins. This was eventually fixed in Hotfix 16.3.3.1 (2015-04-15)
