Tips[]

  • The Magnus works as a general-purpose version of the Sicarus Sicarus, as it primarily deals DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage, while it deals such damage on semi-automatic. It also comes with higher DmgSlashSmall64 Slash and DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture values, plus a good status chance. The sacrificed characteristics are DPS, as the gun is not a burst-fire and it has a smaller magazine capacity.
  • Though the Magnus's recoil is manageable, Mod TT 20px Steady Hands can still prove beneficial, especially at longer ranges or when firing rapidly.

Trivia[]

  • Magnus is Latin for "Big" or "Great".
  • Its Reinforcements preview shows that it has 2.7 on its reload time, even though its actual reload time is 1.4 seconds. Both were released and shown at the same update.
  • Unlike the Vasto, the Magnus is a break-action revolver, which means it is opened from its chamber to load a new cylinder.
    • Despite this, the sound of spent cartridges dropping to the floor can still be heard, even though the cylinder would hold the cartridges in place until a reload.
  • The Magnus's muzzle has a particle emitter attached that billows smoke after a shot has been released.

Bugs[]

  • The muzzle's particle emitter is prone to glitching, leaving the Magnus permanently smoking for the duration of the mission.

Patch History[]

Update 32.2 (2022-11-30)

SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON CHANGES

While reviewing the stats of some weapons with a semi-automatic mode, we noticed that certain weapons had an unsustainably high fire rate for most players. We adjusted the stats of the following semi-automatic weapons whose maximum potential was only being reached with the use of macros (to learn more about third-party use in Warframe visit our support article). Since not everyone is an avid macro user (within the boundaries allowed), we lowered fire rates to a more humanly achievable level and improved their damage or reload stats to compensate.
