Electron pulse cannon: deadly accurate electrical pulses fry ships and occupants alike. Can wreak havoc on flight control systems.

—In-game description

Pulsar is a Railjack Armament that auto-bursts hitscan shots that deals primarily  Electricity damage with high status chance, pinpoint accuracy, and extreme range, but has somewhat low fire rate.

Houses & Tiers

Turret stats mostly follow the same pattern between Houses within the same tier, i.e. compared to the Sigma variant:

• Lavan variant has 7-10% damage increase and x40-65% improved Status Chance
• Vidar variant has same damage and x20-60% improved Critical Chance
• Zetki variant has 20-30% damage increase with x0-30-50% improved Critical Chance and/or x(-41)-0-50-53% improved Status Chance at the cost of 20-100% increased Heat Accretion

Recovered Mk II and Mk III Turret Wreckages will come with an additional random stat bonus of either Fire Rate or Damage. All turrets of the same tier and House will have the same type of bonus, only the numeric value is randomized. These bonus stats are listed within each individual armament table below.
