  • Damage cannot be increased with Puncture or Slash mods.
• Tied with Orthos and Serro for the second lowest critical multiplier of all polearms, after Cassowar.

TipsEdit

• The Pupacyst is an excellent anti-Corpus weapon as its innate Viral damage increases damage done to the target's health but can also be modded to gain Toxin damage to affect health, and Magnetic damage to devastate shields.
• The slow attack speed can be mitigated by equipping  Fury ( Primed) alongside  Berserker and  Gladiator Vice.

TriviaEdit

• Although the Pupacyst's description claims that its tip "rends flesh", it has no Slash damage whatsoever.

BugsEdit

• Pupacyst gains 7 damage to Spin Attacks for equipping Stance Mods.
  • This damage is affected by Mods.
