CODEX

The Quellor was standard-issue to Dax Railjack crews of the Old War, dating back to the earliest, pre-Sigma craft. A rapid-fire assault rifle with a hefty magazine-size, the Quellor is an all-round workhorse. Also capable of large, short-range cryo-blasts.

The Quellor is an ancient Dax assault rifle used by Railjack crew during the Old War. Its primary fire shoots fully automatic shots with high  Puncture damage, while its Alternate Fire charges up a short-ranged  Cold projectile.

Characteristics

• This weapon deals primarily  Puncture damage on its primary fire and  Cold damage on its Alternate Fire .
• Alternate Fire charges a single, powerful shot, for a cost of 50 ammo, that travels up to 26 meters, with a guaranteed  Impact proc on enemies within 18m and Infinite Body Punch Through.
  • Inability to hold charge.
• Primary fire has an innate 0.5 meter punch through.

Advantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

• Auto (wiki attack index 1)
  • Very high magazine (300)
  • Very high ammo max (900)
  • Above average fire rate (6.00 attacks/sec)
  • Very high status chance (38.00%)
• Alt-Fire (wiki attack index 2)
  • High crit chance (40.00%)
  • High magazine (300)
  • Very high total damage (1,400)
  • Very high ammo max (900)

Disadvantages over other Primary weapons (excluding modular weapons):

• Auto (wiki attack index 1)
  • Low crit chance (12.00%)
  • Very low reload speed (4.00 s)
  • Below average total damage (58)
  • Below average disposition (●●●●○ (1.15x))
  • Very low crit multiplier (1.60x)
• Alt-Fire (wiki attack index 2)
  • Low active falloff slope (13.5m/%)
  • Low maximum falloff distance (18.0 m)
  • Very low reload speed (4.00 s)
  • Very low fire rate (1.00 attacks/sec)
  • Very low status chance (10.00%)
  • Below average disposition (●●●●○ (1.15x))

Acquisition

The Quellor's main blueprint can be obtained from defeating Blite Captain, Glacik Commander, Lektro Commander, or Pyr Captain in Empyrean missions (at Kasio's Rest on Saturn Proxima, Flexa in Veil Proxima, or sometimes Korms Belt in Earth Proxima). The blueprint pickup is shared across the entire squad and can be traded between players.

Item	Source	Chance	Expected	Nearly Guaranteed
Blueprint	Pyr Captain	7.31%	~ 13 Kills	91 ± 30 Kills
Blueprint	Blite Captain	7.31%	~ 13 Kills	91 ± 30 Kills
Blueprint	Lektro Commander	7.31%	~ 13 Kills	91 ± 30 Kills
Blueprint	Glacik Commander	7.31%	~ 13 Kills	91 ± 30 Kills

Notes

• The alternate fire fires as soon as it has reached a full charge.
• Alternate fire has linear damage falloff from 100% to 33.43% from 9m to 18m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Attempting to Alternate Fire with 49 ammo or less will cause the weapon to pause briefly, then reload.
• The Quellor might be the Dax equivalent or counterpart to the  Soma Prime: a high capacity rifle meant to mow down swaths of enemies in a single magazine, but made without typical Orokin components to be made readily available to vast crews of Dax soldiers.
• While the weapon fires hitscan bullets, the weapon features a unique trail of lasers that fire out from the weapon, acting similarly to most ballistic weaponry and their tracer rounds to track the path of your projectiles. However, they act like the effects fired from most beam weapons, and thus lag behind the reticle while aiming around, which can cause confusion as it may appear that the weapon is not hitscan and thus players may mistakenly try to lead targets.

Known Bugs

•  Galvanized Aptitude is multiplicative to base damage sources on direct hits from alt-fire.

Tips

• When modding for this weapon, it may be wise to focus on a hybrid build with more emphasis towards criticals. With a maxed  Point Strike the Quellor will reach 100% critical chance on its alt fire. Using the primary fire to strip armor or remove shields may help make the alt fire even more deadly.
• Using  Tactical Reload in the Exilus slot can help bypass the 4 second reload, and can even make using the alt fire more consistent (albeit at the cost of ammo economy).
• The alt fire has guaranteed Impact procs, and a low Fire Rate, making it perfect for applying powerful Slash procs via Internal Bleeding.

Trivia

• The Quellor uses a single egg-shaped object as the entire source of ammo for the weapon. When firing the orb is pushed up into position while opening a flap, then knocked back down again by the flap, a process that repeats until the weapon runs out of ammo. Then, the player will eject the orb and replace a new one inside. This implies the weapon does not use conventional ammunition and it's most likely energy based projectiles, possibly supercooled by the weapon and ejected by the energy cell.
• Highest damage of all hitscan automatic rifles.
• Alternative fire is tied with  Stahlta for the highest critical chance of all charge-up rifles.
• Third slowest reload speed of all primary rifles, after  Gorgon and  Trumna.
