Notes
- 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 reticule 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.
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).
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.
