==Bugs==
 
*The Sarpa may "jam" and refuse to shoot while still being able to use the attack animations, which will do extremely negligible amounts of damage. This is somewhat uncommon, but it can occur for a variety of unknown reasons, including if the player is knocked down at the right time while shooting in mid-animation. The bug effectively renders the Sarpa useless for the rest of the mission, and there is no known way to fix it except for the player to respawn after being downed.

    • Low Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against shields and armor.
  • Gunblade shots have linear damage falloff from 100% to 14.29% from 20m to 40m target distance (distances are affected by projectile flight speed, for melee weapons only via Mod TT 20px Jet Stream).
  • Gunblade shots have a very large spread.
  • Gunblade shots are alarming.

Notes

  • Shots have innate punch through when firing through enemies and non-terrain objects, e.g. Grineer Blunts.

    • Final Showdown – 3rd attack shoots 10 bullets
    • Desperado Zeal – 4th attack shoots 10 bullets, 5th shoots 5
