This long-distance sniper rifle fires a razor-sharp, virus-soaked barb that continues to attack its host before violently erupting in a spore-laden mist. Scoped headshots increase lethality.

Sporothrix is an Infestation w Infested Sniper Rifle that shoots explosive delayed DmgViralSmall64 Viral barbs, boasting a very high critical multiplier and status chance that is heavily offset by its near nonexistent critical chance.

  • Shots explode in a 1.7 meter radius after 0.9 seconds on impacting a surface or enemy.

    • Explosion delay reduces likelihood of inflicting self-stagger, but may allow enemies to move out of the explosion range if not directly hit by the projectile.

Tips[]

  • Despite being a sniper rifle primarily intended against single targets, the exploding barbs make Sporothrix equally valuable as a crowd control weapon. Aiming at grouped enemies is a good way of maximizing the weapon's effectiveness.
  • There are several ways to make use of the Sporothrix's high critical damage by adding flat critical chance bonuses:

Trivia[]

  • This weapon shares its name with the real-world fungus genus Sporothrix. One particular species can cause Sporotrichosis in humans and animals, otherwise known as "Rose Gardener's Disease".

Patch History[]

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

Ammo Changes

We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.

Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.

Primary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides

15 Ammo per Pick Up:

  • Sporothrix
Headshot Damage Changes

During playtesting, the ammo changes alone weren’t enough to significantly change things for AoE weapons. So instead of tightening these values to be overly restrictive, we chose to address other factors that make these weapons so strong, such as headshot damage.

Our approach here is two-fold, to reduce the impact of headshots for AOE weapons, but to also make precision headshots pack a larger punch overall.

  • Radial damage no longer gains extra headshot damage or triggers headshot conditions.
    • This is primarily targeted at the Ignis Wraith - as a “flamethrower” weapon, it’s hard to imagine a blanket of elements being precise enough to target weak points specifically. Explosive projectiles themselves can still land headshots, so there is still a reason to aim with most weapons for maximum damage.

Hotfix 29.5.9 (2020-12-15)

Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprints are now tradable!

To balance out the Weapon Blueprint drop % reduction we’ve made the Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprints tradable. The Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa parts were already Tradable, but it’s now one step further.

Hotfix 29.5.3 (2020-11-23)

  • Fixed the actual base Blueprint for the new Sporothrix not being in Rotation A of Deimos: Arcana Bounties. Sporothrix Blueprint is now in Rotation A at 21%.

Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)

  • Introduced.
