The Vastilok is a Grineer gunblade that fires shotgun-like blasts with extreme status chance.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon primarily deals
Slash damage. - Stance slot has polarity, matching Bullet Dance and High Noon stance.
- Gunblade ranged attacks function similarly to a shotgun, firing multiple limited range pellets simultaneously.
- Innate multishot of 9 pellets.
- Innate 1.3 meter punch through.
- Shots have a chance to either stagger or knockdown enemies.
- Firing within 4 meters of an enemy will stagger them.
- Shots do not use ammo.
- Shots receive a 25% bonus to physical damage types. This includes Heavy Attacks.
- Shots done with regular attacks (more common with the Bullet Dance stance) are very effective at building up melee Combo Count, as each pellet counts as a separate hit to build up the combo.
- Have linear damage falloff from 100% to ?% from 23m to 49m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed, for melee weapons only via Jet Stream).
Advantages over other Melee weapons (excluding modular weapons):
- Fastest ranged attack armor stripping of all gunblades while equipped with Shattering Impact due to highest multishot of 9 pellets with each pellet dealing some Impact and stripping a total of up to 54 points armor per shot (6 per pellet).
- Highest status chance of all gunblades.
- Synergizes with Condition Overload, as each pellet has a chance of procing a status effect.
- Synergizes with Healing Return as the first shot allows for healing and each of the 9 pellets can heal a separate instance of health.
- Synergizes with
- Fully Silent attacks including ranged shots, ideal for stealthy missions.
- As with all gunblades - infinite ammo and magazine size - no need for ammo pickups or Reload.
