Slash and blast with this heavy Gunblade of brutal Grineer design. High slash damage paired with a heavy shotgun attack.

The Vastilok is a Grineer gunblade that fires shotgun-like blasts with extreme status chance.

Characteristics[]

  • This weapon primarily deals DmgSlashSmall64 Slash damage.
  • Stance slot has Madurai Pol polarity, matching Mod TT 20px Bullet Dance and Mod TT 20px 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 Mod TT 20px 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 Mod TT 20px Jet Stream).

Advantages over other Melee weapons (excluding modular weapons):

  • Fastest ranged attack armor stripping of all gunblades while equipped with Mod TT 20px Shattering Impact due to highest multishot of 9 pellets with each pellet dealing some DmgImpactSmall64 Impact and stripping a total of up to 54 points armor per shot (6 per pellet).
  • Highest status chance of all gunblades.
    • Synergizes with Mod TT 20px Condition Overload, as each pellet has a chance of procing a status effect.
    • Synergizes with Mod TT 20px Healing Return as the first shot allows for healing and each of the 9 pellets can heal a separate instance of health.
  • 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.
  • Normal Attack (wiki attack index 1)
    • High total damage (279)
    • High status chance (31.00%)
  • Ranged Attack (wiki attack index 2)
    • Above average maximum falloff distance (49.0 m)
    • Above average total damage (621)
    • High average number of crits per shot (1.71)
    • High average number of procs per shot (9.92)

    • Very low attack range (1.00 m)
    • Low disposition (●●○○○ (0.75x))
