The Veldt is a Tenno semi-automatic revolver rifle sporting high damage and accuracy, but has a fairly poor fire rate. It also possesses an adjustable zoom via Alternate Fire while aiming.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon primarily deals Slash damage.
- While aiming, Alternate Fire adjusts the zoom, allowing players to deal with enemies at close and medium ranges.
- Innate polarity.
- Has uniform spread while hip-firing and while scoped, meaning that shots will not stray above or below the reticle.

Notes[]
- While aiming, players can increase or decrease the zoom using Alternate Fire.
- The pitch of the shots changes on the last 4 rounds.
- Unlike most other weapons that have variable zoom modes, (usually auto to semi) the stats of the weapon stay the same, neither punishing nor enhancing the weapon. This means players can choose to have low or high zoom, without suffering any negative (or positive) stat changes in doing so.
Tips[]
- Considering the weapon's alternative fire mode, Eagle Eye can be used to emulate sniper-grade scope amplification, excluding the scope reticle UI.
Trivia[]
- A Veldt is a thinly forested region typical to the southern part of Africa.
- The Veldt shares several similarities with old big game rifles, including the large and ornate trigger guard and hammer, and the full-length rifle "scope".
- The Veldt was an offshoot of the Tenora's design process, which itself came from the Pandero's design process.
