The Velocitus is an Archwing Gauss-gun that deals heavy charged shot damage. It is the first Archwing weapon to have base damage.

Acquisition

• Its blueprint can be researched and bought from the Tenno Research Lab in a clan dojo.
• All parts (Receiver, Stock & Barrel) can be found in Corpus Archwing Exterminate on Venus. The Receiver can also be found in Grineer Archwing Mobile Defense on Earth and Corpus Archwing Mobile Defense on Mars.

Notes

• The Velocitus is the first Archwing weapon whose blueprint is acquired from Clan Research (Tenno Laboratory). However, its component parts are still collected from Archwing missions.
• Can be fired instantly without charging, though it will deal less damage.
• Despite operating like a long range rifle, the Velocitus has no scope or magnification. Combined with projectile travel time, this makes sniping difficult.

Tips

• As the Velocitus already deals innately, it can accept other combination elemental damage types that use damage as a base. In particular, adding damage makes the Velocitus highly effective against Corpus spacecraft like the Gox that use both Shields and Robotic armor.
• When strafing fast moving targets, the Velocitus can be fired rapidly akin to a semi-automatic weapon like the Latron. While the resulting shots are less powerful than fully-charged shots, the larger number of shots fired are much better at hitting moving targets.
  • Giving the fire key (default LMB ) a secondary binding to the scrollwheel can allow for much faster rates of fire when shooting rapidly.

Trivia

• The Velocitus is the first weapon that deals  as its base damage type.

• The Velocitus' name is derived from the word "Velocity". Velocity is the name for the vector: ds/dt, that is the change in position (ds) over the change in time (dt).
• When charging the weapon, five hatches emitting flames on the right side of the weapon open up sequentially until the last one is open, denoting a full charge. These hatches close when the weapon is fired.

Media

• The Velocitus railgun.
