CODEX

Designed as the perfect mate for Nautilus, this Sentinel weapon projects an icy beam at nearby targets.

The Verglas is the default weapon for the Nautilus Sentinel that fires a continuous beam of  Cold damage. This weapon accepts rifle mods.

This weapon can be sold for 1,250‍1,250.

Characteristics

This weapon deals  Cold damage.

Advantages:

• Second highest base damage of all continuous and automatic sentinel weapons, behind  Sweeper and  Sweeper Prime.
  • Innate  Cold damage – effective against Alloy Armor, Shielded, and Infested Sinew.
• Second highest status chance of all continuous and automatic sentinel weapons, behind  Cryotra.
• Highest fire rate of all continuous and automatic sentinel weapons.
• Pinpoint accuracy.
  •  Heavy Caliber's accuracy penalty is minimal on this weapon.
• High magazine size.
• Kills create an extra corpse, synergizing with  Nekros'  Desecrate.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Cold damage – less effective against Infested Flesh and Fossilized.
  • Damage cannot be increased with  Impact,  Puncture or  Slash mods.
• Very low critical chance.
• Damage ramps up from 20% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 20% over 2 seconds.
• Fairly low reload speed.
• Limited range of 24 meters.

Acquisition

This sentinel weapon is automatically acquired by acquiring Nautilus. Note that this weapon also takes up one Sentinel inventory slot.

Notes

• Verglas has abnormally high damage-dealing potential for a sentinel weapon.
  • Since Verglas' stats are identical to  Glaxion it has vastly greater power than other sentinel weapons, in particular completely outclassing its Cold-damage sentinel weapon beam predecessors:  Cryotra and  Artax.
• Verglas benefits exceptionally well from  Fired Up as long as at least one of the  Heat damage mods -  Hellfire,  Thermite Rounds, and  Wildfire - is equipped.
  • Since Verglas is a beam weapon with such high status chance, it can rapidly proc  Heat causing large amounts of damage over time as well as reducing the enemies armor by up to 50%.
  • The multiplicative nature of  Fired Up can increase the damage of the Verglas substantially.
    • If trying to utilize  Fired Up, it is best to use all three  Heat damage mods for maximum bonus  Heat damage.
    • The total  Heat damage of  Fired Up is shown by default, with the mod equipped, in the Verglas modding window. However, the total damage can still be calculated by multiplying the total  Heat damage on the Verglas by 1.6 (Overheat damage bonus is 60%).
      • Example with only  Hellfire and  Thermite Rounds equipped:
        • Heat damage from heat mods: 26 × (0.9 + 0.6) = 39
        • Total heat damage after Fired Up: 26 × (0.9 + 0.6) × (1 + 0.6) = 62.4

Bugs

• Verglas does not currently benefit from  Sinister Reach despite being able to equip it.

Trivia

• Verglas is a thin layer of ice, originating from the French word Verglas which means black ice i.e. clear ice.
• Upon release, Verglas Riven Mods were unveiled from Rifle Rivens as opposed to Companion Weapon Rivens; this was soon patched.
