Notes

• Darts deal 30 damage and will anchor into the target with a guaranteed proc. ~1 second after attaching to the target they will explode, dealing 80 damage and temporarily staggering any enemies within 5m of the explosion.
  • Dart explosions will make enemies vulnerable to melee finishers (default E ) and susceptible to stealth damage multipliers.
  • Darts can detonate off of objects and terrain as well, enemy hits are not required.
    • Darts that land on objects (corpses, defense targets, containers, etc.) will detonate without delay.
• This weapon synergizes very well with abilities that boost finisher damage, such as augments for  Radial Blind ( Radiant Finish) and  Silence ( Savage Silence).
  • More so with Banshee's Silence ability, as enemies are only stunned when the ability is cast and/or when enemies enter the radius of the ability. This weapon allows Banshee to re-stun enemies and take full advantage of the augment.
  • It also synergizes with melee weapon mods that improve finishers, such as  Finishing Touch or  Covert Lethality
• While the weapon's innate Gas damage does not apply to the dart - only the explosion - combining  or  mods can be used to apply it to the dart impact itself.
• Due to the explosion's innate damage, this weapon allows combined elements that require ( or ) or ( or ) to be paired with Gas.

Tips

• The explosions will cause the player to stagger slightly as well, interrupting attacks, so the player may want to wait for the explosion to occur then rush the enemy after if they wish to take advantage of the finisher openers.

Trivia

• The Zakti is the first weapon to have as its primary damage type.
• śaktí is a Hindi and Sanskrit word meaning force, energy, or potency.
• The Zakti's reload animation involves ejecting a visible pistol magazine from the top and receiving an invisible magazine from the bottom, although the magazine has an overtravel stop (seen when ejected). This is clearly visible in Captura, and the magazine can be seen on the ground after reloading, still with a round (visually similar to a 9m) in the magazine.

Bugs

• Dart explosion audio will sometimes cut short.
• Darts sometimes lodge themselves in terrain without detonating.
• The Zakti cannot equip some conclave mods such as  Hydraulic Barrel.
• When shot by  Mirage 's clones during her ability, the clones' darts will detonate on contact instead of after a delay.
