Traits

• Smallbore
• Polygonal Rifling
• Corkscrew Rifling
• Full Bore
• Hammer-Forged Rfling
• Arrowhead Brake
• Fluted Barrel

Magazines

• Flared Magwell
• Extended Mag
• Tactical Mag
• Accurized Rounds

Grips

• Textured Grip
• Smooth Grip
• Polymer Grip
• Heavy Grip

Exotic Trait

• Temporal Anomaly: While overcharged, each mode expends a portion of overcharge for additional effects on final blows or precision hits: Arc mode calls down lightning strikes. Stasis mode creates an explosion and a formation of Stasis crystals.

Catalysts

These catalysts can be obtained by exploring Kepler on Fabled and/or Mythic world tier.

• Rapid Hit Refit: Rapid precision hits temporarily increase stability and reload speed.
• Subsistence Refit: Defeating targets partially reloads the magazine from reserves.
• Transcendent Zen Refit: Final blows grant bonus stats based on the weapon's damage type alignment. Light elements grant stability and handling. Dark elements grant range and aim assist. While Transcendent, this weapon gets both bonuses.
• Temporal Alignment Refit: Overcharging both Arc and Stasis modes grants a period of increased damage.

1. (S) 051632S: Reception intercepts a radio signal from deep space.
2. (TS) 051744S: Natural causes, random chance, and foreign interference are ruled out. Signal is tentatively classified as contact with non-human intelligence.
