SYSTEMS CHECKLIST
Insulated Weapons Frame: CHECK. Insulated Firing System: CHECK.
Conductive Prongs: CHECK. Amplification Drivers: CHECK. Arc-core Replication Matrix: CHECK. Arc-core Chargers: CHECK. Feedback Reduction Loop: CHECK.
Direct User Pain Blockers: UNAVAILABLE
Ancillary operations listed under General Systems Review.
NOTE: The user must receive incoming damage to increase outgoing damage. However, the value we predict the user will receive in return for their discomfort far exceeds any momentary pain - assuming, of course, the user survives the attack.
In short: This may hurt. A lot.

Gameplay[edit]

When the weapon is in use, taking Arc damage from opponents activates the Arc Conductor buff. For a few seconds, Riskrunner will have an unlimited magazine and fire continuously without needing to reload. This is especially effective against Fallen enemies, due to the prevalence of Arc energy in the Fallen arsenal.

Column 3 (Magazine)[edit]

  • Extended Mag: This weapon has a greatly increased magazine size, but reloads much slower. • Greatly increases magazine size • Greatly decreases reload speed

  • Short-action Stock: This weapon is especially easy to grip. • Greatly increases handling speed
