Shoot to Loot

Weapon Hits against Orbs of Power collect them. If collecting ammo is possible: Weapon Hits against Ammo Bricks pick them up, trigger Ammo Pickup Effects, and refill all Weapons from reserves. Does not require direct hits.

Cannot load the Magazine beyond its base capacity. Hits after triggering a refill do not count while the Rewind Rounds buff is active (1? second).

Ancillary Ordinance

Killing Elemental-Debuffed targets or scoring 3 Elemental Kills within 4 seconds of each grants this weapon one stack of Ancillary Ordinance. Maximum of 4 stacks. Stacks can be earned while stowed. Kills consume a stack of Ancillary Ordinance to release a seeking Micro-Missile from the enemy's point of death, traveling up to 30 meters before dealing 330 [100] damage in a small radius. Killing Elemental-Debuffed Targets with this weapon instantly spawns a missile.

Rangefinder

Aiming Down Sights grants the following benefits: • 10 Range • 10% increased Effective Zoom • 5% increased Projectile Speed The Effective Zoom increase pushes out Aim Assist Falloff by 10%, reduces (Absolute) Recoil by 10% and narrows the Accuracy and Aim Assist Cones by the same amount. (This is the normal behavior of Zoom and isn't unique to Rangefinder)

Kinetic Tremors

Scoring multiple Direct Hits against a target within 3 seconds of each emits 3 damaging shockwaves from its location at the time of activation. Hit counter persists through stow. Shockwaves appear 0.25 seconds after scoring enough Hits and have a 1 second delay between each pulse. With Bows, the initial delay is decreased to 0.167 seconds. Each shockwave deals up to 90 [20] damage in a 6 meter radius. Shockwaves deal 33.33% more damage when activated on Miniboss or higher tier PvE Combatants. Shockwaves inherit Weapon Damage Buffs, the weapon's passive Kinetic Damage Bonus in PVE (10% on Primary, 15% on Special), and its Combatant Damage Scaling. They also count as non-direct Hits with the weapon for other interactions. The perk cannot be retriggered by anyone on a target until 2? seconds after the last shockwave.

Precision kills or 3 kills within 3 seconds of each triggers a Kinetic shockwave at the enemy's point of death. Kinetic Shockwave deals very low damage in an 8 (🡅 9) meter radius and applies Exhaust for 10 seconds, reducing enemy damage output.
