Perks

Column 1

Wrathful Pack - Holding Reload activates this weapon's alternate fire: this weapon will lock onto targets caught in the player's crosshairs. When fired, slow, yet powerful rounds will track their targets. 4 rounds of the magazine are consumed per round.

Column 2

Perfect Balance - This weapon has extremely low recoil.

Column 3

Zen Moment - Causing damage with this weapon increases it's stability.

Column 4

Alpha's Command - Pressing the Right Thumbstick allows a player to target something this weapon can't, such as automata or targets.

Column 5

Armor Piercing Rounds - These iridium-core rounds overpenetrate targets. Their mass slows down handling.

Catalyst
