Paracyst

The Paracyst is the completely  version of the . Primarily a burst-fire weapon, the Paracyst possesses an Alternate Fire mode that allows it to shoot tethered spores at enemies, dealing damage and dragging them towards the player's position. This is the weapon of choice for Mutalist Alad V.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals damage.
*Alternate Fire shoots a single tether to pull in enemies.
*Innate polarity.
==Acquisition==
The Paracyst's blueprint can be researched from the Bio Lab in the dojo.
==Notes==
*Spore pull can interrupt enemy casting/power animations, including the charge-up for Railgun MOAs.
*The secondary fire ragdolls enemies it hits as it pulls them to the user. Enemies that are hit gain a yellow aura that prevents them from being grabbed again until they recover.
*Adding Punch Through to the weapon does NOT allow the hook to grab and pull multiple enemies; instead, it will grab the last enemy that it can't punch through, and attempt to pull them.
*When the secondary fire is used in conjunction with 's , each doppelganger will also fire their own spore capable of grabbing and pulling in an enemy.
===Alternate Fire===
*The Paracyst's secondary fire mode fires an Infested spore attached to an energy tether that can pull enemies towards the player.
**Enemies hit by the harpoon suffer from a damage over time effect that lingers for 4 seconds, dealing 5 ticks of damage. 
**The secondary fire mode has a maximum range of 50 meters. While the harpoon will still hit and reel in enemies up to its maximum range, it will only pull them to around half of its range.
**Spore pull can also 'pull' humanoid flyers (such as Hellions) down, and pull enemies that are stunned by Warframe powers.
==Tips==
*Enemies can be pulled into bottomless pits or inaccessible areas, killing them instantly.
*Modding for and along with status will make the Paracyst strip away the armor very quickly on armored enemies, with just a few bursts needed to strip away armor on lower levels if procs occur. The damage can more easily take down the health of the Grineer with each burst as a result.
==Trivia==
*The spores fires on normal attacks are colored by the player's color scheme, while spores shot with the secondary tether attack are grey and otherwise colorless. This can be seen when shooting them with .
*The name may be a combination of "Parasite" and "Cyst." Parasite is commonly any organism that invades a host to drain nutrients, much like how the Infestation is a parasite to the Quanta. Cyst refers to sacs filled with fluids and other materials that expel when opened. This could be in reference to the Paracyst's alt fire.
*The Paracyst closely resembles the tentacle-like structure of Jordas Golem's supposed mouth.
==Known Bugs==
*Secondary firing mode is listed as burst fire, despite actually being a charge firing mode.
* is multiplicative to base damage sources on direct hits from harpoon.
