Kuva Chakkhurr

The Kuva Chakkhurr is a unique Kuva flintlock-styled rifle. It fires explosive rounds that deal immense damage, even more so on headshots, at the expense of a low fire rate, slow reload speed, and limited ammo reserves.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily damage.
*Direct shots deals 50% more headshot damage.
*Shots explode in a 2.9 meter radius after impacting a surface or enemy.
**Both initial hit and explosion have guaranteed proc. 
**Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
**Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
**Can benefit from () and .
*Innate two polarities.
*Comes with an additional bonus , , , , , , or damage, based on the Kuva Lich's progenitor Warframe, which increases the listed base damage of the weapon by 25%-60%.
**Valence Fusion can optionally change the resulting output damage type, and can upgrade the bonus increase (up to 60%).
*Polarizing the weapon increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 after 5 polarizations, granting the weapon additional mod capacity.
*Listed Mastery Rank requirement is not enforced - the weapon may theoretically be obtained at any mastery rank by acquiring and vanquishing a Kuva Lich that has this weapon equipped.

==Notes==
*The +50% bonus damage on headshots is additive to other sources of +bonus damage on headshot such as and .
==Tips==
* is particularly well-suited for this weapon; can be used to hold enemies in place, can mitigate the Kuva Chakkurr's slow fire rate and reload speed, and the bonus critical chance from , particularity the quadrupled bonus on headshots, can make easy work of clustered enemies.
* is also well-suited for the rifle, as will slow enemies down and will allow him to easily compensate for the projectile's lead time and land an easy headshot.
*A Kuva Chakkhurr with bonus or is a good choice for Eidolon Teralyst hunts, though the slow fire rate will have to be compensated for via modding and/or .
*Because of its guaranteed procs and slow fire rate, the Kuva Chakkhurr is well-suited to use .
==Trivia==
*As mentioned above, the Kuva Chakkhurr is modeled after flintlock firearms, which operated by striking a piece of flint on a steel plate, generating sparks that ignite gunpowder covered by the steel plate and discharging the round. Aspects of the Chakkhurr's design allude to this;
**The most obvious instances are two levers on the Chakkhurr's receiver that swing forward every time it is fired, analogous to a flintlock's hammer, which held the flint. The use of gunpowder is also reflected with copious amounts of smoke created every time the Chakkhurr is fired.
**The hook at the bottom of the barrel, which is largely ornamental, is based on the ramrod, which was used during reloading to compress both the round and the gunpowder to improve the likelihood of a successful discharge. Reloading a flintlock was also a time-consuming process; the gunpowder and round were loaded from the muzzle then the ramrod was pushed up the barrel. This serves as the basis of the Chakkhurr's slow reload speed.
**Some armies used paper cartridges, which had pre-measured amounts of gunpowder and had portions tied off with thread to speed up reloading, and these portions would be untied to first use the gunpowder. The Chakkhurr's reload animation consists of pulling the string to release the old magazine and pulling it again to secure the fresh magazine.
*Whenever the Kuva Chakkhurr is fired into a large enough space, such as a Landscape mission, the shot will be followed by the sound of a bullet cutting through the air; a feature currently unique to the Chakkhurr .
*"Chakkhurr" is an onomatopoeia for flintlock rifles. "Chak" for the flint knapped striker striking the steel frizzen (steel downward part of a flintlock rifle, to create a spark), and the "khurr" for the resulting fiery, slow gunpowder explosion.
==Bugs==
*If a shot is fired off at the same time when using Mesa's Peacemaker, then it will make the Kuva Chakkhurr automatically hit one target without having to aim.
