Kuva Kraken

The Kuva Kraken is the Kuva variant of the burst-fire sidearm, firing rounds in bursts of three instead of two, with higher critical stats, status chance, fire rate, magazine capacity, and reload speed. The Alternate Fire allows it to fire the whole magazine in a single concentrated burst.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon does primarily damage.
*Alternate Fire shoots all remaining ammunition in the magazine in a quick burst.
**Benefits from magazine increasing mods to further increase the burst's damage.
*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==
*Normal burst fire has significantly more recoil when fired from the hip.
*The Alternate Fire of the Kuva Kraken will eject all of the remaining ammunition in the magazine in a single burst.
**Base "real" fire rate is 20 rounds per second.
**Increasing the magazine size of the weapon such as with () and using recoil reduction mods like can help to make its damage output more consistent and reliable.
**If buffed with unlimited ammo such as from the Reactant Buff, the weapon will only fire its magazine amount at a time, with small delays between each trigger pull.
**The burst can be interrupted with a quick melee attack, dodge roll, or weapon swap.
*The ability to to unload all its magazine in one powerful burst is shared with the Corpus , 's (), and the Amalgam .
==Tips==
*The Kuva Kraken's alt-fire ability synergizes well with 's short-tap bubble, as the quick torrent of shot can pulverize crowds of enemies caught in the bubble. This can be augmented by equipping to further increase the number of shots absorbed by the bubble, as long as the otherwise powerful recoil effect is compensated for.
==Trivia==
*The Grineer text on the side of its barrel translates to "Clash".
