Flux Rifle

The Flux Rifle is a laser rifle used by Elite Crewmen. A continuous weapon, the Flux Rifle fires a sustained beam with high damage, enabling it to slice through flesh with ease. It also features a battery that automatically regenerates ammo after the user stops firing for a second.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily damage.
*Innate 0.5 meter punch through.
*Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
**Has a 1 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo. Then, regenerates 40 ammo per second; takes 1.25 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted battery excluding the delay.
**Does not benefit from mods that increase maximum ammo, due to lack of an ammo pool.
**Does not receive benefit from reload-triggered mods such as .
*Can use the Flux Rifle-exclusive mod.
==Acquisition==
The Flux Rifle's blueprint can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.
This weapon can be sold for .
==Notes==
*Because the 50 shots count as part of a single magazine rather than an ammo pool, mods like have no effect.
*Can dismember and slice enemies, making it easier to cut through a line of enemies instead of firing at their corpses prematurely.
**This also helps with Desecrating corpses.
*As of Update 9, the laser graphic now lines up properly with the target reticle.
==Tips==
*Similar to Ramparts and all Archguns, ammo starts to automatically regenerate after 1 second of not firing the weapon. This regeneration delay is affected by reload speed mods like . The regeneration rate is 40 ammo per second.
**The reload speed can also be increased by using a Toxin-based or being under the effect of or .
*The Flux Rifle has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it an ideal candidate for a to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
* and/or makes the Flux Rifle much better for dealing with crowds; simply line yourself up so you hit multiple enemies at once to save ammo.
*When compared with , it is easy to assume that it is a direct upgrade. However, since the normal Flux Rifle is a continuous weapon, the multishot mechanics associated with beams all apply here. This means it is potentially possible to exceed the status proc rate of its variant (especially with ). While the variant has many benefits over the base version, both have potential for different reasons.
==Trivia==
*The Flux Rifle was the first rifle that did not follow the Corpus weapon naming convention; typically a Latin word with two syllables ending in an "a". Others include the and .
*The Flux Rifle was originally meant to be a Grineer weapon, as shown in the Codex art gallery.
*When initially introduced, the Flux Rifle's description was "FLUX RIFLE", presumably a developer oversight.
*The Flux Rifle has a smaller version in the form of the , introduced in Update 9.
*The beam of the Flux Rifle bears cosmetic similarity to the Orokin Tower Death Orb laser beams.
**It is likely that both this gun and the Fusion MOA's main weapon were attempts to replicate this technology.
*The Flux Rifle itself was never used by the Corpus until Operation: Arid Fear introduced Elite Crewmen, several months after this gun was added.
*Up until , , , and (all of which influence fire rate one way or another) had little (if any) impact on the rate at which the Flux Rifle consumed ammunition. This also held true for other continuous-fire weapons at the time (, , etc.)
==Bugs==
*While using Shade, holding down the fire button and then proceeding close to enemies will cloak you, and you will continue to be cloaked until your magazine is drained and you must reload. This tactic uses ammo very quickly but may be useful against heavy opponents as you can inflict heavy damage without them retaliating. If you wish to use this tactic, equip and/or to increase the duration of the time spent cloaked before having to reload.
*During a solo mission when the game is paused while firing the Flux Rifle, one can see both the flash and beam of the gun blinking.
