Nukor

The Nukor is a sidearm that fires a microwave-like frequency beam that inflicts damage, boasting an extreme critical multiplier is heavily offset by its almost nonexistent critical chance. It also has a unique status effect called that enlarges enemy body parts.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals damage.
*Can inflict a unique status effect called , enlarging the body part that was shot at.
*Damage ramps up from 30% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 30% over 2 seconds.
**Lower range (25m vs 29m)
==Acquisition==
The Nukor's blueprint can be researched from the Chem Lab in the dojo.
==Notes==
*Nukor can proc an invisible Status Effect called that causes the part of the enemy hit to become larger.
**Microwave procs have infinite duration, but the visual effect does not.
**Microwave counts as an individual status for , , , and .
==Tips==
*There are several ways to make use of the Nukor's high critical damage by adding flat critical chance bonuses:
**An Adarza Kavat with can give your weapons an additive 60% boost to critical chance.
**Likewise, Smeeta Kavat's can guarantee orange crits as one of its possible effects.
**Using the Secondary Fire of the and afterwards firing the Nukor through the orb adds a flat +25% critical chance, in addition to +25% critical damage and extra .
**'s can add up to +50% additive crit chance, or +200% on headshots, after absorbing enough damage.
**A fully ranked has a 21% chance upon receiving damage to grant +45% flat critical chance.
** can gradually increase the Nukor's critical chance until a set number of tier 2/orange/big critical hits.
*With a maxed and , the Nukor can achieve a critical damage multiplier of 10.8x, the highest critical damage multiplier value achievable outside of red crits.
**It is however ill-advised to use Hollow Point if attempting a critical damage build due to the Nukor's extremely low critical chance.
*The Nukor's short range, high accuracy and cone of fire means that can be used to provide additional damage without severe penalty.
*The Nukor can be made into an effective anti-Sentient weapon by adding damage which, in combination with its innate damage, allows the Nukor to deal extra damage against Sentients while stripping their armor with Corrosive status effects.
==Trivia==
*This is the first known manufactured Grineer energy weapon and the second gun to deal pure radiation damage, the first being the .
**The  is technically the first Grineer energy weapon, as its projectiles appear to be energy; as well when reloading the magazine, an energy-like substance appears to discharge. Though there is the possibility that these projectiles could be superheated materials.
**The Seer is also composed of Orokin technology, and not actually made by the Grineer entirely; this can bring to question whether or not the Grineer possessed the technology and/or know how to create an energy source or if it was simply salvaged from the Orokin tech.
*As a microwave beam weapon, the Nukor could be considered a maser - such devices work similar to lasers, but using lower frequency microwave radiation.
**The name itself is likely a nod to 'nuking', a term used to refer to cooking/reheating food or drink using a microwave oven.
*As the Nukor is being fired, its magazine will rotate and its front encasing will slowly open up. This can be assumed to be a method of cooling the weapon as it heats up during operation. 
*The aimed body part of the target inflates in size as the target is damaged, as demonstrated by the picture above, identical to the effect of . This also works on bosses and other Warframes in PvP.
*Enemies killed by the Nukor dissolve in a fashion similar to 's , however this effect is purely visual and corpses can still be d.
**If said enemies had been killed by Nukor damage and sliced in half, the corpses will reappear.
*Oddly, the Nukor has two separate energy colors when used with its default palette, being orange for the weapon energy colors themselves and blue for its radioactive beam and warped circles.
**This however changes when the user is applying their own energy color and will apply the single color to both.
*Previously, the Nukor's beam was treated as a source of AoE damage (such as an explosion) from point of contact of the Nukor's beam, allowing it to penetrate Shield Lancer's shields (not to be confused with Punch Through).
