Weakness:

## About

Searing Firewhips are a variation of Firewhips that only appear during the Kanaloa boss fight. They are identical to normal Firewhips, except that they release a pool of magma upon death in the same fashion as Doomstalkers. This pool damages players who stand in it, and also applies a damage-over-time effect that continuously drains jumpjet energy and health for several seconds.

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.2.1843*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*
## Description

Sub Machine Guns are a category of Secondary Weapons. They are similar to Assault Rifles, but trade accuracy and damage per round for a higher rate of fire and a larger magazine. Additionally, sub machine guns suffer less of an accuracy penalty while moving, making them ideal for shooting on the run. In addition to basic and elemental Weapon Prefixes, sub machine guns can also possess the beam and microplasma prefix types.

## Variants

* Bloodhound
* Frank's Sidearm
* Sub-Machine Gun
Team Deathmatch

**Win condition:** first team to get 25 kills.

**Reward:** *[Victory]* 16000 XP *[Defeat]* 13000 XP

**Time limit:** 25 minutes

**Team size:** 1v1 -5v5

Proximity Response

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.0.1797*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*
**Proximity Response** is a Recon ability unlocked at level 24. It damages and knocks back nearby enemies, similar to Repulsor Blast. Additionally, targets hit by the ability are also Snared.

## Description

***"The Recon explodes outwards, damaging and knocking back nearby enemies. Affected targets become briefly Snared, significantly reducing their movement speed."***

## Prefixes & Modules

Proximity Response can come with the Barrage, Charged, Cooled, Distant, Energized, Expanding, Lasting, Strengthened, Swift, and Widened Prefix as well as the Custom modifier.

Modules that modify Recharge, AoE, Force and Duration should be used for best effect.

## ARES Suppliers

Proximity Response can be bought at various levels from the following ARES Vendors using local vouchers.

* Blue L30 - The Nest, Supply Officer "Raptor" - 90 vouchers
* Green L38 - FOB Harpoon, Supply Officer Wachi - 50 vouchers
Turret Mode

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.0.1797*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*
**Turret Mode** is a Dreadnaught ability unlocked at level 15. It causes the Dreadnaught to become immobile but gain significantly increased rate of fire and accuracy. Additionally, the Dreadnaught gains a shield that re-applies itself periodically. Turret Mode can only be activated while on the ground. While in Turret Mode, the Dreadnought cannot be knocked back.

## Description

***"Toggled activation ability that locks the Dreadnaught in place. While in Turret Mode, the Dreadnaught has increased damage, rate of fire, accuracy, and a damage absorption shield which re-applies itself."***

## Prefixes & Modules

Turret mode can come with the Blitz, Cooled, Focused, Longarm, Potent, Rapid, and Focused Prefix as well as the Custom prefix. (Focused does not come with the custom modifier).

Modules that modify Recharge, Potency, Range, and Force can be used.

## Gameplay Notes

Due to its relatively short cooldown of 20s, Turret Mode synergizes very well with perks that proc on ability activation, such as Flame Buffer, Health Surge, Energy Spikes, and Invigorate. Also triggering Turret Mode a second time in order to deactivate Turret Mode also counts as an activation for Flame Buffer, Health Surge, Energy Spikes, and Invigorate.

Because Turret Mode prevents the Dreadnought from being knocked back, it can be used against Kanaloa's charge attack.

## Affected by Perks

* Shields Up

Not affected by:

* Augmented Shield Generators
* Resonating Shields

## ARES Suppliers

Turret Mode can be bought at various levels from the following ARES Vendors using local vouchers.

## Description

Surface Deposits, previously called Resource Deposits, are exposed rock formations that contain Metal. The color of the crystals embedded in the rock identifies which metal the rock contains.

It only takes a single Sonic Detonator or a hit with a Scan Hammer to destroy a Resource Deposit, and it is possible to destroy multiple with a single hit if the deposits are grouped tightly together. When destroyed, deposits generate two drops (only one when destroyed with a Scan Hammer) of a random amount of resources of the corresponding resource family, where each drop can contain any amount from 12-70 resources.

## About

Necronus are large, spider-like, biomechanical war machines, as seen in this gameplay video. One is the boss fight of Razor's Edge, and three make an appearance in the Defense of Dredge as targets to be destroyed by the city defense cannons. They have been observed to fire large blasts of energy and appear to need concentrated cannon fire to take them down.

Skiver (Creature Type)

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.1.1833*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*

The **Skivers** are one of the newest discoveries in the fauna of New Eden.

## Official Description

From the official page :

> Skivers are New Eden’s great wildlife mystery. Sightings of these oversized shrimp were first recorded ten years ago, along the coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula. What little we know about the Skiver tells us, definitively, that they are native to Earth. Additionally, their genetic makeup shows no sign of contact with the Melding, lending credence to the hypothesis that the Skiver is a previously-undiscovered species of life.
>
>

> The accepted theory is that Skivers are native to Earth’s oceans, where they had been hunted by a larger predator. It is believed that this predator was either endangered or completely rendered extinct during the Nine Year Winter, allowing the population of the Skiver to explode. Because of their unparalleled reproduction rate – a female can lay upwards of 100,000 eggs at a time – the Skiver was able to rapidly repopulate. However, with a lack of a single predator to keep their population in check, their numbers continued to grow. Eventually they outgrew their natural habitat and began to spread across the ocean and towards land.
>
>

> Although they have expanded well beyond their natural habitat, Skivers continue to find new ways to keep out of sight of potential predators. Being forced to move beyond their natural environment, the Skiver has been shown to be a highly adaptable creature. One commonality in their environmental selections is that each one gives the Skiver a prime defense against potential predators. This includes underwater coves, hollow rocks, and buried in sand. It’s also theorized that some Skivers will even hide inside the carcasses of larger beasts, or even inside living organisms.
>
>

> A single Skiver is known to be highly skittish, often fleeing from creatures half its size. When in numbers, however, these creatures are fiercely aggressive and highly opportunistic. Only leaving the relative safety of their ocean habitat to hunt, groups of Skivers will swarm older or weaker prey. The Skiver’s bite injects their enemy with a small dosage of neurotoxin which, while not especially dangerous in a single dosage, can quickly become fatal when applied via multiple bites. Skivers are also excellent jumpers, able to leap high into the air and drive passing Storm Kestrel, Culex, and other airborne creatures to the ground, where the rest of the swarm can quickly overwhelm it.
>
>

> The best defense against a swarm of Skivers is a solid offense. Keep moving, and attack from a distance.
>
>

Shock Rail

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.3.1861*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*

 **Damage Type** | Energy
 **Rate of Fire** | 1000 ms/burst
 **Range** | 120m

## Description

The Shock Rail is the Electron's signature weapon. Its primary fire is a nearly instantaneous, perfectly accurate beam with moderate damage and the ability to score critical hits. However, the primary fire's damage falls off dramatically over distances, making it less desirable for long range shots. Its secondary fire launches an orb that detonates on impact, which deals splash damage to enemies equal to 80% of the primary fire's damage. The secondary fire also shields allies for a short time.

### Energy Orb Secondary Fire

* Energy damage type.
* Decent speed (45 meters/second)
* Deals splash damage on impact.
* Deals 80% of primary fire's damage.
* Shields allies if targeted.

## Affected By Perks

* Plasma Enthusiast
* Resonating Shields (Secondary fire's shields)
* Shields Up (Secondary fire's shields)

## Trivia

* The original version of the Shock Rail was very similar to the Shock Rifle from the Unreal series, both in name and in function. However, the Shock Rail was much less reliant on hitting the secondary fire with its primary.
* The game alternates between calling the weapon the Shock Rifle and the Shock Rail.

The Firefall Timeline

**The Firefall Timeline** is a series of historical articles released in December 2010 that revealed much of the history and lore behind the game's setting. Originally known as the **Twelve Days of Firefall**, the name was later changed when Orson Scott Card joined Red5 and rewrote much of the lore. The Timeline is "written" by historian Aris Holden, and covers almost 50 years of Firefall history.

## The Firefall Timeline

* 2177.8 "The Golden Age" - official page
* 2178.6 "Firefall" - official page
* 2180.1 "The European Union" - official page
* 2182.6 "The Fall of the United States" - official page

## Retconned Material

*The pages below were removed from the official lore when Orson Scott Card rewrote the lore. They are original parts of the "12 Days of Firefall"; we have preserved them here for archival purposes.*

* Day 7 - 2233.72 "The Crystite Wars"
* Day 8 - 2233.78 "The Crystite Wars"

## Timeline of Events

* External Alpha - Our earliest group of testers. We had exactly one PvP map available and only a few Battleframes...
* PvP Maps - The doors were finally opened to the first registered forum members. It was a small group, and we still only played a single map at first.
* Friends & Family - We opened up our testing group to a wider range of friends and family, still playing our only released map: Sunken Harbor.
* Store Launched - We unveiled the first iteration of our online cash shop, and created the Founder's Program to help players support the success of Firefall
* PvE Systems Test - During our PvE systems test, we opened up our first real PvE area around our starter town, Copacabana.
* WE ARE HERE
* PvE Content - Monthly updates are planned, with extensive focus on filling the world with dynamic events and the beginnings of the Chosen War.
* Chosen War - It will be possible to lose an entire shard to the Chosen, and the focus of the game will shift from simple progression and collecting resources, to fighting the war against humanity's greatest enemy.
* Episodic Campaign - Firefall will feature a multi-episode, story driven campaign which players will drive through with their collective actions. The first episode, "Whispers in the Fog" is in heavy development
* Open World PvP - An optional experience for those who prefer larger scale battles with hundreds of players and extensive use of vehicles.
* Next? - What happens next is up to you. As always, we are open to the suggesttions and feedback of our players.
Sub-Machine Gun

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.3.1861*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*

 **Damage Type** | Kinetic (Bullet)
 **Rate of Fire** | 60 ms/burst
 **Range** | 70m

## Description

The Sub Machine Gun is a secondary weapon suited for close range and highly mobile combat. The Sub Machine Gun works similarly to the Assault Rifle, but trades damage and long range accuracy for a higher rate of fire, larger magazine, and no accuracy penalty due to movement. It can be thought of as a weaker version of the Dreadnaught's primary weapon. Its secondary fire switches to the ironsights, which reduces movement speed and accuracy.

Like all secondary weapons, the Sub-Machine Gun can be equipped on any Battleframe.

## Trivia

* The Sub Machine Gun closely resembles the real steel P90 sub-machine gun.
* The Sub Machine Gun was originally called the Suppressor Rifle.

Thumpers

Thumpers are the main mode of resource harvesting. Thumper come in 3 types, Stock, Improved, and Advanced. Each has a different capacity and HP, along with a skill level. The higher skill level, the harder it is to defend it from enemy spawns.

Thumper work in conjuncture with Scan Hammers, and are generally placed on areas of a high concentration of Crystite. When a Thumper is dropped, it is brought by aircraft, and instantly starts working. When full, or any time before hand, you may interact with the Thumper, sending it back up and granting you resources depending on skill level, capacity, and location.

If a Thumper is destroyed, all harvested Crystite is lost.

Shield Wall

*This page was last updated during patch* v1.0.1797*. The current patch is* v1.6.1946*.*
*This article may be outdated. Please check the* Patch Notes *for more details.*

## Description

***"The Mammoth raises a durable forward shield that blocks incoming enemy projectiles, while allowing the Mammoth to shoot unhindered. In addition, allies behind the Mammoth become Resiliant, reducing damage taken."***

Shield Wall is one of the Mammoth's abilities. It creates a vertical shield directly in front of and tied to the Mammoth. The shield blocks all enemy fire, but allows any friendly fire to pass through. Additionally, any friendlies behind the shield become Resiliant and take less damage.

## Prefixes & Modules

Shield Wall can come with the Charged, Cooled, Energized, Lasting, Strengthened, and Swift Prefix as well as the Custom prefix.

Modules that modify Recharge, Force, and Duration can be used.

## Gameplay Notes

Shield Wall is often considered the 'bread and butter' skill for the Mammoth, as it provides a huge boost to defensibility for the duration with no offensive downsides. Some care must be taken in positioning to ensure that the maximum number of enemies's shots are blocked.

In PvP, the weakness of the shield is that it does not extend to ground level; any AoE damage, such as the Assault's Plasma Cannon, if aimed at the feet of the Mammoth, will deal full damage.

## Affected by Perks

* Shields Up
* Resonating Shields
* Augmented Shield Generators

## Ares Suppliers

Shield Wall can be bought at various levels from the following ARES Vendors using local vouchers.

* Green L7 - Northern Shores, Supply Officer Booker - 20 vouchers
* Blue L13 - Cerrado Plains, Supply Officer Cook - 90 vouchers
* Green L22 - Shanty Town, Supply Officer "Shadow" - 30 vouchers
* Blue L32 - FOB Sagan, Supply Officer Bender - 100 vouchers
* Blue L39 - Crossroads Station, Supply Officer Smith - 110 vouchers

Firefall allows for player-controlled vehicles, as showed by the gameplay video and the hidden Golden Ticket video.

Currently Glider pads can be used to activate Gliders as a mean of aerial navigation.

Commander-level Founders have access to the Locust, a Light Ground Vehicle exclusive to Commanders.

The vehicle in the 'golden ticket' video looks more like an armored personnel carrier.

Also shown in the gameplay trailer is a dropship-style air transport, which (as of this writing) is not player controlled, but may become so at some point in the future.
