## Acquisition

* The Ignis Wraith can be acquired from The Pacifism Defect event. The exact form in which the weapon can be acquired however differs depending on the level of participation during the event:
	+ All Clan players who participated that achieve a specified score (e.g. 260 for Ghost clans) received an Ignis Wraith blueprint at the end of the event.
	+ All players in Clans that achieved a higher specified score during the event (e.g. 4,000 for Ghost clans) immediately received a complete Ignis Wraith with pre-installed Orokin Catalyst and a weapon slot.
	+ Clans that place within the Top 10% scoring clans within their tier received the Ignis Wraith as a Research project at the end of the event.
* Its blueprint is tradable.

## Notes

 File:Igniswraith hitboxes.png
* The Ignis Wraith's hit detection is composed of two parts:
	+ A perfectly accurate central beam that reaches up to 27m. This beam has a 0.15 meter radius, unlike other beam weapons whose beams are very narrow.
	+ A 3 meter spherical AoE that appears at the end of this beam.
		- This sphere will NOT appear while the beam is initially extending. It will appear when the beam collides with something, or when fully extended at 27m.
* The central beam will deal the listed damage of the weapon. The spherical AoE will deal 0.50x the listed damage.

* When combined with other elemental mods, such as , it will no longer deal the original fire damage, losing its high bonus versus Light Infested (+50%). Thus, it is advised to add  damage to create  damage to kill Light Infested. Add  +  to create  damage, and add  to create  damage to kill Heavy Infested.
* The Ignis Wraith's spherical AoE can destroy rockets launched from a Bombard's Ogris.
	+ This only works if the Ignis deals  or  damage. Building for  or  will not produce this effect.
* The Ignis Wraith can deal headshots and target enemy weakspots.

## Tips

* {{#vardefine:Name|Hellfire}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found and {{#vardefine:Name|Wildfire}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found apply fire elemental mod damage to the weapon. They do not act like base damage mods, but rather stack with the innate  damage of the weapon.
* Adding , , or  in addition to  damage makes the Ignis very effective versus Grineer / Corpus / Infested, though less effective against Corpus Proto Shields.
* It is a wise idea to equip a long-ranged weapon in your secondary slot when using the Ignis Wraith.
* It is unwise to have Specters equip this gun as they only fire on targets when they are ~10m away from them.
* {{#vardefine:Name|Combustion Beam}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found can be equipped to the Ignis Wraith, causing enemies to deal damage on death to other nearby enemies. This aids in crowd control and quicker elimination of weaker and closely-grouped enemies.
* Due to its nature of AoE, this weapon is particularly effective against destructible projectiles.
* Adding {{#vardefine:Name|Heavy Caliber}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found as a second {{#vardefine:Name|Serration}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found results in an increase of damage. The reduction of accuracy will cause the beam to slightly waver, which is a negative for most weapons, but is arguably a benefit for the Ignis as the effective AoE spread will widen slightly.
	+ The loss in accuracy is small enough that the central beam will still land headshots consistently at maximum distance, even with {{#vardefine:Name|Sinister Reach}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found equipped.
* The Ignis Wraith is designed to deal with crowds, spreading low damage but hitting all enemies in range, where most other weapons (besides explosive dealing AoE weapons) are single or multi-target. In other words, the larger the crowd, the better the weapon becomes at distributing damage compared to most other weapons.
* The Ignis Wraith is very useful in reactor core Sabotage missions, as its spherical AoE allows it to destroy several exposed reactor cores at once.
* Shade's {{#vardefine:Name|Ghost}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found can activate even if the Ignis Wraith is being fired, so long as the fire key is held down upon Ghost's activation.
	+ This is more effective on the Wraith variant, as it has 50 more magazine capacity over the original, allowing more time to be cloaked and deal damage.
* {{#vardefine:Name|Sinister Reach}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found can also be equipped on the Ignis Wraith, greatly increasing the range of its central beam. This will also move the spherical AoE forward by the same distance.
* The radius of the spherical AoE can be increased with {{#vardefine:Name|Firestorm}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found.

## Trivia

* The Ignis Wraith was hinted at by a forum post sent by Rebecca Ford regarding the then-upcoming The Pacifism Defect event that was an Acrostic, a form of writing where the first letter of each line spells out a word or words. The message, with the first letter of each line bolded for clarity, read as follows;

## Bugs

* The flame effect will vanish when pressing the fire button in short bursts, causing the weapon to sometimes be firing invisible flames.
* ~~The weapon, along with the Ignis, has an additional 5m hemispherical AoE that appears at 40m (that is, a 5-meter spherical AoE centered at 40m with the far half cut off).~~ This was fixed in an undocumented change sometime around Update 20.4.

* All Beam weapons now start their Damage ramp up at 20% (instead of 10%).
* The Multishot chance should now apply more consistently with Beam weapons.
* Fixed Beam weapons continuously firing when quick Meleeing.
