Comparisons:

Acquisition[]

  • The Synoid Gammacor can be acquired by reaching the Rank of Genius with Cephalon Suda, and spending ReputationLarge 100,000 to purchase. As with all Syndicate Weapons, the Synoid Gammacor cannot be chosen as the free offering upon ranking up to Genius rank.
  • Syndicate weapons can be also be acquired via Trading, but only for unranked copies without Forma and Orokin Catalyst installed.
  • Players must have a Mastery Rank of at least 7 to acquire the Synoid Gammacor, either through trading or through the Syndicates themselves.

Notes[]

  • The Synoid Gammacor's beam when fired does not immediately hit at its maximum range. Instead it takes around half a second to extend to its maximum range, and will maintain that range as long as the weapon is being fired. The beam retracts when the weapon stops firing.

Incarnon Genesis[]

Evolution[]

  • Installing the Gammacor Incarnon Genesis requires 20 PathosClamp Pathos Clamps, 70 Ueymag Ueymag, and 80 Lamentus Lamentus.
  • When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;

Evolution I[]

  • Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charge.
  • Fires projectiles that pull enemies into a DmgColdSmall64 Cold Damage explosion.
    • Incarnon Form shoots semi-automatic projectiles that deal guaranteed DmgImpactSmall64 Impact proc on direct impacts, then pulls and staggers enemies within 5 meters for 1.2 seconds before exploding, inflicting pure 760 DmgColdSmall64 Cold damage with a guaranteed DmgColdSmall64 Cold proc on the explosion. However it has significantly slower Fire Rate and the explosion possesses Damage Falloff from 100% to 70% from central impact.
  • Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
  • Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticle by achieving headshots and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 15 headshots will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
    • Charges generate only on headshots, and not other weakspots, such as the backpacks of most MOA variants. Similarly, shooting weakspots generated by either Sonar130xWhite Sonar or Mod TT 20px Detect Vulnerability in places other than heads will have no effect either.
    • Headshots on corpses do not build charges.
    • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.
  • Instead of drawing ammunition from its reserves, the Gammacor's Incarnon Form uses a separate "magazine" with each charge producing 1 rounds to a maximum of 15. Once all ammunition is expended, the Gammacor reverts to its normal form.
    • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
    • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as EnergizedMunitions130xWhite Energized Munitions).
    • Charges and Incarnon Form persists through all activities, such as holstering, bleedout, or being disarmed. However, charges and Incarnon Form are removed upon death.
  • Swapping to and from Incarnon Form will fully reload the normal form's magazine.

    • Increase Status Chance by +20% (Gammacor) / +10% (Synoid).

Tips[]

  • Mod TT 20px Ruinous Extension can aid in extending the short range of this weapon.
  • As the Synoid Gammacor already innately deals DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic damage, it can accept other combination elemental damage types that use DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity or DmgColdSmall64 Cold damage as a base. In particular, adding DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation damage makes the Synoid Gammacor highly effective against Corpus proxies like MOAs that possess both Shields and Robotic hit points. The Synoid Gammacor can also be equipped with DmgViralSmall64 Viral damage to make it highly effective against organic Corpus like Crewmen which posses both Shields and Flesh hit points.
  • The innate Vazarin Pol polarity can somewhat limit elemental modding potential if Mod TT 20px Galvanized Shot is not available, thus making it a less desirable polarity. If you wish to focus more on elemental damage, then it is recommended to either ignore the polarity or use Forma to turn it into a more suitable polarity.
  • Aiming the Synoid Gammacor's beam through VoltIcon272 Volt's ElectricShield130xWhite Electric Shield will increase the beam's range while still having the advantages of hit-scan and pinpoint accuracy
    • However, when aiming the beam through the shield it can be a bit harder to aim at targets from a distance due to the shining light of the beam on contact of any surface (in this case: the Electric Shield).
    • Shooting through the Electric Shield will give the weapon additional DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity damage.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike most secondary weapons, the Synoid Gammacor is worn like a gauntlet on the Warframe's right arm.
  • The Synoid version replaces the circular holograms formed on the arm with the Cephalon Suda emblem.
  • The word 'Synoid' is likely a corruption of the word 'synod', which is an assembly of the clergy under a church, or a reference to the word 'synapse', a biological term defining the gap between two neurons. It could also be a deformation of the word sinusoid which is a form of wave used for electrical measurements, since the weapon deals magnetic damage, it would most likely be related to this original term.
  • The Synoid Gammacor was the first item in the game to have the "Synoid" prefix, followed by the Synoid Syandana in second.

Bugs[]

  • Equipping an Extinguished Dragon Key will cause the arsenal UI to display values based on the Gammacor Gammacor's damage.
