CODEX

Forged in the fires of rebel struggle, this shotgun is a force for liberation.

The Vaykor Hek is a Hek variant available only from Steel Meridian. Boasting double the magazine capacity of the base variant, a faster rate of fire, and an increased critical chance, the Vaykor Hek also comes with an innate Justice effect. It does, however, take slightly longer to reload than the base variant.

This weapon deals primarily damage.

• Very high damage
  • High damage – effective against armor.
• High critical chance.
• High status chance.
• Innate Justice effect.
• Comes with a and polarity.

  • Higher Crit chance (25.0% vs. 10%).

  • Higher Fire rate (3.00 vs. 2.17)
  • Slower reload speed (2.3 vs. 2.0)

Acquisition

• The Vaykor Hek can be acquired by reaching the Rank of General with Steel Meridian, and spending 125,000 Standing 125,000 to purchase. As with all Syndicate Weapons, the Vaykor Hek cannot be chosen as the free offering upon ranking up to General rank.
• Syndicate weapons can also be acquired via Trading, but only for unranked copies without Forma and Orokin Catalyst installed.

Notes

• Cannot be equipped with the Hek exclusive Scattered Justice, due to the Vaykor variant already having innate Justice effect and improved stats.

Tips

• The Vaykor Hek's doubled capacity makes the Ammo Stock and Burdened Magazine modifications significantly more effective, granting a maximum capacity of up to 17-18 rounds.
• The Vaykor Hek has over double the critical potential of the normal Hek. This combined with more rounds in a magazine and a higher fire rate, means the Vaykor is more viable for a critical oriented build.
