Splatter enemies with a short-range stream of corrosive bile and then toss the ammo bladder as a grenade when reloading. The emptier the pistol’s ammo bladder, the more potent its damage. A fully empty bladder packs the biggest punch.

The Face Melter | Coda Catabolyst

[Coda Catabolyst] is now up: Click here for the guide on that!

Empty Slot is Magnetic Might & Element is Radiation

Weapon Information

  • The Coda Catabolyst is the Coda variant of the Catabolyst with increased Base Damage, Status Chance, DPS and no stats decreased with a Mastery Lock of 17.

  • The Coda Catabolyst can be obtained by vanquishing a Technocyte Coda and using live heartcells to obtain the weapon from Eleanor at Hollvania.

  • The Coda Catabolyst comes with 1 V Polarity Slots, making the builds in this guide require 4 Forma.


Coda Element

The Coda Catabolyst has the option of having a Bonus Coda Element based off what was chosen when purchasing the weapon from Eleanor. For this guide I suggest Radiation, allowing the weapon to have the most flexibility against all factions. However, with Valence Override one can have a lot more options and freedom, where I will utilize this in the Builds section.


Advantages

  • Reloading throws a grenade that explodes in a 5-7 meter radius upon impact.

  • Maximum beam range has a small blast radius allowing for it to hit multiple enemies.

  • Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.


Disadvantages

  • Must be manually reloaded due to reload mechanic.

  • Linear Damage Falloff from 9m to 19m.

  • Damage ramps up to 100% over 0.6 seconds and after firing stops for 0.8 seconds it decays.

  • Explosions cause Self-Stagger.
