Weapon dossier
When its twin-lasers converge on a target a circuit is created, frying the subject. Built as a shotgun / close-range clear option for squad clear and mission pressure.
Convectrix is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.
Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.
Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.
Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.
expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.
Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).
Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.
Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.
Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.
Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.46.
Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.
Common building blocks for this gun — not a full ranked build, just the mods you’ll see most often.

| Mission / Context | Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Convectrix still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. | |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Use Convectrix when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes. | |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Hold objectives by deleting approach packs with Convectrix, then reposition. | |
| Open World / Long Sightlines | Long sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee. | |
| Solo Boss / Single-Target | Fine if Convectrix has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon. |
