Quellor

Status Primary / Primer

The Quellor was standard-issue to Dax Railjack crews of the Old War, dating back to the earliest, pre-Sigma craft. A rapid-fire assault rifle with a hefty magazine-size, the Quellor is an all-round workhorse. Also capable of large, short-range cryo-blasts.

Playstyle

The Quellor was standard-issue to Dax Railjack crews of the Old War, dating back to the earliest, pre-Sigma craft. Built as a status primary / primer option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Quellor is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

  • You want a Rifle that fits a status primary / primer play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Quellor does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
  • You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Attack Modes

  • Auto

    Impact 8 · Slash 12 · Puncture 22 · Cold 16

    Hit-Scan · Crit 12% / 1.6× · Status 38% · Fire Rate 6

  • Alt-Fire

    Impact 600 · Cold 800

    Projectile · Crit 40% / 2.2× · Status 10% · Fire Rate 1 · Projectile 200 · Falloff 9–18m (−67%)

Attack Notes

  • Auto (Hit-Scan): Impact 8.0, Slash 12.0, Puncture 22.0.
  • Alt-Fire (Projectile): Impact 600.0, Cold 800.0.

Upgrades

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

  • Orokin CatalystCapacity

    Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

    Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

  • FormaPolarity

    Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

    expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  • Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

    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.

  • Primary Arcane AdapterArcane

    Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

    Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

  • Riven ModRiven

    Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.15.

    Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

Mod Scaling

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.

Priority

Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongTest whether Quellor still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Quellor when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongHold objectives by deleting approach packs with Quellor, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Quellor has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.
