Description

Tenno ‘Jubal’ Assault Rifle
“This caseless assault rifle, a distant relative of the Avakan rifle, was made as a gift for one of Haruka Lorne’s human lovers, Jubal the Smiler. It acts as, essentially, a larger, automatic version of the [DATA CORRUPTED] revolver, using successive hits to build up ricochets on headshots. It doesn’t have the sheer stopping power of the [DATA CORRUPTED], but it more than makes up for it with volume of fire.”
Codex

Special Traits
+20% Bonus Headshot Damage
Smart Choke: Pausing in between shots for up to 0.5 seconds (this is not affected by fire rate mods) while aimed gives the next shot 50% more damage and 20% more headshot damage, for a total of 40% bonus headshot damage
Ricochet: Successive hits with this weapon cause bullets to ricochet to nearby enemies on headshots. The more successive shots you land with this weapon, the more enemies a bullet ricochets towards, for a total of five ricochets. Missing a shot causes this to reset.

Lore

This is essentially a mid-road between assault rifle, LMG, and battle rifle, marrying full auto fire with the precision of a battle rifle. It’s chambered for larger-caliber rounds than the Euston, but it’s caseless so it has a slightly lower rate of fire. Its heavy barrel helps cool it.
Using Entrati siphon technology graciously given by the Entrati and an advanced Orokin quantum something-or-other, headshots cause bullets to ricochet to nearby enemies. The more successive shots you land with this weapon, the more enemies a bullet ricochets towards, for a total of five ricochets.
Pausing in between shots for up to 0.5 seconds (this is not affected by fire rate mods) while aimed, however, will make the next shot fired deal 50% more damage and 20% more headshot damage, in addition to its already high headshot multiplier. Despite being an automatic weapon, it has deceptively high one-shot potential.
Status and crit are equally important on this weapon’s build. While the Jubal has decent crit, it is very good at spreading out status. There’s a number of interesting ways to build it - you can add hunter munitions for a standard crit build, use Primed Shred to build up ricochet charges quickly, or just go for a >100% status build to ensure every enemy in the immediate area is suffering from a deadly virus and also on fire. There’s also the sheer utility and fun-factor of adding on a less-meta damage type like electric and spreading that all over a battlefield.
And Dax Jubal used every single one of these combinations to great effect. It became something of a trademark of his during the desperate Ganymede Blitz, an atrocity in which the Sentients wanted nothing so much as the starvation of the entire population of the outer planets.
During this atrocity, a surprise offensive so terrible the Orokin seriously considered the concept of “war crimes” once more, the Sentients unleashed a modified Technoyte Infection known as the Melding Plague on the moon, in addition to crop blights and psychotropic warheads. This killed, injured, and mentally destroyed almost four tenths of the moon’s population.
During the valiant defense of Ganymede alongside Mad Dax Ori, █████████ and the Tenno Haruka Lorne, Ginebra, Thane, and Yassin, Jubal sustained grievous wounds. He was later taken for “medical examination” by Executor Vondas and never seen again.
Vondas was later pinholed to death when a stray shot from a Velocitus punched through a bulkhead while his ship’s shields were inactive. He was then dragged through the bulkhead hole by his butt, being shredded by the edges of the hole. A slurry of blood and bone, starting with his butt, then sprayed outward from the ship. It was a tragic loss…
...to absolutely nobody. He was not missed.

Artist Notes:
Originally, this had a much longer gas tube, but I turned that down for one reason: It just looked too… normal. It looked like by adding glowing lights, it's was like I was just taping greebles to some forgotten WW2-era firearm.

Originally this was a companion piece to the last weapon I made, but I changed the gimmick up from "Ricochets on headshots" to "guaranteed heat procs on headshots" because I just... I keep coming up with crowd control gimmicks, and I needed to come up with something better for single-target damage, if only to shake things up.

This is inspired heavily by Malcolm Reynolds' pistol (except not made of brass, it's not a Prime weapon) and the heavy Assault Rifle from Outer Worlds. Which reminds me - by moving the gas block back, this looks vaguely like an overstretched and oversized pistol. Neat, huh?d
