The Ferrox is one of three spearguns in Warframe. Given its Corpus origin it has a blocky, cyber-tech design and utilizes Electric Damage for its alt-fire mechanic. As this is our first (alphabetically) introduction to the Speargun archetype, it is important to point out that Spearguns in Warframe have a unique secondary fire mode where the Tenno throws the weapon to cause a specific effect. This removes the weapon from their loadout until the alt-fire timer runs out, or the player picks up the weapon again — which forces the player to use only their secondary weapon and melee weapon for a short time.
The Ferrox’s primary fire mode shoots a single laser bolt, while throwing the weapon using alt-fire pulls enemies in and creates a field of Electricity Damage that will arc to enemies within 10 meters for a short time. The alternate fire mode can be employed when the Ferrox is low on ammo and the Tenno requires a distraction to allow them to reposition, while deployed in its alternate fire mode the Ferrox reloads its clip over time and consumes no ammunition.
