History of Escape Velocity

Overview

Escape Velocity is a Legendary Kinetic Submachine Gun in the Kinetic slot with the Lightweight Frame archetype ("Superb Handling. Move faster with this weapon equipped."). It was introduced in Season 10. Its flavor text quotes Arach Jalaal: "The first step toward truth is to let go of all that we know and hold dear."

Perks: the curated roll is IS 5 Circle, High-Caliber Rounds, Grave Robber and Quickdraw. Random rolls can include Overflow, Osmosis, Surrounded, Vorpal Weapon and Elemental Capacitor. A recommended roll is Model 8 Red, Accurized Rounds, Overflow and Osmosis, with Surrounded as an ad-clear alternative.
