History of High-Impact Frame

High-Impact Frame is an intrinsic weapon archetype for slow-firing, high-damage weapons. It trades rate of fire for damage per shot, and the in-game text says these weapons are more accurate when stationary, moving slowly and aiming down sights.

Weapon types

The frame appears on Machine Guns, Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, Fusion Rifles and some Rocket Launchers. The wiki counts about 32 weapons with the frame. Qua Xaphan V is a machine gun example, and Roar of the Bear is a rocket launcher example that community guides regard as one of the strongest High-Impact Frame weapons.

Stats

The sources checked give no numeric values for accuracy, handling, stability or RPM for the frame. The trade-off is slower firing for higher damage.

Tips

• Pair it with perks that suit a deliberate, planted playstyle. The accuracy bonus depends on not moving quickly.
• On Roar of the Bear, a PvP roll that uses High-Velocity Rounds and Quick Launch adds a large velocity gain, and Impulse Amplifier pushes velocity further.
