Collective Pugilism
Collecting an Elemental pickup or destroying a Tangle grants this weapon a stacking period of melee energy generation on hit. Throwing a Tangle provides additional time.

Elemental pickups include [Solar]Firesprites, [Void]Void Breaches, [Arc]Ionic Traces, [Stasis]Stasis Shards, and [Strand]Strand Tangles.
Shoot to Loot
Shooting an Orb of Power picks it up. Shooting an ammo brick picks it up and automatically reloads all of your equipped weapons from reserves.
Subsistence
Defeating targets partially reloads the magazine from reserves.
Rewind Rounds
When this weapon's magazine is empty, it refills from reserves based on the number of hits.
Stats for All
Hitting three separate targets increases weapon handling, stability, reload, and range for a moderate duration.
Tear
Precision final blows cause nearby targets to become severed.

Killing Tally
Kills increase this weapon's damage until it is stowed or reloaded.
Target Lock
Damage increases the longer this weapon remains on a target.
Elemental Honing
Dealing unique elemental damage grants this weapon a stacking damage bonus. This bonus is increased for kinetic weapons.
Detonator Beam
Dealing sustained damage creates an explosion around the target.
Hatchling
Precision final blows or rapidly defeating targets with this weapon spawns a Threadling at the target's location.
Chaos Reshaped
This weapon gains bonus damage while in combat for an extended time. Remaining in combat for even longer rewards a larger damage bonus and periodically heals the wielder.

Subjugation
Weapon adapts to targets. When dealing damage:

• To weak targets: shots explode
• To strong targets: targets become exhausted
• To Guardians: the weapon's flinch resistance increases

Exhausted targets deal reduced outgoing damage.
