Tenno ‘Moira’ Hunting Revolver
“This Tenno explosive caseless revolver was designed to find the biggest game in the system, and cull it in the highest possible numbers. Headshots with this weapon in contact-detontion mode cause its explosive projectiles to ricochet towards nearby enemies, sticky mode plasters enemies with sticky explosive projectiles and throws them towards nearby enemies on kills, and kills with this weapon cause them to explode.
--codex
Special Traits:
Atropos: Kills with this weapon cause enemies to explode. Explosions from headshot kills do increased damage and cause forced cold procs.

Lore
A simpler ancestor of the Naga revolver, the ‘Moira’ boasts massive caseless rounds with a large explosive payload. Its ammo is, not to put too fine a point on it, weird.
Firstly, headshots with this weapon cause its explosive projectiles to ricochet towards nearby enemies, essentially allowing it to explode twice. Kills with this weapon cause enemies to explode, but headshots with this weapon increase the damage of these explosions.
Thirdly, it comes with a sticky altfire mode similar to that of the Reason autorevolver. Rounds fired in this mode stick to enemies, delaying the explosion until the enemy is killed. Kills on stickied enemies cause all projectiles (including a sticky, if you fired it) to explode and ricochet towards nearby enemies. This essentially turns any enemy that’s been stickied into a Kulstar-like cluster bomb.
In addition, sticky mode deals forced cold procs on headshots, and the sticky mode explosion does not do cold damage. Kills with this weapon also cause enemies to explode in a torrent of cold damage.
The result is a pistol that can devastate entire crowds with a single well-placed shot, barraging enemies with massive amounts of status.
The Depezador Prime was built to hammer into enemies with successive headshots, the Vasto Prime was meant to lacerate enemies, and the Estampida was built to obliterate single targets, but this? This was made to scythe through crowds like wheat.
Haruka Lorne designed this pistol to reach out into a crowd of dangerous Infestation - essentially, a way to hunt out-of-control Infested, emphasizing precise shots like a hunting pistol while also rewarding this precision with explosive damage.
During the Old War era, the Moira had two primary users: Firstly, Orokin elites used it on hunting trips to recreationally cull Infested and other targets that displeased them, and Tenno assigned on expeditions to Plague Moons or Infested outbreaks who intended to clear out as many as possible.
One precise shot with this weapon into the head can essentially double the amount of enemies caught in the blast radius, assuming it doesn’t turn them into a minefield as each of them explode, one by one.
With the preponderance of humanoid enemies in the Origin System nowadays, however, its impact is much more keenly felt. Against crowds of charging grineer or corpus, this pistol can punch through a shield or armor, leave a hole the size of a fist, freeze (or irradiate, or sicken) all enemies within a small radius…
Twice over.
These weapons reentered the Origin System not long after the Great Narmer War. While confined on Deimos, Haruka Lorne’s fireteam of Tenno and the Entrati found themselves with little to do but clean and explore the Necralisk and various Infested labs…
…and these were found within an isolation vault, bearing the signatures of Haruka Lorne and Father Entrati. In fact, it bore his real name, but Father chose to stay with his new name on the basis that he preferred to be a new person.
According to these notes, the Moira was an attempt to create a short-range, high-caliber version of the Cenotaph semiauto cannon - something that rewarded precision not by killing enemies around it faster, but by overloading them with status effects and slowing them.
The ricochet mode was, much like that of the Adjudicas, added partly for laughs so Father and Haruka could set up particularly strange trickshots.
It loads using a loading lever similar to the ancient Remington 1858 revolver - the loading lever is pulled down, allowing the cylinder to be quickly removed.

Artist Notes:
Yes, it’s hitscan.
First off, I realize that the altfire has so much more presence than primary fire, but think of it this way: secondary fire is for people that want to be more deliberate, primary fire is for moments where you need that extra damage and you need it now.

This drawing was passed back and forth between lots of different ideas. Originally it was the model for the Charbon, then it was the model for the Avanc, and then I changed it to… something else. Originally, it had a headshot explosion function in addition to its regular old explosive rounds and headshot kill explosion. But that was frighteningly hard to stat.
Also, it stepped on the toes of the Spartoi (Which was meant to feel like a precision cluster bomb pistol) and the Makina, which does headshot damage explosions and has massive status. Also, the Makina was also a nightmare to balance and I wasn’t interested in reproducing the nightmare.
Anyway. This is based on Captain Harlock’s Cosmo Dragoon…. Except, instead of a Colt Dragoon as the base, I used a Remington 1858 cap and ball revolver. This one is perhaps most well-known for having a removable cylinder. That’s actually how this thing reloads, too!
The name, however, is a reference to the Fatebringer Hand Cannon from Destiny. “Moira” is the singular form for one of the Greek Fates. And also the name of the owner of this 155-pound wolfdog I know. I thought it was funny how it was already explosive and caused headshot kill explosions, so this is an attempt to replicate that while still making it hitscan.
