Crimson Intrinsic Traits
Banned Weapon
The banned weapon intrinsic trait causes the Crimson to fire a 3-round burst.
With the ability to fire a 3-round burst, the Crimson is capable of dealing a high amount of damage, especially since it is a hand cannon.
The faster you can fire rounds from this weapon, the faster you will be able to heal yourself with its Cruel Remedy trait and refill its magazine with precision kills.
How to Get Crimson Catalyst?
The crimson Catalyst will upgrade the Crimson by increasing its range by 18 once you have completed its required challenges.
The increase in range makes the Crimson deadlier from afar and allows you to hit enemies similar to the range of a rifle.
The Crimson Catalyst can be obtained by defeating non-Guardian enemies found anywhere in the system.
To unlock the Crimson Catalyst’s upgrade, you will need to defeat 300 enemies with precision damage when using the Crimson.
Verdict
The Crimson is quite a remarkable and deadly weapon due to its ability to unleash several shots and the base damage of it being a hand cannon.
With the ability to heal you when you kill enemies, this can help improve survivability, allowing you to rush into combat while carefully picking enemies off.
Since it provides ammo replenishing with precision kills, you can continuously fight off enemies with seemingly unlimited ammunition.
