Amidst the metallic whispers of Fortuna’s underbelly, a weapon hums with liquid potential—Kompressa, the bubble shooter that dances in Yareli’s wake. It isn’t merely a sidearm; it’s a cascading sonnet of viral annihilation, painting corridors in bursts of prismatic destruction. As Tenno skate through grineer fortresses, Kompressa sings its aria: a low-accuracy maestro conducting symphonies of explosive bubbles. Each pull of the trigger releases not projectiles, but volatile orbs that bloom into chaos.

Echoes from the Ventkids

Roky’s stall in Fortuna holds secrets—blueprints traded for standing whispers. At Rank 5-Logical with Ventkids, Tenno surrender 25,000 standing per blueprint fragment. The grind whispers back in goblite tears and tepa nodules. Longwinder lathe coagulant stains their palms as they forge this oddity:

• Barrel: Axidrol alloy ×20, star amarast ×6

• Receiver: Hespazym alloy ×10, mytocardia spores ×40

• Final assembly: 3 orokin cells, 25,000 credits, and 12 hours of anticipation

A ritual of creation. A baptism in coolant fluids.

Then—the void’s answer. Kompressa Prime. Found in relic fissures where time fractures. Neo G9 relics cough up blueprints like common dust; Meso K7 yields barrels only for the patient. Axi N13? A receiver wrapped in uncommon silence. All tradable among drifters. Crafting demands 10 orokin cells—a tithe to forgotten empires—and 15,000 credits. Twelve hours to birth elegance from entropy.

The Alchemy of Stats

Low accuracy belies its genius. For Kompressa thrives not in precision, but in radius. Base stats murmur promises:

• Projectile impact: 8 viral-laced force

• Explosion: 168 blast damage ⚡️ + guaranteed viral spread

• Multishot: 4 bubbles per trigger sigh

• Status chance: 30% per projectile—a contagion conductor

Prime ascends further: blast damage swells to 184, critical chance leaps to 16%, status probability thickens to 36%. Mastery Rank 13’s gate opens to sharper teeth.

Consider the reload—1.8 seconds—a breath between verses. Magazine of 12. Fire rate of 3.33. Blast radius: 2.8 meters of swirling dissolution. It’s a pistol that scoffs at snipers. Why pierce when you can drown?

Modding the Deluge

Five forma carve its soul. Builds aren’t equations—they’re tempests. An endgame symphony:

Galvanized Diffusion and Lethal Torrent weave multishot; Cascadia Flare ignites heat’s fury. Rivens? Slot them where expel mods gasp. This build doesn’t calculate—it overwhelms. Status becomes the language, elemental cocktails the dialect.

Ephemeral Aftermath

Some weapons slash. Kompressa unravels. Against infested swarms? Viral-blast bubbles pop chitin like glass. Corpus shields shiver before electricity’s caress. Grineer armor dissolves in heat-toxin alchemy. And with Yareli? Her fluid dashes sync with Kompressa’s rhythm—skating through explosions as bubbles burst in her slipstream. A dance of impractical grace. Low accuracy? A ruse. For in chaos, it finds purpose.

FAQ

❓ Is Kompressa Prime worth the relic grind?

Absolutely. The stat boosts—especially status and critical chance—transform it from niche to nightmare. Prime’s viral explosions shred high-level SP enemies like wet paper.

❓ Can it function without Yareli?

Yes, but her synergy turns it into poetry. Merulina’s speed + Kompressa’s AoE = mobile carnage. Still lethal on other frames, though less... elegant.

❓ Why use this over meta secondaries?

Kompressa trades raw dps for area denial. Its bubbles create zones of elemental chaos—perfect for corridor lockdowns. Not the strongest, but the most theatrical.

❓ Best riven stats?

Multishot, status chance, or toxin/heat damage. Negative accuracy? Embrace it. Adds to the beautiful disorder.
