Pulse Rifle?

[WarNerve]

I already have the Core Booster Amulet. Does this mean that I'm screwed and can't also get the Pulse Rifle? Or is it still possible for me to get it?

What I'm wondering is.. Since I've already used a cipher to get just he amulet, can I still reroll to try and get the rifle as well? Even though I already went thru with just the single empty slot in my initial world. and inserted the cipher and got the amulet. Will it let me, "do it again", so to speak.

that what rerolling is for, yes

Pulse Rifle has got to be one of the most RNG weapons in the game, in that the map needs to spawn 2 particular zones for the items you need to unlock the area to grab it. OR just re-roll as an Engineer. What a massive difference in the ability to get it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but since key items don't carry over I'm pretty sure you will need to roll a world with the two empty slots, do both dugeons and open both doors, only in the amulet one you'll get scrap instead of the amulet.

That is to say, taking the amulet in a prior world should not preclude you from getting the Plasma Rifle, but by the same token you will likely need to get the two keys again.

This is correct. You'll need to reroll to get a version with both slots. Already having the amulet isn't a problem.

[Player Zer01]

just reroll adventure and run to the custodian. drop down the whole and see if both or the key on the left is missing. if its yes to either then you will get the gun in that instance.

I got the Cipher and the Core in my first N'erud run, but not Abyssal Rift, trying adventure runs to get it but I'm not sure what are the odds of all three of those rolling on a run.

This is correct. When you roll a N'Erud world, it'll generate one of these dungeons or both. If it generates one, there will only be one gate in the Ascension Spire undercroft, and the Pulse Rifle will not spawn.

If it generates both, it will spawn two gates in the undercroft, with the Core Booster moving to the hallway and the Pulse Rifle moving to where the Core Booster was.

Basically: roll N'Erud, check the Spire undercroft: if only one spike is missing from the machine, reroll. If two spikes are missing, seek out Dormant N'Erud Facility and the Terminus Station.

EDIT: to clarify, the undercroft -always- spawns and does not require Abyssal Rift specifically.

Here I will leave the cat, friends who pass by can pet it and give it a thumbs up <3

I had the decorum cipher. That's what let me get the amulet. I read that there is something called Memory Core 2 that you need for the Pulse Rifle. And that you have to have the Decorum Cipher and the Memory Core in the same run. If you get the zone to roll both in the same run there will be two openings for the quest items to be inserted and you get both the amulet and the rifle. If you only have the cipher you only get the amulet.
The thing is, I didn't know any of this and I already have the amulet as the cipher was the only item present in my run, so there was only one slot to insert the cipher, and the only reward was the amulet. Now I'm trying to figure out if I'm locked out of getting the rifle now, or if there's some method to still acquire it.

that's... The opposite of what I've read. The cipher is supposed to get you the weapon and the core gets you the amulet... What in the world

You have to get both key items for the Pulse Rifle. If only one of the key item events spawns you can only get the Amulet. If you're farming for the rifle, just go straight to the basement where you get it and look at the place where you put the key items. If you have 2 open slots on the dais you should be able to see the Pulse Rifle beyond the second force field.

But how good of a cat is it? Can it take a pet like no problem? Is it not afraid of anything?

I know this. What I'm trying to figure out is, since I only had the one key item spawn, and only one open slot for the key item, I only got the amulet.
My question is, "Does this mean I am screwed now? Or can I still somehow get the plasma rifle if I reset the world and do it again?" Or am I locked out of getting the pulse rifle because I took the amulet already?

You can roll a new N'Erud via Adventure mode and still get the Pulse Rifle, even if you have already acquired the Core Booster.

Thank you for the response.

Yeah, I discovered this last night and managed to get the rifle.
I also got the Nightfall last night, as well as the shotgun pistol that looks like a pistol version of the Pulse Rifle. I forget what it's called.
I actually had a really good run last night. I got several weapons that I didn't even know existed.

Just have to reroll the world. Had the amulet first and my friend rerolled his world and got the pulse rifle in it.

To be honest, I don't feel it is worth the effort.

Everyone has their own playstyle/weapon preferences, but I feel the Pulse Rifle was definitely worth going after. Once I got the thing upgraded it was doing massive amounts of damage. I've been swapping back and forth between it and the Nightfall.
My issue now is getting the mats I need to upgrade my weapons further. I think it's the hardened steel, or hardened iron, that I need now. I forget what it's called, exactly.

abyssal rift is not necessary, once you get the keys from both terminus station and dormant nerudian facility (btw grab the key before you try to fight the aberrant there because if you die you get locked out) then take both to the pedestal under the custodians ascension spire.

Best way to know you have both is to rush to the ascension spire and see if the console has two empty slots as long as it has 2 empty slots you are good otherwise you need to reroll an adventure of nerud until you get both slots.

IMO the pulse rifle has some issues with accuracy and I feel the blackmaw despite its looser crosshairs feels more accurate
