What Is The Warframe Laetum?
Click to enlargeThe Warframe Laetum is a ceremonial pistol weapon that has been altered by the Void to become more powerful. In its standard form, the Laetum is a semi-automatic pistol that fires explosive airburst rounds, but if you hit twelve headshots then it will temporarily transform into a fully automatic gun that deals extra Radiation damage in a small AoE. When the weapon transforms, you will get a separate 216 round mag that doesn't deplete the ammo of your standard form.
Its normal form also deals slash damage on direct hits, while also having an above average critical hit chance and critical hit multiplier. This crit chance will improve further in the Incarnon form, so it pairs well with modifications that increase your overall critical damage or multiplier. While using the Laetum, meeting certain objectives will allow you to evolve the weapon a total of five times, giving it extra benefits and effects. These are listed in the table below.
