Vulnerability

Vulnerability is an enemy debuff that increases incoming damage by 15% from all sources. The only documented way to apply it in the current Early Access build is with the Epic tier of the Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol. It is the defining utility debuff for burst-setup pistol-melee rotations.

How It Works

Typical Rotation

The standard PvE burst rotation used in community guides opens with a single Vulnerability shot from Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol, then switches to the main damage weapon (commonly the Rapier of a Thousand Cuts for bleed stacking, or the Dragons Breath Blunderbuss for boss-phase burst) while Vulnerability is active on the target.

Build Synergy

Vulnerability multiplies every subsequent damage source by 1.15, so it compounds with crit damage bonuses, weapon-specific scaling, and stacking talents like Deadly Finale and Bulletstorm. The practical effect on a boss fight is a meaningfully shorter kill time across the duration of the debuff, without affecting the player's own loadout costs.
