Heartbreaker Synergy - Valentine's Event

 The Valentine's Event has been on PTS for a bit now. To keep you up to date on what's to come, we will release a series of Articles to inform you on what the Valentine's Event, Colony Courtship will bring.

Today, we're presenting you the synergy that's unique to the Colony Courtship Event: Heartbreaker.

Heartbreaker is a mod synergy, which means you will gain the listed effects after putting 1 to 4 Heartbreaker Mods into your weapon.You can obtain the mods from:

• Enemies in minor and major Colony Courtship Arkfalls
• As rewards from the Arkfalls
• Out of the store box tied to the Valentine's Event

There will be 6 weapons available with the synergy:

• Heartbreaker Assault Carbine
• Heartbreaker Disruptor
• Heartbreaker Guided Launcher
• Heartbreaker Northstar Blaze
• Heartbreaker Particle Repeater
• Heartbreaker SMG

There will also be named variants of those 6 weapons, but at this point, we don't know the names of those yet. The "Northstar Blaze" is a variant of the Northstar Flare. It has lower damage, but a larger mag and a higher Firerate.

The Heartbreaker Synergy itself is a good preparation for the upcoming Alcatraz update with expeditions:

• [1]: On shield break, gain 15% armor penetration for 5s. (Cooldown: 30s)
• [2]: On shield break, grant 10% damage for 5s to surrounding allies. (Cooldown: 30s)
• [3]: On armor break, +20% crit multiplier for 10 seconds (Cooldown: 30s)
• [4]: On enemy "heart break", +2% self-revive

"On enemy heart break" means "On enemy death", this means, as soon as you kill an enemy, you gain +2% on your self-revive. In the upcoming expeditions, self-revive is very important as you cannot extract and will lose your self-revive as soon as you revive a fellow group member.
