Quantum

Overview

Quantum gunners appear in City of Heroes whenever a Kheldian has been present in the recent past. These Quantum gunners use specialized Quantum Array Guns purchased or received from the Council. A shot from one of these rifles deals Negative Energy damage to all Archetypes. However when a blast hits a Kheldian (Warshade or Peacebringer), they take additional damage 3 and 4 times that of the other Archetypes.

Quantum foes in City of Heroes are not their own faction. Each Quantum enemy is part of the faction it spawns in. They are closely related to Void Hunters.

You can find specific information regarding each Quantum in its faction's article.

Notes

• A Quantum is always an extra critter in a spawn.
  • Solo, if you see a spawn of 5 enemies, one of them is a Quantum gunner.
  • Explanation: Solo spawns on Notoriety level one spawn 1 - 3 critters per spawn (1 minon/1 leut or 3 minons). Notoriety level two spawn 2 - 4 critters per spawn. A fifth critter is an addition to that spawn and would be a Void Hunter or a Quantum.
  • A Quantum does not appear in every spawn.
• A Quantum gunner never moves, nor wanders around like the rest of his/her spawn, unless aggroed.
• Some of them may have the special skills proper of their factions (example: I remember the Paragon Protector one used Focus during the combat)
• Quantum gunners never spawn outside of instanced missions.
  • i.e. you will never see a Quantum in Steel Canyon or The Hollows.
• A faction with a Quantum gunner model will not always use the Quantum.
• If a faction does not have a Quantum gunner, it will spawn Void Hunters instead.

Spawning

Quanta/Voids have a 10% chance to spawn per encounter group on a mission map, and a 5% chance to spawn per encounter group in an open zone (these chances only apply if the team triggering the spawn has/had a Kheldian member). There is a 50% chance for a Quantum spawn to be a member of the Void Hunters faction, rather than a Quantum from the appropriate villain group. The rank of the spawned Quantum/Void is determined by the team's size:

• 1-2 members = 100% chance for Minion
• 3 members = 30% chance for Lieutenant, 70% chance for Minion
• 4-5 members = 100% chance for Lieutenant
• 6 members = 10% chance for Boss, 90% chance for Lieutenant
• 7 members = 50% chance for Boss, 50% chance for Lieutenant
• 8 members = 90% chance for Boss, 10% chance for Lieutenant
