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 given from the Council. A shot from one of these rifles deals Negative Energy damage to all Archetypes. However when a blast hit's a Kheldian (warshade or peacebringer), the take additional damage 3 and 4 times what regular heroes take. This damage type is classified as Nictus and is unresistable.
Quantum foes in City of Heroes are not their own faction. Each Quantum enemy is part of the faction they spawn in. They are closely related to Void Hunters.
You can find specific information regarding each Quantum in their 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, they will use Void Hunters instead.
