Manomin Magnum

Manomin Magnum is a firearm found in Abiotic Factor that can drop from defeating a Chieftain. It is a powerful sidearm-like weapon with a distinctive Desert Eagle-inspired design and a high-impact shot profile that makes it stand out among the game’s guns.

Its use is gated by equipment and progression. The player character must have the Bio-Fusion Armwraps buff active in order to use it, and the recipe for the Imitator is unlocked at Accuracy level 18. Because of this, it is not simply a matter of finding the weapon; it also depends on meeting the required character and crafting progression before it can be equipped and used effectively.

In play, the Manomin Magnum is notable for its strong damage output and its animation set, including visible shooting and reload sequences that change as reloading skill increases. It is a weapon that rewards reaching the proper prerequisites, then leveraging its heavy-hitting nature once it becomes available.

• Drops from a Chieftain.
• Requires the Bio-Fusion Armwraps buff to use.
• The Imitator recipe unlocks at Accuracy level 18.
• Its design appears to be based on the Desert Eagle.

A notable piece of trivia about the Manomin Magnum is that “Manomin” is a variant spelling of “manoomin,” the Ojibwe word for wild rice. The weapon also previously had the base “parent” damage type. In that state, it could gib corpses, usually in the same shot that killed them, and it completely bypassed bullet resistance on enemies. This made it unusually strong compared with other firearms, especially in a game that features many bullet-resistant enemies.
