The monk, the paci(fying)fist, best Exalted Weapon frame - Baruuk!
Release date: 2018-12-18
Passive: Baruuk’s tolerance for violence wanes as his hand is forced by his foes. Restraint is a resource unique to Baruuk that provides up to 50% Damage Reduction when the meter is completely depleted.
Elude - Dodge all incoming projectiles, but only while not attacking. Use again to deactivate this ability.
Lull - A calming wave slows enemies until they fall into a slumber. Enemies woken by damage will be confused and disoriented. Short-term amnesia means all waking enemies forget anything that happened before the lull.
Desolate Hands - Summon a bevy of orbiting daggers to seek out enemy guns, destroying them with a small explosion. Combine with Elude to double the range.
Serene Storm - With his Restraint eroded, Baruuk commands the Desert Wind to deliver powerful radial strikes with his fists and feet. Each moment commanding the storm restores his Restraint.
Acquisition: Blueprints can be purchased from Little Duck of Vox Solaris. The main blueprint requires players to be at Rank 2 - Agent, while component blueprints require Rank 3 - Hand.
I always found the idea of a pacifist in a game designed around war crimes and indiscriminate murder to be a little silly. Doubly so when his main appeal is his killing potential. So much for peace and love! I just pretend he stands for pacifying fist instead, it makes much more sense.
Baruuk in one of the few holdouts that still manages to salvage the Exalted Weapon system, succeeding despite all of it’s limitations. The large part that contributes to it is his amazing augment, of course. I think it’s pretty widely known but this guy is really really good. He’s got tankyness, CC and insane levels of damage in a wide area. Not much more you could want from a frame.
