Kuva Chakkhurr & Arcane Momentum

[_SEM_]

I'm not sure if that's a bug or not but from my research Kuva Chakkhurr is a sniper so it should work with Arcane Momentum but currently it does nothing and reload in unaffected by arcane buff.

I can also state it does not trigger, is it an assault rifle or a sniper? it uses sniper ammo tho

It's not a sniper rifle. It has no sniper combo or scope bonus.

The Chakkhurr is a 'special-ammo category' rifle-type weapon, in a similar way to how Launchers operate.

It is not a sniper rifle, as can be seen from its lack of compatibility with specific mods such as Charged Chamber, Sharpshooter and Sniper Ammo Regen. Arcane Momentum, as another sniper-specific buff, will therefore not affect it.

It's also seemingly not an Assault Rifle either since it can't equip Tactical Reload. But I think that's a bug because Kuva Chakkhurr is just another semi-auto hard hitting weapon like those other hard hitting assault rifles Opticor/Opticor Vandal.

The category names do get a little odd at times, in particular "Rifle (Bow)" is an actual tag state where "Rifle (Shotgun)" is not. But some of these are just relics from an older time when things were probably less flexible in the game's internals.

As it is, from mods, we can imagine that there is "Rifle, 'Unique'(/Launcher)" (e.g. Firestorm) "Rifle, Bow" (e.g. Thunderbolt) "Rifle, Assault"  (e.g. Overview) and "Rifle, Sniper" (e.g. Sharpshooter) all subcategorising the general "Rifle" classification. _{Ask me why 'Rifle, Generic' even exists categorically, and what material unbalance there would be from the literally 6 non-conclave Assault Rifle mods that exist which are all secondary or tertiary stats, and I couldn't tell you.}

There are occasionally edge cases within categories as well, and Ammo type can actually be separated entirely nowadays - see the Twin Rogga which take full-scale Shotgun ammo despite being 'pistols', where other pocket-shotties are still loaded with standard pistol drops.

Always check your mods for best guess.
