Cyte-09 · The kit

Antenna, cloak, ammo, scope

Cyte-09 is Höllvania's sniper. Seek is the wallhack and the damage buff. Evade is the health bar. Resupply is the reload key. Neutralizer is a real exalted sniper if you forma the grid — or you Helminth 4 and keep a Sobek.

Weak Point Protocol

Weak-point kills raise Cyte-09's weak-point critical chance for the rest of the mission, stacking toward a cap. Sit in a tile and farm heads. The Neutralizer's ricochets count.

Seek

An invulnerable antenna pulses a 75° scan. Detected enemies show silhouettes and weak points through terrain and take Strength-scaled bonus weak-point damage. While any antenna lives, your weapons gain punch-through (including through walls). Three max. This is the 2026 reason people pick him.

Cost: 25 energy
Max: 3 antennas
Bonus: 75% weak-point damage at 100% STR

Resupply

Tap to refill the gun in your hands and throw two ammo packs. The mag gains an extra Strength-scaled hit of the selected element with a forced proc. Sniper rifles (and Neutralizer) get a doubled bonus. Hold 2 to cycle the element. Pressing R to reload strips the buff — Resupply is your reload key.

Cost: 50 energy
Hold: Select element
Snipers: Double extra-hit

Evade

A short hop into invisibility with a status cleanse. You cannot recast while it is up. Weak-point kills extend duration (capped) and restore health. This is the survivability. Helminth offers Evade to other frames at a shorter cap. Spectral Serration and Crepuscular both key off this cloak.

Cost: 75 energy
Base invis: 10 s
Extend: Weak-point kills

Neutralize

Exalted sniper

An exalted sniper rifle. Primary fire ricochets from weak point to weak point. Alt-fire lobs a Cold grenade that freezes. Mods like a sniper: damage, crit, elements, Target Acquired. No rivens, no Acolyte mods. Resupply treats it as a sniper. Helminth dump if you brought a better gun.

Type: Exalted sniper
Alt-fire: Cold freeze nade
Helminth: Dump if you keep real guns
