Qorvex — Punch-Through Bunker

Endgame build. Passive punch-through, Disometric Guard cleanse, Roar over Wall. You are a fat gunner who happens to plant pillars.

Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current

Mandonel, punch-through rifles, people who like Qorvex's tank more than his 4

Wrong drop or mechanic?

Don’t build this yet

First Concrete first

This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.

Open First Concrete

Why this build?

Endgame for Mandonel, punch-through rifles, people who like Qorvex's tank more than his 4

Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.

Play this in Steel Path

Not every Qorvex wants to be a beam. The passive is a gun stat. Lean into it.
Guard plus Adaptation plus 875 armor is why he stands in the open.
Wall is gone. Pillars stay. You still look like Qorvex.

Don’t use this for: players without Helminth

Specialised investment for hard content

You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.

Bring: Punch-through primary — Mandonel charged shots empower pillars. Any high punch-through rifle loves the passive. Radiation or Corrosive.

Alternative if…

You don’t have Helminth yet → First Concrete
Star Chart only → First Concrete
New account or low investment → First Concrete
This is too much Forma / cost → Chain Reaction — Optimised

Instead: First Concrete Instead: First Concrete — Star Chart Instead: Chain Reaction — Steel Path Instead: Chain Reaction — Optimised

Forma 0/4 · required — 4 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
Helminth 0/1 · required — Subsume Roar (Rhino) or Eclipse (Mirage)

Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Tonight

What is actually up

30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.

30 minutes
Farm Growing Power
One named gap. The Silver Grove quest
60 minutes
Growing Power, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
Subsume Roar (Rhino) or Eclipse (Mirage)
If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

Who this is for

Play this build from zero

You subsumed Wall for Roar and brought Mandonel or a punch-through rifle.

Time to a playable copy: After Roar is injected and Adaptation is on.
First mission to practice in: A tiled Exterminate. Shoot through your own pillar.

Bunker-gun loop

Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.

1Guard (3) on. Status charges up.
2Pillar (1) so the lane is slow and radiated (Guard refills on those kills).
3Roar (2). Shoot through the pillar, through the wall, through the pack. Passive punch-through is already on.
4Blast (4) if a clump is worth the animation. Otherwise the gun is faster.

First mission — press these buttons

1
Guard and pillar
3 1
Status plates on. Lane slowed.
2
Roar, then shoot through the concrete
2
Passive punch-through. Radiated kills refill Guard.

Common mistakes

Skipping Guard because 'the gun is enough'
Magnetic still exists. Plates are cheap. Press 3.

When this feels easy
