Build it. The Mausolon is a top-tier Archgun with excellent critical stats and a powerful alternate fire. Its main weakness is the long reload time.
Primary fire builds charges on kills to unlock a powerful alternate fire laser. Initial hits and explosions apply status separately. Explosions penetrate walls.
The Mausolon is an ancient Orokin fully automatic heavy rifle designed by the Entrati, serving as the primary armament for Necramechs. It can be used by Warframes as an Archgun.
Boasting high critical chance, status chance, accuracy, magazine size, and fire rate, the primary fire shoots fully automatic explosive rounds. These rounds build charges on kills to allow use of the Alternate Fire, an obliterating explosive laser.
The weapon deals primarily Heat and Puncture damage. Its alternate fire is tied for the second highest critical chance and second highest critical multiplier among Archguns, behind the Velocitus.
How to get the Mausolon
- Build or buy a Voidrig Necramech: the Mausolon is its default Archgun and comes with it.
- For a copy of your own, buy the Mausolon blueprint from Loid in the Necralisk with Necraloid standing.
- Install a Gravimag on it (an Orokin Catalyst first) and bring it into ground missions with the Archgun Deployer gear item.
The Necramech version has regenerating ammo; the ground version runs on Heavy Ammo pickups.

Builds
Focus on maximizing critical damage and fire rate for the primary fire, while also boosting overall damage and elemental effects. The alternate fire benefits greatly from critical stats due to its high base values. Consider mods that reduce reload speed or provide ammo efficiency, though the alternate fire does not consume ammo directly.

Archguns take one Primary and one Secondary arcane once an Archgun Arcane Adapter opens the slots (Deepmines bounties, Nightcap in the Fortuna Airlock, or the Market). Primary Merciless first; skip the second slot until the adapter is cheap for you.
