Coda weapons are upgraded variants of Infested weapons, some of which haven’t seen the light of day since the early days ofWarframe. If you can best the Technocyte Coda, you can purchase some incredibly strong Coda weapons from Eleanor in Hollvania. The Live Heartcells aren’t going to spend themselves.
Some of these Coda weapons are entirely unique, such as the Dual Coda Torxica. These dual pistols spread spores on kill, debuffing targets with damage vulnerability and Cold status. Today, we’ll be looking at how to obtain these pistols and showcase a decent build you can use to get through most mid-game content.
How To Obtain The Dual Coda Torxica
The Dual Coda Torxica is obtained from Eleanor’s shop in Hollvania. Purchasing this weapon will require Live Heartcells, a currency type you earn from slain Infested Liches, otherwise known asTechnocyte Coda. You’ll need ten to purchase this weapon, which is equivalent to a single Lich kill.
Once purchased, you’ll be able to further upgrade it throughValance Fusion, a process of infusing other copies of Dual Coda Torxica into itself to increase the weapon’s progenitor bonus—the weapon’s intrinsic elemental damage bonus. This bonus can go up to 60 percent.

The Dual Coda Torxica is a pair ofautomatic dual pistols that spread spores on kill, debuffing targets with Cold status.Once you land a kill, nearby targets will get infected with a spore, inflicting Cold status and increasing all damage they receive from the Torxica by 50 percent. Enemies can have up to three spores on them at a time.
Beyond that, the Torxica is your average bullet hose secondary. This weapon has solid base damage, critical stats, and a decent status chance for hybrid builds. It has a fairly slow fire rate, however, so you might want to consider fire rate buffs from mods or the rest of your loadout to compensate.
