The Zylok is a duplex-fire, cut-down variant of the 
Sybaris, boasting high 
Slash damage at the cost of fire rate. The weapon can fire one bullet at a time by first holding down the fire button, then releasing, allowing more precision shots and ammo conservation.
Acquisition
This weapon was introduced during the The Pyrus Project event. To receive the weapon, players have to complete all four tasks related to the reconstruction of the Strata Relay: contributing 30 Pyrus Essence and 5 Relay Strut Components, completing 1 Simaris Daily Synthesis Task, and defeating the Grustrag Three 3 times. The weapon comes with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.
Advantages:
- High Slash and good
Impact damage – effective against health and shields. - Good accuracy.
- Fast reload speed.
- Unique trigger type allows for two rapid shots against tough targets, or careful shot management against many weaker opponents. First shot on button press, the second on button release.
Disadvantages:
Trivia
- The Zylok is the first and so far only duplex-fire weapon outside of the
Tigris family of shotguns. - While technically duplex in nature, it does make it the third 2-shot burst fire pistol in the game, alongside the
Akjagara and 
Kraken. - The Zylok appears to have a turret magazine, as seen in the Turret gun. The experimental design was percussion-cap and had a cylinder with radial, outward facing chambers. This was quickly deemed too dangerous, since at least one chamber pointed towards the user's face, and it was possible to accidentally "chainfire" or fire all shots at once.
