Cortex Entry

Cortex Entries are small pieces of lore attached with the particular gear found in Anthem and accessed through the Cortex. All gears have at least one entry associated with them. All Masterwork and Legendary gears' cortex entries directly add to the narrative of the world, but currently unattainable through any in-game means.

Once the lancer has fired on a target, this will mark them for additional damage from nearby effects. As a bonus, should the target perish, the effect will pass to the next nearest foe. As the lancers like to say... "Pass it on."
