Red Text
That's whatever you were talking about for ya.
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
Shoots bullets that bounce and pierce enemies, and when reloaded the thrown gun splits and sprays a large number of grenades, an AR made by Tediore. It is a single weapon that Tediore pushes with both shooting and throwing.
🧩 Red text source “That’s whatever you were talking about for ya.” is the source, a line from the anime Futurama spoken by Zapp Brannigan (Zapp Brannigan) (episode “War Is the H-Word”). It is a famous line that expresses Zapp’s cluelessness of not listening at all and just nodding along pretending to understand. It also matches the weapon name “Divided Focus” (scatterbrained) as a pun.
What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Tediore-made Legendary AR. Element is Fire (Fire)
- The bullets bounce (bound) + pierce enemies, making it easy to shoot through multiple enemies at once
- Tediore’s usual throw reload is present, and the reload itself becomes an additional source of explosive damage
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Conqueror - pierces enemies, and bouncing projectiles to fire
- In-game (Japanese, hardware-verified 2026-08-14): Conqueror - pierces enemies and fires bouncing projectiles
- In-game (English) / Web (Lootlemon): Conquerer — Fires bouncing Projectiles that pierce enemies.
- Throw reload (Tediore): When reloaded, the thrown gun splits into two, each generating four grenades = up to 8 grenades for explosive damage
- Weakness: Because of the ricochet, close-range feel is unique. To make use of throw reload firepower, you must operate by emptying the magazine.
