Air Recon

Conclave pistol Exilus mod

Released Sep 9, 2015

Air Recon reduces pistol zoom while aim gliding. Consider it in Conclave when the narrower aiming view interferes with tracking targets in the air.

Air Recon GUIDE

Understand Air Recon

Useful when…

  • Reduce zoom while aiming during a glide in Conclave.

Effect and condition

The zoom reduction applies while Aim Gliding: it starts at 10% at rank 0 and reaches 60% at rank 5. It does not list a general zoom change outside that condition.

Fit and investment

This Uncommon Conclave mod fits pistols in the Exilus slot, has Naramon polarity, and has base drain 2. Rank it if the reduced zoom is useful to your airborne aiming; the rank 3 effect is 40%, while the final ranks increase the reduction to 60%.

Alternatives

Hawk Eye is another Conclave pistol Exilus mod, but it increases zoom by 120% rather than reducing zoom during Aim Gliding. Accelerated Isotope and Amalgam Barrel Diffusion are Standard pistol mods for different effects, not direct equivalents.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The zoom benefit is limited to Aim Gliding.
  • Ranking from 0 to 5 raises the effect but takes additional fusion resources.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting the zoom reduction to apply when not Aim Gliding.
