Understand Augur Pact
Useful when…
- Add the listed damage bonus to a Pistol.
- Compare a straightforward damage mod with options focused on Radiation, Fire Rate, or Multishot.
Effect and compatibility
At maximum rank, Augur Pact grants +90% Damage. It is a standard Pistol mod with Naramon polarity and base drain 2. The listed figure is a mod bonus, not a final damage calculation for a particular weapon.
Ranks and investment
Augur Pact has ranks 0–5: +15% damage at rank 0, +60% at rank 3, and +90% at rank 5. The final listed rank step costs 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits. It starts at base drain 2, so raising rank trades capacity for a larger listed bonus. Use a lower rank if it fits the available capacity better.
Different Pistol bonuses
Accelerated Isotope lists +60% Radiation and +40% Fire Rate, so it combines elemental damage and firing rate. Amalgam Barrel Diffusion lists +110% Multishot plus +60% Dodge Speed and has base drain 10. Air Recon is a Conclave Exilus mod for -60% Zoom while Aim Gliding, not a direct damage alternative for a standard damage slot. These serve different purposes and should be compared by their actual effects and slot type.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The mod provides a single listed damage bonus, with no additional effect.
- Higher ranks increase both the bonus and capacity cost.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating +90% Damage as final weapon damage after all other factors.
- Using the Conclave Exilus comparison as if it were a standard damage-slot mod.
