Ballistic Bullseye

Mesa Ballistic Battery augment

Released Dec 11, 2014

Ballistic Bullseye gives the Ballistic Battery shot a final critical-chance bonus based on how much the ability is charged, up to +50%. Consider it when you use Ballistic Battery and want its charged shot to gain this critical-chance bonus.

Ballistic Bullseye GUIDE

Understand Ballistic Bullseye

Useful when…

  • Use on Mesa to add a charge-dependent final critical-chance bonus to Ballistic Battery's shot.

What does the augment change?

The Ballistic Battery shot gains a final critical-chance bonus based on the amount charged. The listed bonus reaches +50% at rank 3; it is +20% at rank 0 and +40% at rank 2. The description ties the bonus to charge amount and does not specify a numeric formula for intermediate charge levels.

When is it useful?

It is relevant when using Ballistic Battery and making use of its charged shot. Muzzle Flash instead adds a blind effect after six kill assists by a player with Shooting Gallery, while Staggering Shield adds a chance for reflected bullets to stagger enemies. Those augments modify different abilities and provide different effects.

What should I know about variants?

Ballistic Bullseye is a standard Mesa mod with Zenurik polarity, three ranks, and base drain 6. The listed Mesa's Waltz comparison is a Conclave variant for Peacemaker that permits movement at 50% speed while using that ability; it is not the Ballistic Battery augment's effect.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Uses a Warframe mod slot and benefits only the Ballistic Battery shot.
  • The final critical-chance bonus depends on charge amount; no intermediate-charge formula is supplied.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating +50% as a flat bonus regardless of charge amount.
  • Confusing the Ballistic Battery effect with the supplied Conclave Peacemaker augment.
