Understand Bane of Corpus
Useful when…
- Faction-focused rifle builds against Corpus.
Effect and fit
At rank 0 it grants ×1.05 damage to Corpus; at rank 5 it grants ×1.3. It is a standard rifle mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 4.
Ranking and alternatives
It reaches rank 5. The listed example from rank 4 to 5 costs 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits, so weigh the last rank against other upgrades you need. Flawed Bane of Corpus is a lower-strength, lower-drain option; Primed Bane of Corpus reaches ×1.55 at its listed maximum rank. These occupy the same standard rifle-mod role, and this mod lists both as incompatible.
Limitations
The faction-specific bonus is useful only when fighting Corpus. Do not treat ×1.3 as the rifle’s final damage: it is the mod’s listed bonus. Aerial Ace is an Exilus mod with an airborne double-jump refresh effect, so it serves a different purpose rather than replacing faction damage.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its benefit is faction-specific.
- The final listed rank step has a substantial Endo and Credit cost.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Equipping it for a mission where Corpus are not the relevant targets.
- Reading the listed multiplier as the weapon’s final damage.
- Trying to use it alongside its listed incompatible Bane variants.
