Bane of Infested GUIDE
Understand Bane of Infested
Useful when…
- Faction-focused rifle builds against Infested.
Effect and fit
The bonus rises from ×1.05 at rank 0 to ×1.2 at rank 3 and ×1.3 at rank 5. It is a standard rifle mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 4.
Ranking and alternatives
The mod has five ranks. Its listed rank 4 to 5 step costs 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits, so consider whether the final increase fits your available upgrade resources. Flawed Bane of Infested has base drain 2 and a lower ×1.1 maximum; Primed Bane reaches ×1.55 at its listed maximum. Both are listed as incompatible with this mod.
Limitations
Its faction bonus is for Infested, not general-purpose damage. The multiplier describes the mod effect and should not be read as the weapon’s final damage. Aerial Ace is an Exilus mod for airborne movement utility, not a damage equivalent.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Faction specificity makes it situational.
- The final listed rank step has a high Endo and Credit cost relative to earlier examples.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Equipping it for targets outside the Infested faction matchup.
- Treating ×1.3 as final weapon damage.
- Attempting to equip it with the listed incompatible Flawed or Primed Bane.
