Understand Flawed Barrel Diffusion
Useful when…
- Adding multishot to a pistol when using the Flawed variant.
Effect and fit
It grants +10% multishot at rank 0, +30% at rank 2, and +40% at rank 3. It is a standard-slot pistol mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 4.
Ranking and alternatives
The three listed rank steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, with Credit costs of 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796. Barrel Diffusion reaches +120% at rank 5, while Galvanized Diffusion lists +110% plus a kill-triggered multishot bonus lasting 20 seconds and stacking up to four times. Amalgam Barrel Diffusion lists +110% multishot and +60% dodge speed. These variants are listed as incompatible with this mod.
Limitations
This mod is for pistols and improves multishot, not a listed single-shot damage value. Do not plan to equip it alongside the named standard, Amalgam, or Galvanized Barrel Diffusion variants; they are identified as incompatible.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its listed maximum multishot bonus is lower than the listed standard alternative.
- It shares its mod role with incompatible variants.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Equipping it on a non-pistol weapon.
- Assuming the Flawed version matches the standard version’s listed multishot.
- Trying to stack it with an incompatible Barrel Diffusion variant.
