Understand Body Count
Useful when…
- Use on melee weapons when longer gaps between hits would otherwise interrupt combo upkeep.
Effect and rank values
Body Count adds Combo Duration: +2 seconds at rank 0, +8 seconds at rank 3, and +12 seconds at rank 5. It extends the duration window; the listed effect does not itself increase combo damage or generate combo.
Fit and fusion
This is a standard melee mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5. Its listed upgrade steps rise from 10 Endo and 483 Credits early in fusion to 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits for rank 4 to 5. Invest in higher ranks when the longer duration matters to your combo plan; it is explicitly incompatible with Amalgam Furax Body Count.
Different melee priorities
Amalgam Organ Shatter boosts Critical Damage and Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed; Auger Strike adds Puncture; Flawed Berserker Fury grants temporary Attack Speed after a melee kill. These do not extend Combo Duration, so they address different needs rather than replacing Body Count's duration effect.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The mod uses a standard melee slot and its higher ranks cost more Endo, Credits, and capacity.
- It does not add combo generation or other listed combat bonuses.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting added duration to generate combo or to stack with the explicitly incompatible Amalgam Furax Body Count.
