Understand Carnis Stinger
Useful when…
- Use on a compatible pistol when both additional Slash and Status Chance are useful.
- Consider partial ranking if you want the two bonuses while limiting capacity and resource spending.
Effects and compatibility
Carnis Stinger is a standard pistol mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5. It provides +15% Slash and +10% Status Chance at rank 0, +60% and +40% at rank 3, and +90% and +60% at rank 5.
Rank investment
The listed costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 credits from rank 0 to 1, 120 Endo and 5,796 credits from rank 2 to 3, and 480 Endo and 23,184 credits from rank 4 to 5. The high final step buys the last increase to both bonuses; stop at an intermediate rank if the added stats do not justify the capacity and resource cost.
Practical comparisons
Hemorrhage can cause Impact Status Effects to apply Slash, with its listed chance doubled when fire rate is below 2.5; it has a specific Impact and fire-rate condition rather than a general Slash bonus. Embedded Catalyzer grants Status Chance while aiming for 9 seconds after an ability cast. Frostbite supplies Cold and Status Chance. These options serve different weapon profiles and conditions rather than automatically replacing Carnis Stinger. Carnis Stinger is listed from Deimos enemies and Cambion Drift bounty rotations.
Limitations
The mod uses a standard pistol slot and provides no listed kill, aiming, ability-cast, or Impact trigger. Its Slash and Status Chance bonuses are mod effects, not a calculation of final pistol damage or status output.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The combined stats use a standard pistol slot and capacity.
- Maximum rank has a notably larger listed Endo and credit cost than early upgrades.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Hemorrhage's conditional Impact-to-Slash effect as equivalent to a general Slash bonus.
- Assuming the mod guarantees a particular final damage or status result.
