Understand Flawed Cleanse Grineer
Useful when…
- Add the listed Grineer-specific multiplier to a compatible shotgun.
- Use the lower base drain of 2 when capacity is limited.
Effect and fit
The flawed standard-slot shotgun mod has Madurai polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 3. The listed multiplier is x1.03 at rank 0, x1.09 at rank 2, and x1.12 at maximum rank.
Fusion and variants
The listed upgrades cost 20, 40, and 80 Endo, plus 966, 1,932, and 3,864 Credits. Standard Cleanse Grineer reaches x1.3 at rank 5; Primed Cleanse Grineer reaches x1.55 at rank 10. The flawed mod is incompatible with both named versions, so treat them as alternatives rather than bonuses to stack.
Limitations
Its multiplier is faction-specific and its maximum is lower than the standard or Primed version. Accelerated Blast offers Fire Rate and Puncture instead of a Grineer-targeted multiplier.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The multiplier only targets Grineer.
- The flawed version has a lower bonus ceiling than the standard and Primed versions.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the multiplier applies to non-Grineer targets.
- Equipping it with another Cleanse Grineer variant.
- Reading the mod multiplier as final weapon damage.
