Understand Flawed Convulsion
Useful when…
- Add Electricity to a Pistol using the Flawed variant.
- Use it as a constrained or interim option when a standard Convulsion variant is not the chosen fit.
Effect and fit
Flawed Convulsion grants +10% Electricity at rank 0, +30% at rank 2, and +40% at rank 3. It is a Flawed standard-slot Pistol mod with Naramon polarity and base drain 4. It explicitly excludes Convulsion and Primed Convulsion.
Upgrade costs
Its rank steps cost 20, 40, and 80 Endo, plus 966, 1,932, and 3,864 Credits. Each rank raises Electricity; decide whether the added elemental bonus is worth the fusion cost and increased mod drain for the Pistol you are using.
Compare the alternatives
Standard Convulsion lists +90% Electricity and Primed Convulsion lists +165%. Accelerated Isotope instead grants +60% Radiation and +40% Fire Rate. These have different elemental effects and bonuses; they are alternatives to assess for the intended setup, not interchangeable effects. The Flawed mod cannot be equipped with either Convulsion variant.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its +40% maximum Electricity is lower than the listed standard and Primed Convulsion values.
- Ranking increases drain and requires Endo and Credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Attempting to equip it alongside Convulsion or Primed Convulsion.
- Treating the Electricity bonus as final weapon damage.
