Understand Coolant Leak
Useful when…
- Add a periodic Cold blast to a robotic companion's precepts.
- Consider it when enemies tend to gather near the companion.
Trigger and effect
At maximum rank, Coolant Leak unleashes a 10-meter radial Cold blast when multiple enemies are nearby. It adds 3 stacks and has a 10-second cooldown. At rank 0 the radius is 4 meters; rank 2 reaches 8 meters. The supplied effect does not specify further details about the stacks or blast's damage.
Slot and ranking
It is a standard Robotic mod with Penjaga polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 3. The listed steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, plus 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 Credits. Rank increases the blast radius while the stated stack count and cooldown remain the same.
Different companion functions
Guardian restores the owner's shield when it runs out; Manifold Bond interacts with companion precepts, status effects, and ability cooldowns; Sanctuary creates a shield around the player while reviving fallen allies. These mods serve distinct defensive or utility purposes rather than reproducing Coolant Leak's Cold blast.
Acquisition
Listed drop sources are Orokin Drone and Orokin Spectator. The listing is a snapshot and does not guarantee current availability.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The effect requires multiple nearby enemies and can trigger only once per 10-second cooldown.
- Additional ranks increase radius, not the listed stacks or cooldown.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the blast to trigger against a lone enemy.
- Assuming rank increases the number of stacks or reduces the cooldown.
