Understand Crash Course
Useful when…
- Adding Impact damage to a rifle configuration.
Effect and fit
At maximum rank, Crash Course grants +120% Impact. Rank 0 provides +20%, and rank 3 provides +80%. It is a standard-slot rifle mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 5. The listed bonus applies to Impact, not as a general damage bonus.
Investment and alternatives
The 4→5 rank step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits for the increase from the prior rank to the listed maximum. Aerial Ace is an Exilus mod for refreshing double jumps on kills while airborne, and Agile Aim is a Conclave Exilus mod for movement speed while aiming; neither offers Impact damage. Amalgam Serration is a standard-slot damage and sprint-speed mod, so it addresses a broader damage category at the cost of that standard slot.
Acquisition
The supplied source lists Eidolon Teralyst as a possible drop source. The listed chance is not a guarantee.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard rifle mod slot for a specific damage type.
- The highest ranks require substantial Endo and Credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading +120% Impact as +120% total rifle damage.
- Confusing the Conclave-only Agile Aim comparison with a standard rifle mod.
