Understand Creeping Bullseye
Useful when…
- Increasing pistol critical chance on a build able to tolerate reduced fire rate.
Effects and restrictions
At maximum rank, Creeping Bullseye grants +200% critical chance and -20% fire rate. Rank 0 gives +33.3% critical chance and -3.3% fire rate; rank 3 gives +133.3% and -13.3%. It is a standard pistol mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5. It is explicitly incompatible with Pistol Gambit, Primed Pistol Gambit, and Flawed Pistol Gambit.
Rank investment
The final 4→5 step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. It adds critical chance but also deepens the fire-rate penalty to the listed maximum. Compare those paired effects against the actual weapon's firing needs before committing to the final ranks.
Critical chance alternatives
The comparison candidates offer different critical chance values without a listed fire-rate penalty: Flawed Pistol Gambit grants +60%, Pistol Gambit +120%, and Primed Pistol Gambit +187%. All three are incompatible with Creeping Bullseye, so these figures describe alternatives rather than bonuses to stack together.
Acquisition
The supplied source lists Derelict Vault as a possible source. The listed chance is not a guarantee.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- More critical chance comes with reduced fire rate.
- The mod cannot be equipped with the listed Pistol Gambit variants.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Comparing the critical chance bonus without accounting for the fire-rate penalty.
- Trying to equip it with any listed Pistol Gambit variant.
