Understand Deft Tempo
Useful when…
- Gain the listed Mobility bonus after landing an assault-rifle headshot in Conclave.
Trigger and effect
The effect triggers on a headshot. At rank 0 it grants +2.5% Mobility for 1 second; at rank 2, +7.5% for 3 seconds; and at rank 3, +10% for 4 seconds.
Slot and related mods
Deft Tempo is a Conclave Assault Rifle mod with Naramon polarity, a standard slot, base drain 10, and maximum rank 3. Guided Ordnance increases accuracy when aiming after a hit; Gun Glide changes recoil and accuracy while sliding; Hydraulic Gauge reduces recoil and magazine capacity. Their listed effects and conditions differ from Deft Tempo's headshot-triggered Mobility bonus.
Fusion and listed rewards
The three fusion steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, paired with 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 Credits. Listed sources are Rotation A rewards in named Conclave modes on Neptune and Saturn; each source is listed with a value of 2.48, with no unit specified.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The Mobility effect is conditional on a headshot and lasts for a listed duration.
- The mod uses a standard slot and has base drain 10.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the Mobility bonus to trigger on a hit that is not a headshot.
- Reading the Mobility bonus as a weapon-damage increase.
