Understand Disruptor
Useful when…
- Add Impact damage to a compatible shotgun.
- Use an Impact-specific standard mod when that damage type is desired.
Effect and fit
Disruptor adds +15% Impact at rank 0, +60% at rank 3, and +90% at rank 5. It is a standard shotgun mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5. It is incompatible with Flawed Disruptor.
Rank costs and alternatives
The rank 4 to 5 step costs 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits. Flawed Disruptor has a lower base drain of 2 but tops out at +12% Impact and is incompatible with this mod. Accelerated Blast instead combines Fire Rate with Puncture; Amalgam Shotgun Barrage combines Fire Rate with Revive Speed. These alternatives do not provide the same stated Impact bonus.
Acquisition and limitation
The listed drop sources are a range of Trooper and Eviscerator enemy variants. The mod only lists an Impact bonus, so consider whether that damage type fits the weapon and build before spending capacity and fusion resources.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Ranks raise the Impact bonus but increase fusion cost; maximum rank costs 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits for the last step.
- Its Impact-specific effect competes with shotgun mods that provide other stated bonuses.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating +90% Impact as +90% damage to every damage type.
- Equipping Flawed Disruptor alongside this mod despite their listed incompatibility.
