Understand Efficient Beams
Useful when…
- Build a Convectrix setup around applying status effects.
- Reduce ammo consumption when firing without connecting with enemies.
What it does
This standard Convectrix mod raises Status Chance from 25% at rank 0 to 150% at rank 5. It also makes ammo consumption conditional on dealing damage, so shots that deal no damage do not consume ammo. The stated effect does not specify any change to damage per hit or the result of an individual status effect.
Fit and investment
It is compatible with the Convectrix, uses a standard slot, and has Naramon polarity with base drain 4. Its five ranks progressively raise Status Chance; the example cost for the final step, rank 4 to 5, is 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Rank it when the added status chance matters to your setup; the ammo condition is already part of the mod description, and no separate rank scaling for that condition is listed.
Limits to keep in mind
This mod is limited to the Convectrix. Its listed bonus is Status Chance, not a final damage increase; the amount of damage or status effects in a particular build cannot be inferred from this mod alone.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Rank investment improves Status Chance but requires progressively more Endo and Credits.
- Its compatibility is restricted to the Convectrix.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the Status Chance bonus as a direct increase to damage per hit.
- Equipping it on a weapon other than the Convectrix.
