Understand Flux Overdrive
Useful when…
- Use on the Flux Rifle when you want its stated Status Chance bonus to vary during beam fire.
Effect and condition
Flux Overdrive is a standard Flux Rifle mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 2. At rank 0, its Status Chance bonus fluctuates between +25% and +41% over 5 seconds while the beam is fired. At rank 3, it fluctuates between +100% and +167%; at maximum rank 5, between +150% and +250%. The stated fluctuation is conditional on firing the beam; no static bonus outside that condition is specified.
Rank investment
The listed costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits from rank 2 to 3, and 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits from rank 4 to 5. The top two ranks raise the fluctuating range from the rank-3 range to the rank-5 range, but the information provided does not describe a fixed final Status Chance. Consider the extra investment in light of how often the beam is fired and how useful a higher fluctuating bonus is to the intended setup.

Limitations and tradeoffs
- It applies only to the Flux Rifle and its stated bonus requires firing the beam.
- The Status Chance bonus fluctuates over time, so the listed maximum is not a constant value.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the maximum listed fluctuation as a constant Status Chance bonus.
- Applying the mod to a weapon other than the Flux Rifle.
