Understand Full Contact
Useful when…
- Use on a shotgun when you want the listed Impact bonus.
- Rank it when the larger bonus justifies its fusion cost and slot use.
Effect and application
Full Contact is a Standard shotgun mod for a standard mod slot. At maximum rank it adds +120% Impact. It has Naramon polarity and base drain 6. The effect specifies Impact rather than an increase to all damage types.
Rank investment
Full Contact reaches rank 5. Its listed bonus is +20% Impact at rank 0, +80% at rank 3, and +120% at rank 5. Example rank-step costs are 30/1,449, 120/5,796, and 480/23,184 Endo/Credits for 0→1, 2→3, and 4→5. The final example step costs considerably more, so rank it according to the value of additional Impact in the build.
Compare different shotgun priorities
Accelerated Blast adds Fire Rate and Puncture, while Amalgam Shotgun Barrage adds Fire Rate and Revive Speed; both trade toward benefits beyond Impact. Ammo Stock increases magazine capacity. These are distinct choices and should not be treated as equivalent Impact bonuses. The listed source for Full Contact is Eidolon Teralyst.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus is specific to Impact damage, rather than all shotgun damage.
- The final listed rank step has high Endo and Credit costs compared with earlier example steps.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not describe +120% Impact as a bonus to all damage types.
- Do not assume fire-rate or magazine alternatives provide the same Impact effect.
