Galvanized Crosshairs

Pistol aiming critical-chance mod

Released Jul 6, 2021

Galvanized Crosshairs grants critical chance after weak-point hits and additional stacking critical chance after weak-point kills, but only while aiming. Consider it for a pistol setup that can consistently land weak-point hits and stay aimed.

Understand Galvanized Crosshairs

Useful when…

  • Build aiming critical chance through weak-point hits.
  • Use weak-point kills to stack further aiming critical chance.

Effect and conditions

At rank 10, a weak-point hit grants +120% critical chance when aiming for 12 seconds. A weak-point kill adds +40% critical chance when aiming for 12 seconds, stacking up to five times. Rank 0 values are +10.9% per hit and +3.6% per kill stack; rank 5 values are +65.5% and +21.8%.

Slot and investment

It is a Madurai-polarity standard Pistol mod with base drain 2 and maximum rank 10. The listed rank 5 to 6 step costs 960 Endo and 46,368 Credits; rank 9 to 10 costs 15,360 Endo and 741,888 Credits. Its value depends on aiming and keeping weak-point hits and kills coming, so rank according to how reliably that condition is met.

Comparison

Hydraulic Crosshairs grants +135% critical chance when aiming for nine seconds on a weak-point hit, with no kill-stacking effect listed. Galvanized Crosshairs instead has a hit bonus plus a separate kill bonus that can stack up to five times. Accelerated Isotope adds Radiation and fire rate, while Air Recon is a Conclave Exilus mod affecting zoom during aim gliding; neither supplies the same effect.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The bonuses require weak-point hits or kills and apply when aiming.
  • The kill bonus is timed and depends on maintaining stacks.
  • Its maximum rank has substantial listed fusion costs.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting the critical-chance effects while not aiming.
  • Treating weak-point hits and weak-point kills as the same trigger; they grant distinct bonuses.
