Understand High Voltage
Useful when…
- Add Electricity damage and Status Chance to a compatible rifle.
- Use a lower rank when conserving fusion resources or mod capacity.
Effects and fit
High Voltage is a standard Rare rifle mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 3. At rank 0 it grants +15% Electricity and +15% Status Chance; at rank 3 it grants +60% to each. These are mod bonuses, not a statement of final weapon damage. No weapon exclusions are listed.
Rank investment
The first fusion step costs 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits; the listed cost for the final step is 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Rank 0 already provides both bonuses, so a conditional approach is to raise it as capacity and resources allow.
Alternatives and acquisition
The listed alternatives serve different purposes: Catalyzer Link grants Status Chance only after an Ability Cast while Aiming, Flawed Rifle Aptitude grants Status Chance as a flawed mod, and Galvanized Aptitude combines Status Chance with a conditional on-kill damage effect. They are not direct equivalents to High Voltage’s Electricity bonus. Listed High Voltage sources are Eris cache missions at Rotation C.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Provides two bonuses, but consumes a standard mod slot and has base drain 4.
- Ranking increases the listed bonuses at an increasing fusion-resource cost.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the listed Electricity percentage as final damage.
- Assuming a Status Chance-only alternative also supplies Electricity damage.
