Understand Insatiable
Useful when…
- Consider it when additional Mutation stack generation in the infestation is useful.
- Use Ability Strength to increase the stated chance; the exact scaling formula is not provided.
Effect and chance
Insatiable is a Ravenous augment. Its chance for additional Mutation stacks while in the infestation is 35% at rank 0, 50% at rank 2, and 60% at rank 3. The chance increases with Ability Strength; multiple stacks are possible above 100%.
Mod fit
This Rare standard Nidus mod has Zenurik polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3.
Fusion costs
The listed per-step fusion costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 credits from rank 0 to 1; 60 Endo and 2,898 credits from rank 1 to 2; and 120 Endo and 5,796 credits from rank 2 to 3. Ranking raises the base chance from 35% to 60%.
Other Nidus augments
Abundant Mutation increases maximum Mutation stacks and changes Undying’s cooldown. Parasitic Vitality adds maximum Health during Parasitic Link. Teeming Virulence grants Primary Weapon Critical Chance after Virulence hits four enemies. These effects address different mechanics from Insatiable’s chance for extra stacks in the infestation.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard mod slot for a chance-based Mutation stack effect tied to the infestation.
- Higher ranks raise the base chance and require fusion resources.
- The Ability Strength scaling formula is unspecified.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Ravenous being active as a stated condition for the chance.
- Ignoring the stated infestation condition.
- Assuming a specific number of extra stacks above 100% without a supplied formula.
