Understand Jolt
Useful when…
- Adding Electricity damage and Status Chance to a compatible pistol.
- Using a Madurai-polarity slot for a dual-stat pistol mod.
Effect and fit
Jolt is a standard pistol mod with Madurai polarity and 4 base drain. At rank 0 it gives +15% Electricity and +15% Status Chance; both rise to +45% at rank 2 and +60% at rank 3. The bonuses do not specify final weapon damage or a particular status outcome.
Rank investment
Jolt reaches rank 3. Its listed steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo and 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 credits. Since both listed bonuses rise together, rank it when the combined Electricity and status increase is worth the investment and capacity.
Other dual-stat choices
Frostbite provides Cold damage and Status Chance instead, while Carnis Stinger provides Slash damage and Status Chance. Embedded Catalyzer grants Status Chance only when aiming for 9 seconds after an ability cast. These are conditional alternatives with distinct damage types or triggers, not identical substitutes for Jolt.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a pistol mod slot and 4 base drain.
- Its damage-type bonus is Electricity, which may not match every setup.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Embedded Catalyzer as unconditional; it requires an ability cast and aiming.
- Assuming Jolt provides the same damage type as another dual-stat mod.
