Understand Lethal Momentum
Useful when…
- Use it in a pistol Exilus slot when projectile speed is a desired handling improvement.
- Consider projectile speed alongside the weapon's existing projectile behavior.
Effect and rank scaling
Lethal Momentum gives +10% projectile speed at rank 0, +30% at rank 2, and +40% at rank 3. It is a handling stat, not a listed damage bonus.
Slot and compatibility
This Uncommon standard mod is compatible with pistols, has Madurai polarity and 4 base drain, and is designated Exilus. Its projectile speed effect is distinct from Blind Shot’s Conclave variant, which also lists projectile speed but reduces accuracy, and Heavy Warhead’s Conclave variant, which adds blast radius while reducing projectile speed. Amalgam Barrel Diffusion instead lists multishot and dodge speed.
Rank investment
The mod has three ranks, and its listed projectile speed rises to +40% at rank 3. The supplied fusion steps increase in cost, so rank it to the handling improvement you want. It has 4 base drain and occupies an Exilus slot.
Limitation
Projectile speed is the only listed effect. Do not count it as a damage, multishot, accuracy, or blast-radius increase; those are separate properties in the comparison entries.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses the pistol Exilus slot for projectile speed rather than a listed direct damage benefit.
- Its listed effect does not increase blast radius or multishot.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting projectile speed to increase damage or blast radius.
- Confusing this standard Exilus mod with Conclave variants that list different tradeoffs.
