Understand Lethal Torrent
Useful when…
- Add both fire rate and multishot to a pistol build.
- Compare it with pistol mods that trade fire rate against another stat if you need a more specialized allocation.
Effects and scaling
At rank 0, Lethal Torrent gives +10% Fire Rate and +10% Multishot. At rank 3, both are +40%; at rank 5, both are +60%. It is a dual-stat bonus, not a direct listed damage increase.
Practical comparisons
Accelerated Isotope adds Radiation and fire rate; Anemic Agility offers more fire rate but reduces damage; Creeping Bullseye adds critical chance while reducing fire rate. These options trade different stats, so choose them according to the build’s need rather than assuming any one replaces both of Lethal Torrent’s bonuses.
Rank and slot
This Rare five-rank standard pistol mod has Madurai polarity and 6 base drain. Both bonuses scale together, reaching +60% Fire Rate and +60% Multishot at rank 5. Fusion costs increase at higher ranks, so weigh the paired bonuses against the cost and other mods competing for a standard slot.
Limitation
The effect is specifically fire rate and multishot. It does not list critical chance or elemental damage, and its bonuses should not be described as a fixed final damage increase.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses 6 base drain and a standard slot for two linked bonuses.
- Other options may trade fire rate for radiation, damage, or critical chance instead.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Describing its fire rate and multishot as a fixed final damage multiplier.
- Ignoring that comparison options trade different stats and may include drawbacks.
