Understand Lingering Torment
Useful when…
- Increase shotgun Status Duration without changing the listed status chance.
Effect and compatibility
At maximum rank, this standard shotgun mod grants +90% Status Duration. Rank 0 grants +15%, and rank 3 grants +60%. It is Common, Madurai-polarized, has base drain 6, and is compatible with shotguns.
Rank investment
The mod has five ranks. The listed 4→5 step costs 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits to raise the bonus from +75% to +90%. Since the stat is duration rather than status chance, the benefit depends on applying status effects and wanting them to last longer.
Related status mods
Flawed Shotgun Savvy gives status chance, Frigid Blast combines Cold with status chance, and Galvanized Savvy provides status chance plus a conditional direct-damage bonus after a kill. Those effects are distinct from extending duration; none is a direct replacement for Lingering Torment's listed stat.
Listed sources
The listed drops include several Trooper and Eviscerator variants and Undying Flyer. The listed Eidolon Gantulyst reward entry is another source; its presence does not guarantee a drop.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard shotgun slot for Status Duration rather than status chance or another listed stat.
- The last rank costs more than the earlier listed steps.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Status Duration as Status Chance; this mod lists duration only.
- Assuming the listed duration bonus increases the chance to apply a status effect.
