Understand Loyal Retriever
Useful when…
- Adding a chance-based bonus that covers both Credit and Resource pickups.
- Comparing a combined pickup bonus with Retriever mods that focus on Credits or Resources.
Effect and chance by rank
Loyal Retriever grants a chance to double Credit and Resource pickups. The listed chance is 3% at rank 0, 9% at rank 3, and 13% at rank 5; the effect does not guarantee that a pickup is doubled.
Compatibility and rank costs
Loyal Retriever is an Uncommon standard-slot Beast mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. It is incompatible with Prosperous Retriever and Resourceful Retriever. Listed rank-up costs are 20 Endo and 966 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits from 2 to 3, and 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits from 4 to 5.
Related pickup effects
Prosperous Retriever gives an 18% chance to double Credit pickups, while Resourceful Retriever gives an 18% chance to double Resource pickups; both are incompatible with Loyal Retriever. Fetch detects and collects items, including mods, within a 13.5 m Companion Gather-Link. Fetch’s listed effect concerns item collection rather than doubling pickups.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The doubling effect is chance-based.
- Loyal Retriever is incompatible with Prosperous Retriever and Resourceful Retriever.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the 13% rank 5 chance as guaranteed doubling.
- Assuming the effect’s exact chance-roll unit or implementation is specified.
- Planning to equip Loyal Retriever alongside Prosperous Retriever or Resourceful Retriever.
