Understand Mesa's Waltz
Useful when…
- Use it to move while Peacemaker is active, with the rank 3 effect listing 50% Speed.
- Consider ranking it up when the increased movement rate matters during your Peacemaker use.
What changes during Peacemaker?
The augment permits Mesa to move while using Peacemaker. Its listed rate is 35% Speed at rank 0, 45% at rank 2, and 50% at rank 3. These are movement rates, not a claim that Peacemaker’s other behavior or damage changes.
Slot and rank investment
Mesa's Waltz is a Mesa mod with Zenurik polarity, Exilus slot type, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. Listed fusion costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0→1, 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits for 1→2, and 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for 2→3. Rank it according to how much the listed movement increase matters to your use of Peacemaker; the supplied rank effects show 35% at rank 0 and 45% at rank 2, before reaching 50% at rank 3.
How it differs from other Mesa augments
The listed alternatives affect different abilities. Muzzle Flash concerns Shooting Gallery: after six kill assists by a player with Shooting Gallery, Mesa’s next shot blinds enemies within 12 m for 6 s. Ballistic Bullseye concerns Ballistic Battery; its shot gains a +50% Final Critical Chance bonus based on the amount charged. Staggering Shield concerns Shatter Shield, giving reflected bullets a chance to stagger enemies, with a base 50% chance that increases with power strength. These are distinct ability effects, so consider them only when their respective ability mechanics are relevant to your setup.
Acquisition
The listed drop location is Conclave, Tempest.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses Mesa's Exilus slot.
- The rank 3 movement effect is listed as 50% Speed; it does not state that Mesa moves at full speed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the 50% Speed effect means full movement speed.
- Treating Ballistic Bullseye’s +50% Final Critical Chance as unconditional; its bonus is based on the amount Ballistic Battery is charged.
- Assuming the Conclave variant label alone establishes a particular mode restriction.
