Metal Auger GUIDE
Understand Metal Auger
Useful when…
- Add the listed Punch Through bonus to a compatible rifle.
- Compare its listed rank effects and capacity needs with your setup.
Punch Through by rank
Metal Auger grants +0.4 Punch Through at rank 0, +1.4 at rank 3, and +2.1 at rank 5. These are the mod's listed bonuses.
Fit and fusion costs
This Rare standard Rifle mod has Naramon polarity, base drain 10, and maximum rank 5. The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits; rank 4-to-5 costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits.
Flawed version and distinct effects
Flawed Metal Auger lists +1 Punch Through. The comparison does not state its base drain, and it is explicitly incompatible with Metal Auger. Aerial Ace refreshes Double Jump on kills while airborne, and Agile Aim grants movement speed while aiming; these different effects do not provide the listed Punch Through bonus.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Metal Auger lists a higher maximum Punch Through bonus than Flawed Metal Auger; the supplied comparison does not give the Flawed version's base drain.
- The listed rank 4-to-5 fusion step costs more than the rank 2-to-3 step.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Trying to equip Metal Auger and Flawed Metal Auger together despite their explicit incompatibility.
- Assuming Flawed Metal Auger's base drain from the supplied comparison, which does not state it.
