Understand Night Stalker
Useful when…
- Consider it in Conclave when keeping a pistol-hit target visible on the minimap for several seconds is useful.
What happens on a hit?
A pistol hit reveals the target on the minimap. The reveal lasts 1 second at rank 0, 4 seconds at rank 3, and 6 seconds at rank 5. The description gives no damage, status, or other combat bonus.
Where does it fit, and how should you rank it?
Night Stalker is an Uncommon Conclave pistol mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. The listed fusion steps cost 20/966, 80/3,864, and 320/15,456 Endo/Credits for the shown rank intervals. Higher ranks lengthen the minimap reveal, so invest when that extra tracking time matters. It is a standard slot mod and is compatible with pistols.
How does it differ from other pistol mods?
The supplied comparison candidates have distinct effects: Accelerated Isotope adds Radiation and fire rate, Air Recon reduces aim-glide zoom and uses an Exilus slot, and Amalgam Barrel Diffusion adds multishot and dodge speed. These do not provide the minimap reveal described for Night Stalker. Air Recon and Night Stalker are both Conclave variants, while the other two are standard variants.
Acquisition
Night Stalker is listed from Conclave, Mistral. The supplied entry gives no basis for extrapolating that location to other availability.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed effect supports target tracking and does not add a stated damage bonus.
- Its variant is Conclave.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not mistake the minimap reveal for a damage or target-marking damage bonus.
- Do not treat the Conclave variant as a standard pistol mod.
