Overpressured Rounds rewards switching between the EFV-5 Jupiter’s rifle and Buckshot attacks: rifle kills improve the next Buckshot attack’s falloff distance and spread, while Buckshot kills return part of the current magazine. Consider it if you use both attacks and can secure kills with each.
Use rifle kills to prepare a Buckshot attack with greater falloff distance and reduced spread.
Use Buckshot kills to restore part of the current magazine.
How the effect works
A rifle kill adds falloff distance and decreases spread for the next Buckshot attack. A Buckshot kill restores a percentage of the current magazine. At rank 5, those effects are +120% falloff distance and 50% magazine restoration; at rank 0, they are +20% and 25%.
The effect supports alternating between rifle kills and Buckshot attacks. It offers less value if you rely on only one attack, since each bonus depends on a kill with the other attack. It is a standard rifle mod compatible with EFV-5 Jupiter, with Madurai polarity and base drain 2.
Rank investment
It ranks from 0 to 5. Rank increases both the falloff bonus and the magazine fraction returned, so rank it according to how often you trigger both effects and your available Endo and credits. The listed rank 4 to 5 step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 credits.
Both effects require a kill with a particular attack; the rifle effect also applies only to the next Buckshot attack.
The listed magazine return is a percentage of the current magazine.
Common mistakes to avoid
Expecting the rifle bonus without a rifle kill.
Treating the Buckshot magazine return as a fixed number of rounds.
