Understand Pacifying Bolts
Useful when…
- Add three force bolts to Psychic Bolts, with guaranteed Radiation Status Effects.
- Confuse enemies struck for up to 10 seconds at max rank.
Effect and duration
The augment adds three force bolts to Psychic Bolts and gives them a guaranteed Radiation Status Effect. Enemies struck are confused for 4 seconds at rank 0, 8 seconds at rank 2, and 10 seconds at rank 3.
Slot and ability choice
This is a standard Nyx mod with Zenurik polarity and base drain 6. It modifies Psychic Bolts. Other Nyx augments in the comparison list affect Chaos or Absorb instead, so they serve different ability choices rather than replacing this effect directly.
Rank investment
It has three ranks. Ranks increase confusion duration, while the listed additional bolts and guaranteed Radiation effect remain the same. The listed rank 2 to 3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 credits; prioritize that final rank when the extra two seconds of confusion matter to your use of Psychic Bolts.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- It requires a standard mod slot and changes Psychic Bolts rather than Nyx’s other abilities.
- The added bolts and Radiation effect are present at rank 0; ranking mainly extends confusion duration.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the augment modifies Chaos or Absorb; it augments Psychic Bolts.
- Expecting rank to increase the number of added bolts; the listed rank progression increases confusion duration.
