Understand Parallax Scope
Useful when…
- Increase an Archgun’s critical chance.
- Use a standard Archgun mod slot for a direct critical-chance bonus.
Effect and scope
Parallax Scope grants +25% critical chance at rank 0, +75% at rank 2, and +100% at rank 3. It is compatible with Archguns. The listed bonus does not establish the weapon’s resulting critical chance, which depends on its own stats and other equipped effects.
Slot and alternatives
It is a standard mod with Naramon polarity and base drain 4. Critical Focus instead lists critical chance and critical damage when aiming. Charged Bullets and Contamination Casing list elemental damage and status chance, so they serve different goals rather than being direct versions of Parallax Scope’s unconditional critical-chance bonus.
Rank investment
It ranks from 0 to 3. The listed rank 2 to 3 step costs 40 Endo and 1,932 credits for the increase from +75% to +100% critical chance. This is a relatively small final step in the listed costs; prioritize it if the extra critical-chance bonus matters to the Archgun you are modding.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- It occupies a standard Archgun slot and gives critical chance only.
- The mod’s listed bonus is not the weapon’s final critical chance.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading +100% as the weapon’s final critical chance.
- Assuming the bonus is conditional on aiming; the listed Parallax Scope effect has no aiming condition.
