Pistol Amp GUIDE
Understand Pistol Amp
Useful when…
- Increase pistol damage for the squad through an Aura mod.
- Use in an Aura slot when the squad benefit fits the loadout.
What does Pistol Amp provide?
Pistol Amp gives the squad +27% Pistol Damage at maximum rank. Rank 0 grants +4.5%, and rank 3 grants +18%. The listed effect is pistol damage, so it is relevant to pistols rather than sniper rifles or ammo recovery.
Aura fit and investment
This Uncommon Aura mod has Madurai polarity and a listed base drain of -2. It has five ranks; rank 5 requires 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits for the final listed step. Rank it according to how much the squad pistol bonus matters compared with other Aura effects.
Other Aura effects
Pistol Scavenger improves squad pistol ammo recovery, Dead Eye increases squad sniper rifle damage, and Dreamer’s Bond grants energy and health regeneration. Those address ammo, sniper damage, or regeneration instead of Pistol Amp’s pistol damage bonus.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses the Aura slot.
- Its listed damage benefit concerns pistols; other weapon types have different Aura options.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the pistol damage bonus also applies to sniper rifles or other weapons.
- Overlooking the alternative squad effects available from other Aura mods.
