Understand Flawed Pistol Gambit
Useful when…
- Add critical chance to a pistol using a standard mod slot.
- Use as a lower-rank or lower-capacity option before considering other listed critical chance mods.
Effect and rank values
Flawed Pistol Gambit grants +15% Critical Chance at rank 0, +45% at rank 2, and +60% at rank 3. It is the Flawed variant, not the standard Pistol Gambit.
Fit and improvement cost
This Common Flawed pistol mod has Madurai polarity, base drain 2, and a maximum rank of 3. Its listed fusion costs are 10 Endo and 483 Credits for rank 0 to 1, 20 Endo and 966 Credits for 1 to 2, and 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits for 2 to 3. It is listed as incompatible with Pistol Gambit, Primed Pistol Gambit, and Creeping Bullseye.
Comparing critical chance choices
Standard Pistol Gambit lists +120% Critical Chance, Primed Pistol Gambit lists +187%, and Creeping Bullseye lists +200% with a -20% Fire Rate penalty. Those options have different values and tradeoffs; the Flawed mod’s lower drain and three-rank cap do not make it equivalent to them.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The Flawed variant has a lower maximum critical chance than the listed standard and Primed versions.
- Incompatible with Pistol Gambit, Primed Pistol Gambit, and Creeping Bullseye.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the Flawed mod as standard Pistol Gambit.
- Attempting to equip it with one of its explicitly incompatible critical chance mods.
