Understand Pistol Pestilence
Useful when…
- Add Toxin damage and Status Chance to a pistol.
- Use its dual-stat bonus when both effects suit the build.
Bonuses by rank
At rank 0, Pistol Pestilence grants +15% Toxin and +15% Status Chance. At rank 2, it grants +45% to each; at maximum rank 3, it grants +60% to each.
Elemental setup
The mod combines a Toxin bonus with a Status Chance bonus. Its Toxin contribution depends on the other elemental mods equipped; the listed bonuses alone do not establish the resulting elemental combination.
Rank and fit
This Rare standard pistol mod has Madurai polarity, base drain 4, and a maximum rank of 3. The final fusion step, from rank 2 to rank 3, costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits.
Other status-focused pistol mods
Carnis Stinger combines Slash and Status Chance, while Frostbite combines Cold and Status Chance. Embedded Catalyzer grants Status Chance when aiming for 9 seconds after an ability cast. Their listed effects differ from Pistol Pestilence’s Toxin bonus.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard pistol mod slot.
- The value of its Toxin bonus depends on the other elemental mods equipped.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Confusing Status Chance with Status Damage.
- Assuming a specific resulting elemental combination without accounting for other equipped elemental mods.
