Flawed Power Throw

Flawed thrown-melee mod

Released Jul 18, 2014

Flawed Power Throw adds Punch Through and increases throw damage on consecutive throws, up to three stacks. Consider it as a limited-rank option for a thrown melee weapon when you can build those stacks; it is incompatible with standard Power Throw.

Flawed Power Throw GUIDE

Understand Flawed Power Throw

Useful when…

Add Punch Through and a conditional throw-damage bonus to a thrown melee weapon.
Use the flawed variant when its lower listed maximum rank and effect fit the available investment.

What are the effects and condition?

At rank 0 it grants +0.3 Punch Through and +16.7% throw damage on consecutive throws, with a maximum of three stacks. Rank 2 lists +1 Punch Through and +50% throw damage; rank 3 reaches +1.3 and +66.7%. The damage bonus is conditional on consecutive throws and capped at three stacks; the inputs do not specify how stacks decay or reset.

What equipment and slot does it use?

It is a Flawed variant for thrown melee weapons, with Madurai polarity, standard slot type, and base drain 4. It is explicitly incompatible with Power Throw. The standard mod reaches +2 Punch Through and +100% throw damage at three stacks, while Flawed Power Throw tops out at +1.3 and +66.7%; Combo Fury and Combo Killer instead describe secondary-weapon or combo-timer effects, not this throw damage effect.

How should you rank it?

The displayed progression costs 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0 to 1, 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits for rank 1 to 2, then 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for rank 2 to 3. Each step raises both listed bonuses; invest further when the added Punch Through and conditional throw damage justify the cost for the weapon's use.

What limits the effect?

The extra throw damage requires consecutive throws and cannot exceed three stacks. The mod does not list an acquisition source in its details, so no location is established here. Do not treat the conditional bonus as a permanent increase to all weapon attacks.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Its bonus needs consecutive throws and has a three-stack cap.
The flawed version has lower maximum listed bonuses than standard Power Throw and cannot be equipped with it.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting the consecutive-throw bonus to apply at full strength without building stacks.
Attempting to equip Flawed Power Throw with Power Throw.
