Understand Pressurized Magazine
Useful when…
- Gain temporary fire rate after reloading, provided you aim during the duration.
- Pair the effect with a pistol whose reload and aimed firing pattern make use of the window.
Effect and conditions
The mod activates on reload. At rank 0 it grants +15% Fire Rate when Aiming for 2 seconds; rank 3 gives +60% for 6 seconds; rank 5 gives +90% for 9 seconds. The bonus is explicitly tied to aiming and its timed window, rather than being a permanent fire-rate increase.
Slot and investment
Pressurized Magazine is a Rare standard-slot pistol mod with Madurai polarity and a maximum rank of 5. The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits; rank 4-to-5 costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Higher ranks both increase the fire-rate bonus and extend its duration, so rank it according to how reliably your play uses the reload-then-aim window.
Related fire-rate choices
Accelerated Isotope lists +40% Fire Rate together with +60% Radiation. Anemic Agility lists +90% Fire Rate and -15% Damage. Those effects are not the same trigger pattern as Pressurized Magazine: choose based on whether you need its reload-and-aim condition, the extra Radiation, or accept the listed damage penalty for a flat fire-rate bonus. Hemorrhage instead uses Impact status effects to potentially apply Slash, with its chance doubled when Fire Rate is below 2.5; it is not a fire-rate substitute.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus requires a reload and aiming during a limited duration.
- Higher ranks increase both bonus and duration at increasing fusion costs.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the fire-rate bonus to remain active beyond the listed duration.
- Assuming the reload trigger alone grants the bonus when not aiming.
