Understand Primed Bane of Corpus
Useful when…
- Add a faction-specific damage multiplier to a rifle against Corpus.
- Use a lower rank when the full bonus is not worth the listed fusion investment.
Faction effect
Primed Bane of Corpus is a standard-slot rifle mod with Madurai polarity. It lists ×1.05 damage to Corpus at rank 0, ×1.3 at rank 5, and ×1.55 at rank 10. The condition is the target faction; the listed effect does not extend to other factions.
Rank costs and variants
The listed rank 5-to-6 step costs 1,280 Endo and 61,824 Credits; rank 9-to-10 costs 20,480 Endo and 989,184 Credits. Standard Bane of Corpus lists ×1.3 damage at its maximum rank, while Flawed Bane of Corpus lists ×1.1. Primed Bane of Corpus explicitly excludes both, making them alternative variants.
Slot distinction
Aerial Ace is an Exilus rifle mod whose effect refreshes Double Jump on a kill while airborne, up to six times. It does not provide faction damage and uses a different slot type, so it addresses movement rather than replacing the Corpus bonus.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its damage multiplier is faction-specific and occupies a standard rifle slot.
- The Primed version has a higher listed maximum but substantial final-rank costs.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the Corpus-specific multiplier to apply to other factions.
- Attempting to equip it with Bane of Corpus or Flawed Bane of Corpus despite the exclusions.
