Understand Primed Convulsion
Useful when…
- Adding Electricity to a compatible pistol build.
- Choosing a larger Electricity bonus than standard Convulsion provides.
Effect and compatibility
This standard pistol mod adds Electricity: +15% at rank 0, +90% at rank 5, and +165% at rank 10. It has Naramon polarity and base drain 6. Its effect is a listed mod bonus; the input does not specify a weapon’s resulting damage or a particular elemental combination.
Rank investment
Primed Convulsion can be fused through rank 10. Rank 5 grants +90% Electricity; rank 9 to 10 costs 20,480 Endo and 989,184 Credits for the final increase to +165%. The regular Convulsion also has Naramon polarity and base drain 6, but reaches +90% at its maximum rank 5. Flawed Convulsion offers +40% at rank 3 and base drain 4. Those are lower-bonus alternatives, not extra mods to equip alongside Primed Convulsion.
Slot choices
It occupies a standard pistol mod slot and cannot be used with Convulsion or Flawed Convulsion. Accelerated Isotope is a separate standard pistol mod with Madurai polarity that grants +60% Radiation and +40% Fire Rate; it serves different build goals and is not a direct replacement for an Electricity bonus.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The final rank costs 20,480 Endo and 989,184 Credits from rank 9.
- It uses a standard pistol slot and excludes its named Convulsion variants.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the +165% Electricity listing as the weapon’s final damage increase; it is the mod’s bonus.
- Trying to equip Convulsion or Flawed Convulsion at the same time; both are explicitly incompatible.
