Understand Primed Reach
Useful when…
- Increase the listed Range of a melee weapon.
- Use when reach is more valuable to the setup than another mod's stat.
Effect and compatibility
It adds +0.3 Range at rank 0, +1.6 at rank 5, and +3 at rank 10. It is a standard melee mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 4. Reach cannot be equipped alongside it.
Rank investment
It has 10 ranks. Listed examples cost 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 1,280 Endo and 61,824 Credits from rank 5 to 6, and 20,480 Endo and 989,184 Credits from rank 9 to 10. Partial ranking supplies a smaller range bonus if full investment is not appropriate.
Related melee mods
Reach adds +2.3 Range at rank 5 with base drain 4, making it a lower-ceiling comparison. Amalgam Organ Shatter grants Critical Damage and Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed; Auger Strike grants Puncture. They serve different stat goals and are not direct replacements for range. The given facts do not specify how a particular weapon's attacks use Range.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Higher ranks cost substantial resources.
- The Range bonus uses a standard melee mod slot.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Equipping Reach together with Primed Reach.
- Assuming the listed Range value translates to a specific attack radius without weapon-specific details.
