Understand Primed Shred
Useful when…
- Increase a rifle's Fire Rate and Punch Through.
- Apply the listed doubled Fire Rate bonus when used on a bow.
Effects and bow condition
At rank 0 it gives +5% Fire Rate and +0.2 Punch Through; at rank 5, +30% and +1.2; at rank 10, +55% and +2.2. Fire Rate is doubled for bows, so the rank 10 listed Fire Rate bonus is +110% for bows. It is a standard Rifle mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 6, and it cannot be equipped with Shred.
Rank investment
The mod 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 ranks give smaller amounts of both effects, so choose an investment that fits resources and capacity.
Compare the alternatives
Shred reaches +30% Fire Rate and +1.2 Punch Through at rank 5 with base drain 6. Aerial Ace refreshes Double Jump on kills while airborne, and Agile Aim is a Conclave mod that adds movement speed while aiming; neither supplies Primed Shred's two weapon effects. Primed Shred is not listed as an Exilus mod.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Base drain 6 competes with other rifle mods for capacity.
- The bow-specific Fire Rate multiplier does not double the Punch Through bonus.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying the bow multiplier to Punch Through as well as Fire Rate.
- Trying to equip it with Shred.
