Understand Primed Venomous Clip
Useful when…
- Adding Toxin damage to an Archgun build.
- Using a Vazarin-polarity Archgun slot, where the mod's polarity matches.
Effect and compatibility
This standard Archgun mod increases Toxin by a listed percentage, up to +187% at rank 10. It is not a weapon's final damage figure. It has Vazarin polarity, base drain 4, and is incompatible with Venomous Clip; the two cannot be equipped together.
Rank investment
The mod can reach rank 10. Rank 5 provides +102% Toxin, while the final five ranks add another 85 percentage points. The listed rank 9-to-10 step costs 20,480 Endo and 989,184 Credits, so stopping short can conserve resources if that last increment is not needed for your build.
Alternative
Venomous Clip is the standard lower-rank variant: it reaches +120% Toxin at rank 5, has the same Archgun type and Vazarin polarity, and is also excluded when Primed Venomous Clip is equipped. Ammo Chain instead raises maximum ammo; Archgun Ace grants fire or charge rate and reload speed after a headshot kill, so neither supplies Toxin damage.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Reaching rank 10 has substantial listed Endo and Credit costs.
- Uses a standard Archgun slot and has base drain 4.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not equip it alongside Venomous Clip; they are explicitly incompatible.
- Do not read +187% Toxin as the Archgun's final damage increase.
