Understand Prize Kill
Useful when…
- Use a shotgun kill to trigger reduced Shield Recharge Delay in Conclave.
- Compare its shield effect and Health Orb penalty with other Conclave shotgun options.
Kill-triggered effects
At rank 3, a kill reduces Shield Recharge Delay by 100% for 10 seconds and reduces benefit from Health Orbs by 25%. At rank 0, the delay reduction is 25% for 3 seconds and the Health Orb reduction is 6.2%. The Health Orb reduction's duration is unspecified.
Slot and rank investment

Related shotgun effects

Limitations and tradeoffs
- The shield recharge delay effect requires a kill.
- The mod also reduces benefit from Health Orbs; the penalty's duration is unspecified.
- Rank 3 improves the shield effect and increases the listed Health Orb reduction.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the shield delay reduction is active before a kill.
- Assuming the Health Orb penalty lasts only as long as the shield effect.
- Treating this Conclave mod as a standard-variant shotgun mod.
