Understand Quasar Drill
Useful when…
- Add Puncture damage to a compatible Archgun build.
- Use its Naramon polarity when it suits the Archgun’s mod capacity and slot arrangement.
Effect and fit
This standard Archgun mod increases Puncture by 15% at rank 0, 60% at rank 3, and 90% at rank 5. It uses a standard mod slot, has Naramon polarity, and applies to Archguns. No incompatible names are listed.
Ranking and tradeoffs
The mod starts at 2 drain and has five ranks. The listed fusion examples rise from 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0 to 1, to 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits for rank 4 to 5. Rank it when the added Puncture is worth the increasing investment and capacity use; the listed values do not imply a final-damage total.
Alternatives and acquisition
Ammo Chain instead adds maximum ammunition, while Archgun Ace grants fire or charge rate and reload speed for 9 seconds after a headshot kill. Those solve different needs and are not direct substitutes for Puncture. Listed sources for Quasar Drill include Lektro Commander, Pyr Captain, and several mission reward tables; source availability can change.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard Archgun slot and capacity for a single damage-type bonus.
- Higher ranks improve the listed Puncture bonus but require greater fusion investment.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating +90% Puncture as a 90% increase to total weapon damage.
- Confusing an ammo-capacity or conditional reload mod with a Puncture damage effect.
