Understand Sawtooth Clip
Useful when…
- Use it in a rifle setup when its Slash bonus fits the intended damage configuration.
- Compare its fit and rank details with Flawed Sawtooth Clip when considering that alternative.
Effect and rifle fit
Sawtooth Clip is a Standard Common rifle mod with Naramon polarity and base drain 4. It lists +15% Slash at rank 0, +60% at rank 3, and +90% at rank 5. These are the mod's Slash bonuses, not final weapon damage.
Ranks and fusion costs
The maximum rank is 5. Listed fusion steps include rank 0→1 for 10 Endo and 483 Credits, rank 2→3 for 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits, and rank 4→5 for 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits. The rank 5 listed bonus is +90% Slash.
Related rifle mods
Flawed Sawtooth Clip is listed as a Flawed rifle mod with base drain 2 and a +10% Slash bonus; its bonus rank is not specified. Sawtooth Clip is explicitly incompatible with it. Aerial Ace refreshes Double Jump on kills while airborne, and Agile Aim is a Conclave Exilus mod that grants movement speed while aiming; their listed effects concern movement rather than Slash.
Listed sources
Listed sources include Derivator Crewman and Kuva Trokarian at 0.76% each; Arid, Drekar, Frontier, Kuva, Narmer, and Tusk Seekers, Grineer Manic, and Seeker at 2.28% each.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Sawtooth Clip has base drain 4; the Flawed comparison has base drain 2 and a separately listed +10% Slash bonus.
- Its stated benefit is a Slash bonus, so its value depends on the rifle setup.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating +90% Slash as a 90% increase to final weapon damage.
- Assuming Sawtooth Clip can be equipped with Flawed Sawtooth Clip.
- Confusing the movement effects listed for Aerial Ace or Agile Aim with Sawtooth Clip's Slash bonus.
