Understand Flawed Seeking Force
Useful when…
- Add limited Punch Through to a shotgun in a standard slot.
- Use as a lower-drain alternative to Seeking Force when its smaller effect is sufficient.
Effect and compatibility
This Flawed Rare shotgun mod has Naramon polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. It grants +0.2 Punch Through at rank 0, +0.6 at rank 2, and +0.8 at rank 3. It is incompatible with standard Seeking Force.
Rank costs
The three listed fusion steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, and 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 Credits. Ranking increases Punch Through to +0.8 while keeping this variant's capacity cost below the standard mod's base drain of 10. Invest if that amount is useful on the shotgun; otherwise the mod's specialized effect may not justify the slot.
Compare other shotgun mods
Seeking Force reaches +2.1 Punch Through at rank 5 but cannot be equipped with Flawed Seeking Force. Accelerated Blast instead offers Fire Rate and Puncture damage, while Amalgam Shotgun Barrage offers Fire Rate and revive speed. These have distinct effects and are alternatives only when those effects better serve the build.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Maximum Punch Through is lower than on Seeking Force.
- Punch Through is a specialized behavior, not a direct damage bonus.
- Cannot be equipped with Seeking Force.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Punch Through to add a percentage to the shotgun's damage.
- Trying to equip both Seeking Force variants.
