Sentient Surge

Ocucor tendril-based critical and status augment

Released May 24, 2023

Sentient Surge refills part of the Ocucor magazine when a target is eliminated and raises critical chance and status chance for each active Tendril. Consider it when you use the Ocucor’s Tendrils and can maintain them while eliminating targets.

Sentient Surge GUIDE

Understand Sentient Surge

Useful when…

  • Increase Ocucor critical chance and status chance while Tendrils are active.
  • Recover a portion of the magazine as targets are eliminated.

Effects depend on active Tendrils

At rank 0, each active Tendril adds 10% critical chance and 10% status chance; at rank 5, each adds 60% to each. The mod also refills 3% of the Ocucor’s magazine per eliminated target at rank 0, scaling to 20% at rank 5.

Rank and investment

This Ocucor-only mod has Madurai polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. The listed rank 4–5 fusion step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Higher ranks raise both the per-Tendril critical and status bonuses and the per-elimination magazine refill.

When its bonuses matter

The critical and status increases scale with the number of Tendrils active, so the listed full per-Tendril bonus is not a flat weapon-wide amount. Magazine recovery is tied to eliminating targets; do not count it as a fixed refill on every shot or hit.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The critical and status bonuses depend on active Tendrils.
  • Magazine recovery requires eliminating a target.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Counting the per-Tendril bonus when no Tendrils are active.
  • Expecting magazine recovery from hits that do not eliminate a target.
