Understand Shell Rush
Useful when…
- Improve charge rate on an Archgun whose attack uses charging.
Effect and compatibility
Shell Rush provides +12.5% charge rate at rank 0, +37.5% at rank 2, and +50% at rank 3. It is a standard-slot Archgun mod with Vazarin polarity and base drain 4.
Rank investment
The mod has three ranks. The listed rank-up examples cost 20 Endo and 966 Credits for rank 0 to 1, 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits for rank 1 to 2, and 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits for rank 2 to 3. Prioritize the final ranks when charge rate is important to the weapon’s use; otherwise, a lower rank preserves resources and capacity.
How it differs from fire-rate mods
Shell Rush is specifically described as charge rate. Automatic Trigger instead lists +60% fire rate, while Magnetized Cycle lists +30% fire rate alongside +60% Magnetic. Those are different listed effects, so consider them according to the Archgun’s firing behavior and the stats you want.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard Archgun mod slot.
- Its charge-rate bonus is not listed as a general fire-rate increase.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming charge rate and fire rate are interchangeable.
- Spending for maximum rank when the equipped Archgun does not make useful use of charge rate.
