Flawed Shotgun Savvy GUIDE
Understand Flawed Shotgun Savvy
Useful when…
- Check its listed Status Chance bonus and rank when considering a shotgun mod.
- Compare its base drain and rank cap with the separate standard Savvy mods.
Effect and fit
At rank 0, Flawed Shotgun Savvy adds 3% Status Chance; at rank 2 it adds 9%, and at rank 3 it adds 12%. These are the mod’s listed bonuses. It is a standard-slot shotgun mod with Vazarin polarity and base drain 2.
Rank investment and comparisons
The rank track runs from 0 to 3. The listed 2→3 step costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. Standard Shotgun Savvy lists +90% Status Chance, a maximum rank of 5, and base drain 4. Galvanized Savvy lists +80% Status Chance and, on kill, +40% Direct Damage per status type affecting the target for 20 seconds, stacking up to twice. These are separate comparison entries.
Bonus type
The listed effect is Status Chance. Accelerated Blast has a different stated effect: +60% Fire Rate and +60% Puncture.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The rank 3 listed bonus is +12% Status Chance.
- Base drain is 2; the rank cap is 3.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the +12% bonus as the shotgun’s final Status Chance.
- Treating the flawed mod as the standard Shotgun Savvy.
- Treating the 2→3 fusion cost as the total cost to reach rank 3.
