Shred Shot GUIDE
Understand Shred Shot
Useful when…
- Convert part of a shotgun's damage to Puncture in Conclave.
Effect and rank progression
The conversion rises from 5% at rank 0 to 15% at rank 2 and 20% at rank 3. It is a Conclave standard-slot shotgun mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 3.
Investment and alternatives
The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. Crash Shot converts 20% of damage into Impact, and Flak Shot converts 20% into Slash; both are Conclave shotgun conversion mods with different target damage types. Accelerated Blast instead adds fire rate and Puncture, so it is not the same kind of conversion.
Limitations
This is a damage conversion effect, not a flat Puncture damage bonus. It is explicitly incompatible with Crash Shot and Flak Shot, so those conversion mods cannot be planned as simultaneous additions.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Converts a portion of damage rather than simply adding Puncture.
- Restricted to Conclave and incompatible with the listed alternate conversion mods.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the conversion as bonus damage added on top of the existing damage.
- Trying to equip it with Crash Shot or Flak Shot.
