Understand Tactical Reload
Useful when…
- Use with an assault rifle when holstering it creates opportunities for magazine replenishment.
- Consider in a Conclave-oriented setup that can make use of its variant and Exilus slot.
Trigger and effect
Tactical Reload reloads a portion of the magazine per second while the rifle is holstered. It provides 5% per second at rank 0, 15% at rank 2, and 20% at rank 3. The effect is conditional on holstering the weapon; it is not a general reload-speed bonus while firing.
Equipment and rank costs
This Rare Conclave-variant Assault Rifle Exilus mod has Naramon polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. The listed rank 2 to 3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Consider that investment against how often the rifle will be holstered. No incompatible names are listed.
Other rifle handling choices
Guided Ordnance grants accuracy when aiming after a hit, Gun Glide lists recoil and accuracy changes while sliding, and Hydraulic Gauge reduces recoil while also reducing magazine capacity. These are distinct conditional handling effects and do not provide Tactical Reload’s holstered magazine replenishment.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The effect requires the rifle to be holstered, so it does not replenish the magazine while the rifle is in use.
- The mod occupies an Exilus slot and has base drain 6.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the magazine to reload while the rifle remains equipped and in use.
- Treating the listed percentage per second as a flat reload-speed bonus.
