Understand Tek Assault
Useful when…
- Improving a Kavat's chance to survive a lethal hit
- Adding a short immunity window after the lethal-damage check succeeds
Effect and rank scaling
At maximum rank, Tek Assault gives the Kavat a 60% chance to ignore lethal damage and be immune for 4 seconds. Rank 0 provides a 15% chance and 1 second of immunity; rank 2 provides 45% and 3 seconds.
Practical role and limits
The mod addresses lethal damage to the Kavat, and success is not guaranteed because the effect is chance-based. The immunity period is 4 seconds at rank 3; the supplied effect does not specify a cooldown or guarantee protection from every other source of danger.
Fit and ranking
Tek Assault is a Kavat mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. The rank 2-to-3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits, raising the chance from 45% to 60% and immunity from 3 to 4 seconds.
Other Kavat functions
Fear Sense improves Kavat attacks against sensed enemies and can stagger or knock down. Territorial Aggression creates a zone where shadow Kavats may attack enemies. Pounce makes the Kavat leap at and stun a target. Those add offensive or control behavior, while Tek Assault is specifically a survival effect.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The lethal-damage protection has a 60% chance at maximum rank, so it may fail to trigger.
- It uses base drain 6, which competes with other Kavat mod choices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the 60% chance as guaranteed lethal-hit protection.
- Assuming the listed 4-second immunity duration applies at all ranks.
