Vile Precision

An Exilus Rifle mod that strongly reduces recoil while lowering Fire Rate.

Released Oct 9, 2013

Vile Precision trades fire rate for reduced weapon recoil, reaching -90% recoil and -36% Fire Rate at max rank. The listed fire-rate penalty is doubled for Bows. Consider it when recoil control is useful enough to justify slower firing, especially in its Exilus slot.

Understand Vile Precision

Useful when…

  • Reducing recoil on a compatible Rifle.

At rank 5, Vile Precision grants -90% Weapon Recoil and -36% Fire Rate; the Fire Rate penalty is doubled for Bows. At rank 0, the effects are -15% recoil and -6% Fire Rate; at rank 3 they are -60% and -24%, respectively. These values describe the mod's listed effects.

Slot and investment

This Rare Rifle Exilus mod has Naramon polarity, 4 base drain, and a maximum rank of 5. The rank 4 to 5 example costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Because each rank increases recoil reduction while worsening the fire-rate penalty, choose rank according to the balance the weapon needs.

Compare the specific tradeoff

Critical Delay adds critical chance while reducing fire rate; Flawed Speed Trigger adds fire rate without a listed recoil effect; Primed Shred adds fire rate and punch through. They do not provide the same recoil reduction. Choose among them based on whether recoil control, critical chance, or the listed firing and punch-through effects matter to the build.

Acquisition listed

The supplied drop listing names Derelict Vault, with a 4.17% chance.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Recoil reduction costs Fire Rate, with the listed penalty doubled for Bows.
  • It occupies an Exilus slot and has 4 base drain.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Overlooking that the Fire Rate penalty doubles for Bows.
  • Treating recoil reduction as a free benefit without accounting for slower firing.
