Condenser

Condenser

Class	Weapon Mod

Condenser is a shotgun mod that pulls the pellets into a tighter group. More pellets land on a target farther away. Each pellet deals a little less damage in return. It suits a Body build that likes shotguns but fights beyond point blank range. Condenser is available from the early game, since weapon vendors can stock its lower tiers.

Effect

A shotgun fires a spread of pellets. Condenser tightens that spread by 15% at Tier 1 and 25% at Tier 5. The damage of each pellet drops by 20% at Tier 1. The penalty shrinks with each tier to 10% at Tier 5.

How to Get Condenser Guide

Check weapon vendors, which sell lower tiers.
With Phantom Liberty, open airdrops in Dogtown for higher tiers.
Combine a matching pair at the crafting menu to raise its tier.

Upgrades

Condenser comes in Tiers 1 to 5. A matching pair of the same mod and tier can be combined at the crafting menu into one copy a tier higher. A mod can only go on a weapon of the same tier or higher. Once installed in a weapon, the mod stays in that weapon.

Character Builds

Condenser belongs on a shotgun in a Body build. Bullet Ballet cuts bullet spread while moving with shotguns, light machine guns and heavy machine guns. Rip And Tear doubles the damage of the next Quick Melee Attack after a shotgun hit, and of the next shotgun shot after a Quick Melee Attack. Close-Quarters Carnage raises the chance to Obliterate enemies at close range.

Kneel! is another shotgun mod. It can dismember and kill an enemy shot in the leg.
