Mods Explained
Why each mod is in this Nautilus loadout.
- Primed Animal Instinct
Radar Exilus for dense Steel Path tiles where packs approach from off-screen.
- Cordon
Stacks enemies so Contagious Bond hops and Duplex gunfire waste fewer shots on stragglers.
- Manifold Bond
Status-on-Cordon plus cooldown reduction — every pull should land a full elemental cocktail.
- Vacuum
Collects orbs and ammo after the clump dies so you stay in the kill zone.
- Assault Mode
Sentinel (and its Duplex clones’ targeting) keep applying weapon statuses between Cordon casts.
- Duplex Bond
Energy spend spawns clones that shoot into the Cordon pile; clone kills can drop energy orbs for the next ability cycle.
- Contagious Bond
Companion kills spray half their statuses onto nearby enemies — Cordon’s clump becomes a status chain reaction.
- Enhanced Vitality
Extra health bulk for base Nautilus sitting in the middle of Steel Path packs without Prime shields.
- Primed Regen
Recovery safety net when the non-Prime body inevitably melts in the clump.
