Mods Explained

Why each mod is in this Detron loadout.

  • Merciless Gunfight

    Exilus punch through and crit damage so one pull tags multiple bodies — Thermagnetic Shells needs openers before the %HP cascade takes the room.

  • Thermagnetic Shells

    Mandatory Detron augment — kills explode for Magnetic plus 40% enemy max health in a 6m radius, the same Acid Shells-style chain engine Uriel’s arsenal calls out.

  • Galvanized Diffusion

    Kill-stacking multishot that feeds more pellets into the first kill — you need a clean opener before Thermagnetic Shells owns the pack.

  • Galvanized Shot

    Status chance plus per-status direct damage for the starter kill — Shot does not scale the Shells blast itself, but it starts the chain under Radiation and Heat.

  • Hornet Strike

    Unconditional base damage so openers still delete when Galvanized stacks are cold — Shells cascades fail if the first body never drops.

  • Primed Heated Charge

    Heavy Heat weighting so Vythelas Heat DoTs double-dip — Uriel Fire arsenal identity when the rune is up beside Thermagnetic clear.

  • Scorch

    Second Heat + status weight that further double-dips Vythelas ticks — dual Heat keeps armor panic and DoT refresh online while Shells cascades.

  • Primed Expel Grineer

    Faction multiplier that triple-dips Heat DoTs and ability-taxied Shells damage — mandatory when the cascade is carrying Steel Path HP.

  • Pistol Elementalist

    Status damage and reload so Heat ticks hurt and you re-chamber fast enough to keep feeding the cascade between packs.
