Maximization

The term "Maximization" refers to obtaining the highest possible value obtainable in the game which can only be reached by utilizing all possible mods and gear that improve that specific aspect of the ability or weapon. This is a form of "min-maxing".

It is usually impossible to develop a build which can simultaneously achieve maximized results on every aspect of an ability or weapon.

Achieving a maximized value requires multiple mods including those which may incur penalties into other aspects of the ability/weapon. For example, reaching the maximized Power Strength on the ability Sonar makes it impossible to also obtain the maximized Power Efficiency. These limitations must always be considered when reading about a maximized value on an ability or weapon.

Weapons which use the term "maximized" should always include a note listing required mods and drawbacks on the page that it occurs on since this page does not list weapon maximizations.
