Notes

• This mod is more cost effective than a rank 3 Shotgun Spazz Shotgun Spazz mod and a max rank Flechette Flechette mod put together (9 to 16).
• Can be paired with Shotgun Spazz and Frail Momentum Frail Momentum to provide a 240% increase in fire rate.
• Stacks with Flechette and Breach Loader Breach Loader for a maximum of 210% Puncture Damage Puncture damage.
• There are only five shotguns that deal primarily Puncture Damage Puncture damage; the Hek Hek, Vaykor Hek Vaykor Hek, Corinth Corinth, Corinth Prime Corinth Prime, and Cedo Cedo. All other shotguns, including the Sweeper Sweeper for Sentinels, deal less than 20% of their base damage as Puncture.
• The Phage Phage deals no physical damage whatsoever, so it only benefits from the increase in fire rate.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 12.4 (2014-03-05), at base level the mod was increasing Puncture Damage Puncture damage by 22% rather than 15% and adding the Puncture damage based on the weapon's total base damage, causing unusually large boosts in Puncture damage as a result. These bugs have since been fixed.
• The mod picture is misleading, as it implies that it adds punch through in order to puncture the Shield Lancer's shield, when in reality it increases the puncture damage type. while also, the shotgun featured in the image is a Sobek. which deals mostly Impact Damage Impact damage.
