Accelerated Blast is a mod that increases the fire rate of Shotguns by 15% and Puncture damage by 15% per rank for a maximum of 60% at rank 3 for both values.
The 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 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.
