Heavy Caliber is a mod that increases damage of Primary Weapons (excluding Shotguns) at the cost of increased spread (reducing accuracy). Some weapons will have additional spread added, in addition to the base amount.

Notes[]
- Instead of reducing the accuracy by 5% per rank, each rank increases spread by a specific value per rank depending on the weapon.
- Damage bonus stacks additively with similar mods, such as Serration.
- Since the two stack additively and Heavy Caliber costs 2 more mod capacity for the same bonus, combining the two is slightly less efficient in terms of damage per capacity cost. Maxed Serration grants +11.79% bonus damage per 1 mod capacity, while maxed Heavy Caliber grants +10.31% bonus damage per mod capacity. Combining the two, Serration and Heavy Caliber grant +11% bonus damage per 1 mod capacity, which is +0.79% less bonus damage per capacity than Serration alone.
- Added spread is not affected by bonuses that increase accuracy, such as Twitch or Guided Ordnance.
- Causes beam of all continuous weapons to noticeably wobble.
Trivia[]
- When it was first released, Heavy Caliber's original penalty was an increase in recoil as well as damage. However the recoil penalty did not affect recoil-less weapons ( Flux Rifle, Ignis, Synapse, bows and Lanka among others), effectively acting as another instance of Serration. This was confirmed to be unintentional in Warframe Prime Time - Episode 2 (9:40). The mod's penalty was changed in Update 10.4 (2013-10-16).
