Hydraulic Crosshairs is a common Pistol mod that increases critical chance while aiming for a brief time upon a headshot.
Stats[edit | edit source]
| Rank | Critical chance | Duration | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | +22.5% | 1.5s | 2 |
| 1 | +45% | 3s | 3 |
| 2 | +67.5% | 4.5s | 4 |
| 3 | +90% | 6s | 5 |
| 4 | +112.5% | 7.5s | 6 |
| 5 | +135% | 9s | 7 |
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Hydraulic Crosshairs is additive with similar mods. For example, a
Sicarus with a max rank Hydraulic Crosshairs and 
Pistol Gambit will have a 16% × (1 + 135% + 120%) = 56.8% critical chance. - Hydraulic Crosshairs will trigger upon headshots, i.e. any weapon hit to an enemy's head, whether the target survives or not.
- Headshots will refresh Hydraulic Crosshairs' timer.
- If activated, Hydraulic Crosshairs will display an icon timer beside the player's health UI, and the Warframe will be briefly surrounded by an energy ribbon.
- Hydraulic Crosshairs' buff does not seem to multiply prior flat-crit% buffs such as Arcane Avenger.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- This mod is best used on full-auto pistols with high critical stats, such as the Aksomati, as their high rate of fire ensures that they have a better chance of landing headshots against enemies.
- Can be combined with Primed Pistol Gambit for a total increase of +322% after getting a shot to an enemies' head. This allows the Akmagnus, Lato Vandal, Lex Prime, Spira, Spira Prime, Pandero, Plinx and Twin Grakatas to gain a critical chance of over 100% after performing a headshot, allowing orange crits.
Patch History[edit | edit source]
- Now drops from level 30-40 Necralisk Bounties
- Removed ability to unintentionally equip Hydraulic Crosshairs and Sharpened Bullets on Mesa’s Regulators. Although the buff appeared to trigger, it never actually applied due to the "on aim" criteria not being fulfilled (unless you had a very specific loadout with the Mesa Waltz Augment equipped).
- Fixed Argon Scope, Hydraulic Crosshairs and Repeater Clip not using proper HUD buff icon.
- Added as potential reward from Lua Spy missions.
- Added to the game as an event-exclusive drop from Operation: Shadow Debt.
