Cheat sheets that run it
Tips that save runs
- Primary weapons with high crit multipliers: the bonus only goes to Primary weapons.
- Point Strike and other crit mods: the bonus adds to them.
- Ability Strength mods: the crit per meter scales with Strength, so you reach the cap in fewer meters.
- The 250% cap is fixed and mods do not change it.
- Crit per meter is affected by Ability Strength.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Hoping to push the cap past 250% with more Strength; the cap does not move.
- Teleporting to a Reservoir next to you; the bonus grows with distance traveled.
