Swarm is a Weapon Mod in Remnant: From the Ashes. Weapon Mods are components that grant active abilities which can be used in and out of combat. These Mods provide a variety of effects including dealing damage, healing, buffing players and more. Most Mods can be freely slotted in and out of standard Weapons, while the unique Boss Weapons have their own Mods that cannot be removed. Weapon Mod abilities require Mod Power to use, which is generated by attacking enemies. 

Remnant Swarm Mod Information

Swarm is a Damage-focused mod that sends out 5 swarms of insects that will aggressively seek enemies within 20 meters from the caster and repeatedly attack them, dealing 5 Corrosive Damage per hit at the base level. 

Despite the low damage per hit, Swarm attacks incredibly rapidly at a rate close to that of the Submachine Gun. Each swarm will split up and acquire their own targets, depending on how many enemies there are in the area, but all 5 can also target a single enemy, making the mod incredibly effective at taking out single targets as well. After defeating targets, each swarm will converge onto the next available target automatically. Players can also hold the cast button to lock onto enemies within the mod's effective range before unleashing the swarm. Swarm lasts for 15 seconds and each swarm will float around the caster when no enemies are around, but will quickly fly towards the nearest enemy that they detect, as long as the duration has not expired. All in all, Swarm makes for an excellent fire-and-forget source of consistent damage that shines in many situations. Despite behaving like it, Swarm is not a Summon-type mod. This means the insect swarms cannot be destroyed, nor can they benefit from effects that increase Summon Damage.

Swarm Mod Properties

• The damage dealt by Swarm is affected by the level of the Weapon that the mod is slotted into. Each weapon level increases damage per hit by +0.5, granting Swarm a maximum of 15 base damage per hit at Weapon Level 20.
• Swarm's damage is further affected by Mod Damage effects, such as those provided by the Evocation Trait.
• Swarm's Corrosive Damage is considered Elemental Damage, and is therefore affected by the Wisdom Trait.
• Note that Swarm's Mod Power cannot be charged while its effect is still active, so it's best to switch to another weapon during this time.
• Since Weapon Mods can critically hit, Swarm's rapid attack speed makes it an excellent choice to combine with the Radiant Armor Set's bonus effect which provides a stacking increase to Critical Hit and Critical Damage when the user lands critical hits. This is especially useful for players who enjoy using slower firing weapons which cannot trigger the set bonus as efficiently. Maxing out the Executioner Trait is essential for this purpose.
