ModRefractive

Refractive: This item has a chance to refract light-based attacks.

The refractive mod can be applied on most worn equipment as well as shields. Modded items have a set chance to refract light; all light based projectiles that are refracted by this mod bounce back towards the direction they were fired from with a random variance of -90° to +90° degrees.

The refract chance depends on what type of equipment the mod is applied to:[1]

Type Worn On Refract Chance
Armor Body 40%
Armor Back 40%
Armor Arm 20%
Armor All other body parts 10%
Shield Hand 30%
Shield Arm 10%

If a refractive item is also magnetized, it will have the refraction chance appropriate to its new Floating Nearby slot (i.e. 10%), not the chance associated with its original slot.

Items that already refract light are not eligible for this mod.[1] This includes the following items:

Item
kaleidocera cape
kaleidocera krakows
kaleidocera muffs
mirrorshades
rainboweave cloak
