Acquisition[]
The mod can be bought from The Business for 20,000 Standing after reaching Rank 3 - Doer with Solaris United.

Notes[]
Despite the mod's description reading "over 50%", the buff will still be applied when the companion's crit chance is at 50%. In other words, the companion's crit chance needs to be ≥ 50%.
The only Robotic Weapons that can satisfy the critical chance requirements without Riven Mods are the  Vulcax and the  Vulklok with  Point Strike.
Does not affect Amp damage.
Does not stack when used on a companion and  Venari.
Tips[]
 Harrow gets the most benefit from this mod, as his headshot-focused gameplay allows him to reliably trigger this mod's recovery reduction, and  Covenant adds a flat critical chance bonus to all allies in Affinity Range, including companions, triggering the critical damage bonus for the duration of the ability as a result.
A Rank 4  Bite will upgrade the critical chance of all Kavat and Vulpaphyla companions (including  Venari) to exactly 50%, satisfying the requirement for this mod while also saving mod capacity and Endo.
