Tenacious Bond is a Companion mod that reduces companion recovery on headshot kills. In addition, a Critical Damage multiplier is granted to the owner's weapons if the companion's critical chance is above 50%.

Acquisition[]
The mod can be bought from The Business for
20,000 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.
- Players may also consider
Hunter Synergy for all Beast-type companions, especially Kubrows, Predasites, and the Helminth Charger, to reach 50%. The player's primary weapon must have a critical chance of at least 133%.
