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%.

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%.

Hotfix 34.0.1 (2023-10-18) Fixed Clients seeing two buffs in the HUD for Tenacious Bond if Khora’s Venari and Companion both had it equipped (UI only issue).
