Fire rate can heavily influence how pistols perform, especially when faster shots allow you to apply damage, crits, or status effects more consistently in fights.
Anemic Agility pushes this idea by significantly increasing fire rate while slightly lowering damage, shifting pistols toward faster output instead of heavier shots.
This makes it a strong option for builds that rely on repeated hits, where landing more shots quickly matters more than maximizing per-shot damage.
How To Get Anemic Agility?
Anemic Agility is acquired through Orokin Vault runs on Deimos, where players must equip Dragon Keys to unlock hidden vault rooms during missions.
Each vault rewards one corrupted mod from a shared drop pool, meaning every run gives a random result with no guaranteed outcome.
Since there is no vendor or fixed source, farming requires repeating vault runs until the mod eventually appears.
Anemic Agility Effects
Anemic Agility greatly increases pistol fire rate, allowing weapons to shoot much faster and generate more hit instances over short and extended engagements.
This benefits builds that rely on rapid hits, especially when stacking status effects or triggering critical hits more often through increased shot frequency.
The damage reduction lowers per-shot output, but the increased number of shots helps compensate by improving total damage dealt over time.
This tradeoff becomes less noticeable when combined with strong damage mods, where base damage is already heavily boosted.
Because of the faster firing speed, it fits well in setups that prioritize consistent output rather than slower, higher-damage shots.

Verdict
Anemic Agility is a strong choice for pistol builds that benefit from faster firing and repeated hit application during combat.
It works well with status or crit-focused setups, where more shots directly improve consistency and overall damage performance.
The damage penalty is small and easy to offset, making it a solid option when increased fire rate leads to better results.
