Melee builds that focus on critical strikes can deal insane amounts of damage, especially once your Combo Multiplier starts stacking higher during fights.
Blood Rush is a popular melee mod that boosts these builds even further, increasing your Critical Chance based on your current Combo Multiplier.
This makes it possible to reach red crit levels on the right weapons, letting you shred enemies in groups or melt tougher targets while maintaining your combo.
How To Get Blood Rush?
Blood Rush can be obtained from Necralisk Bounties on Deimos, particularly the level 30–40 bounties, where it has solid drop chances in multiple stages.
It can also drop from Lua Spy missions such as Pavlov, giving players another farming option if they prefer Spy runs instead of open-world bounties.
There is also a small chance to get it from The Circuit in Duviri, though this is less consistent compared to running Deimos bounties directly.
Blood Rush Mod Effects
Blood Rush increases your melee weapon’s Critical Chance based on your Combo Multiplier, meaning the higher your combo stacks, the higher your crit rate becomes.
At max rank, it grants 40% critical chance per combo tier, reaching up to 440% bonus at the standard 12× Combo Multiplier, letting weapons hit insanely hard when stacked.
Without any combo built up, this mod does nothing, so it heavily rewards aggressive play and hitting enemies consistently to build and maintain your multiplier.
Abilities like Naramon’s Way of the Naramon passive and mods such as Body Count, Drifting Contact, or Gladiator Rush help keep your combo alive longer, ensuring Blood Rush stays active for extended fights.
Since you can have multiple combo-extending mods and passives working together, Blood Rush becomes even easier to stack, making your crit rate climb faster and stay high for longer.
This makes Blood Rush especially strong on weapons with decent base critical chance, letting them reach extreme crit levels in high-intensity missions where staying in the fight matters most.

Verdict
Blood Rush is one of the strongest melee mods for crit-focused builds, turning already solid weapons into monsters once the Combo Multiplier climbs.
It rewards staying aggressive and maintaining your combo, making it especially strong in missions with lots of enemies where stacks are easy to build.
If your melee weapon has a good base Critical Chance, this mod is almost always worth slotting, especially for high-level missions where extra crit damage makes a big difference.
