Section Density is a Plexus Mod that increases the critical damage of Railjack turrets, giving them up to +50% crit damage at maximum rank when actively manned by a crew member.
This works best on Railjacks with high-crit turrets or builds focused on boosting crit chance, letting your manned turrets deal significantly more damage during combat.
Railjacks capable of sustaining turret fire while keeping the crew protected benefit most from Section Density, as each critical hit becomes far more impactful against enemy waves and crewships.

Section Density Effects
Section Density increases the critical damage of Railjack turrets, with the bonus scaling based on the mod’s rank, reaching +50% at maximum rank.
The bonus only applies when turrets are actively manned by a crew member, so crew positioning and management are key to maximizing damage in combat.
At higher ranks, Section Density significantly boosts turret damage, letting crits hit harder and increasing overall damage against waves of enemies and armored crewships.
When paired with crit chance‑boosting mods, Section Density amplifies the impact of every critical hit, making turrets more effective and your firepower more consistent.
Combined with other damage-focused Plexus Mods, Section Density enhances Railjack offensive capability, improving efficiency and letting your crew handle enemies more easily.
Section Density Ranks
Rank | Critical Damage | Capacity |
0 | +8.3% | 10 |
| 1 | +16.7% | 11 |
2 | +25% | 12 |
| 3 | +33.3% | 13 |
4 | +41.7% | 14 |
| 5 | +50% | 15 |
Verdict
Section Density is a strong choice for builds that rely on turret damage, turning each critical hit into a major burst and letting you shred high-priority targets more efficiently.
Its scaling bonus rewards investing in higher ranks, giving manned turrets a meaningful edge in sustained battles and allowing your crew to tackle heavily armored enemies with greater ease.
Paired with other damage-focused mods, Section Density boosts turret output, helping your Railjack maintain pressure and clear enemy waves faster.
