Rapido corren los carros cargados.
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
The faster you move, the more gun & ordnance damage scales, a run-and-gun mobility class MOD exclusive to Rafa. While moving, a damage bonus is applied, and that bonus is amplified by movement speed (it increases further while sprinting, and another tier while in Overdrive). Since the exclusive stat also raises movement speed itself, it is the core of a build that gets stronger the more you keep moving and shooting.
🧩 Source of the red text Spanish proverb “Rápido corren los carros cargados (Loaded carts run fast)”. The name “Overdriver (excessively driven one)” matches the behavior of this MOD where damage scales with speed, and the image of “running fast even while heavily armored”. It is not derived from a specific work but a citation of an existing common expression (the exact original verification is (unverified)).
What kind of class MOD? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Rafa (Exo Soldier lineage) exclusive Legendary class MOD
- Theme is movement speed linked damage increase (run-and-gun)
- While moving, Gun Damage +15% / ordnance damage +15%
- This bonus amplifies the faster the movement speed
- While sprinting about ×1.53, while in Overdrive ×1.2 further applies
- Exclusive stat +20% Move Speed (movement speed increase) = raise the base of damage bonus yourself
- Fits a mobility build that keeps moving and shooting
Unique Effects (Mechanics)
The exclusive stat
+N%is a level-dependent reference value (2026-08-06 addition) The+N%below originates from Lootlemon / MentalMars. In-game, the exclusive stat values change with level (only the stat type is fixed, not the numbers).
- Measured: duration & damage types are Lv45 = +41% / Lv47 = +43%. Other MODs / other VH have the same values if same Lv (not dependent on individual roll or prefix) = provisional formula
value% = Lv − 4- With this formula, the Web’s
+45%is written as a fixed value equivalent to Lv49- ⚠️ Whether numbers from other categories such as
+23%/+60%follow this formula is (unverified) (CD speed types may be Lv-independent with +23% at Lv45/47).
Overdriver: While moving ordnance & Gun Damage +15% (scaled with movement speed). While sprinting about ×1.53 / while in Overdrive ×1.2. Exclusive stat +20% Move Speed.
- In-game: ordnance & Gun Damage increase according to movement speed. Bonus amplifies while in Overdrive
- Web (Lootlemon): Rafa gains +15% Gun Damage and +15% Ordnance Damage while walking. This bonus scales with his current movement speed: Damage Bonus = 15% × (1 + Move Speed Bonuses). While Sprinting this Bonus roughly increases by ×1.53 and while Overdrive is active by ×1.2. Rafa’s Overdriver Class mod always comes with the Stat: +20% Move Speed
- Exclusive stat +20% Move Speed (movement speed increase)
- ※Skill bonuses (+N) and associated stats vary per individual (= selection point).
- Weakness: the benefit is movement-dependent = a stand‑still shooting style makes the bonus hard to apply

Build Synergy
- Core of mobility (run-and-gun) builds: the faster the movement speed, the more gun & ordnance damage scales
- Directly linked to movement speed increase: in addition to the exclusive +20% Move Speed, the more you stack movement speed skills/equipment, the more the damage bonus amplifies
- Synergy with Overdrive: while in Overdrive an additional ×1.2 applies = good compatibility with Overdrive‑sustaining builds
- ※The granted target skills vary per individual (= selection point).
