It's possible to slot HO's in pets. I might have to try that someday with one dam/rng HO. The pet sets dont offer range.
Any concrete answers out there? Has anyone actually tried it?
range IOs can be slotted into the pet upgrades - for bots anyway - unsure about the others. Unsure if this actually helps increase the pets range, or just the range of the cast, or both though.

I'm pretty sure that's right. I'm just not willing to buy a HO to find out untill someone can confirm this.

Range enhancers only affect the distance you can summon your pets. They don't affect the pet's powers.
I've tried this before with Centrioles. It works beautifully. Bots and Mercs having sniper ranges on all their attacks is great in PvP. It also helps the Thug/Enforcer's cone attacks a bit.
I'm sure someone will say this is an exploit, and to those people I say, "I don't care."

Well I guess I'm going to have to try this on test to be sure.

I think you are hallucinating.

Have you tested for an actual increase in range? Or are you going by the in-game numbers?

I've tested with different primaries on test months ago. I never go by in-game numbers because often times it's just a display error.
Do this:
Go to the Black Market and buy 3 cheap SHO Centrioles. Second build one of your Masterminds and slot your Tier 1 pets with at least three slots. Go out and observe the range at which they attack from while fully upgraded. You can use landmarks in Cap Au Diable as measuring guides or have someone help you with it in a private arena match).
Next, dismiss your pets, slot them Centrioles into them, and then summon them again so that the enhancements start taking effect. Do the same range test that you did before and observe what has happened.
Also, if you play on Freedom, I can just show you since I still have a bunch of Dam/Range SHOs in one of my masterminds.
