Direct detection experiments are gaining in mass reach. Here we show that the inclusion of dark Compton scattering, which has typically been neglected in absorption searches, has a substantial impact on the reach and discovery potential of direct detection experiments at high bosonic cold dark matter masses. We demonstrate this for relic dark photons and axion-like particles: we improve expected reach across materials, and further use results from SuperCDMS, EDELWEISS and GERDA to place enhanced limits on dark matter parameter space. We outline the implications for detector design and analysis.
