Is the Cernos Prime supposed to do double damage in vertical spread?

[_Azeizel]

Is this normal or is something else doing this?

I believe that vertical arrows have bonus damage on headshots. The difference could just be charged vs. uncharged shots. A charged shot has about double the damage.

• It could also rely on procs.

I would suggest testing it again. Use something like a Butcher and hit two different enemies. I have previously had unexpected things happen with the AI disabled as well.

It's happening in game, different enemies etc and both those shots were body shots.

maybe its from hitting the head of the one behind him?

and also charged shots with the cernos prime do exactly double damage, you might not have fully charged the horizontal spread?
