Are red archon shards give additive weapon buffs?

[(XBOX)Lord ChibiVR]

Will the bonus of secondary crit chance be additive to my weapon? 

I'm asking with the intention of making a high crit multiplier kuva nukor build, and getting a bunch of "free" cc would be very nice.

It's multiplicative sadly, i initially also had in mind raising balefire critical chance and after trying it out, 5% went to a staggering 6.3%, aka not worth it.

I believe they are Multiplicative on the weapon's base status. So in case of the Kuva Nukor each non-Tau red Archon shard you add will give you +1.75% Crit Chance.

+8.75% Crit Chance with 5 Non-Tau ( 15,75%, 28,84% with Primed Pistol Gambit )

+13,12% Crit Chance with 5 Tau  ( 20,12%, 33,21% with Primed Pistol Gambit )
