What Is Multishot?

Title says it. :D

Multishot, I don't understand it.

[Quotle]

It's a chance for a single pull of the trigger to fire twice, spending one round to hit two times - for double the dmg.

[Wesgile]

not by chance, afaik.

multishot literally adds the amount of percentage to your shots.

+100% multishot means you would be shooting double the amount of bullets each pull of the trigger.

fractions builds up cumulatively, which means that with +20% multishot you would be shooting double once every 5 shots.

so, example with +120% multishot, you would be shooting 2x bullets each shot, and 3x once every 5 shots.

for shotguns, since it originally already fires multiple bullets, multishot will just add(multiply) to that amount each shot.

the added bullets doesn't consume additional ammo.

Time to fuse them multis!

Easy way to think of its effect is, its effectively a multiplicative +% damage mod, that takes the total damage of all your other mods, and increases it by that %.

Multishot mods on a rifle or pistol give you whatever the % chance is to fire an extra shot, though the way it works is that each shot has that much chance to deal double damage (including elemental damage and crits) rather than actually firing another bullet that could miss. With pistols you can get up to 120% chance, which means that you will always fire a second shot AND have an extra 20% chance to hit a third time, so essentially a 20% chance for triple damage.

With shotguns it's a little different, rather than having a chance to do double damage you fire X% more pellets (usually filling the screen with numbers), all with the same elemental/crit chance/crit damage effects from your other equipped mods.
