Status Chance And Multishot

[ZeroSoulEater]

I notice that if you add a Multishot mod on a weapon its status chance goes up. Is this a bug or intended? I like it how the status chance is high when you add the two event mod and Multishot but the percent changes from 75% to 93% so i dont know if Multishot increases it.

Multishot increases it, because you shoot two bullets at once - double the chance of at least one bullet causing Status.

Yes. For example, the Tysis with a Cicero mod on it.

For one shot: .5*1.6 = .8

But once you add Multishot:

Barrel Diffusion + Lethal Torrent = 180% multishot

The Arsenal screen randomly procs multishot.

80% chance to proc 3 shots:

Chance for no proc on all three shots = .2^3 = .008

Chance for at least one proc = 1-0.008 = .992= 99.2%

This matches the arsenal number.

About a 1/5 of the time, you'll see it procing only 2 shots

Chance for at least one proc = 1 - .2^2 = .96 = 96%

This also matches the rarely shown 2 shot arsenal number.
