How do I calculate Multishot?

[Rhundis]

I'll keep it simple, with the recent changes to Riven Mods my Daikyu now has a 197.4% multishot modifier. How can I tell the percentages to fire additional shots? Thanks.

For the general works-for-all-weapons case:

1. Take the number of bullets or pellets the weapon fires without mods.
2. Multiply by [1 + multishot].
3. Every whole number is a guaranteed bullet or pellet. The remaining fraction is a chance to fire another bullet or pellet.

 

Examples:

Dread + Split Chamber

1. Base number of arrows is 1.
2. Split Chamber has +90% multishot, so you multiply by [1 + 0.9] = 1.9.
3. This results in [1 x 1.9] = 1.9.
   • You will fire 1 guaranteed arrow and have a 90% chance to fire a second arrow.
   • Alternatively, you have a 90% chance to fire 2 arrows and a 10% chance to fire 1 arrow.

Akbronco Prime + Barrel Diffusion + Lethal Torrent

1. Base number of pellets is 7.
2. Barrel Diffusion has +120% multishot. Lethal Torrent has +60% multishot. You multiply by [1 + 1.2 + 0.6] = 2.8.
3. This results in [7 x 2.8] = 19.6.
   • You will fire 19 guaranteed pellets and have a 60% chance to fire a twentieth pellet.
   • Alternatively, you have a 60% chance to fire 20 pellets and a 40% chance to fire 19 pellets.

1 extra shot is always fired... second extra has a 97.4% chance.

you have 100% chance to fire a second shot, and 97.4% chance to fire a third.

[Rekkou]

It means you will always fire at least 2 arrows while having 97.4 chance to fire the third arrow

[SmashMeat]

As I know it, anything above 100% is the chance to fire a third bullet. 100% multishot means a guaranteed second bullet. 197.4% means you have a 97.4% chance for a third bullet. 130.3% would mean 30.3% chance for a third bullet. Etc.

With every weapon besides shotguns and melee (which can't multishot anyways,) every 100% multishot is a guaranteed extra round fired. This means your Daikyu, with every shot released, is guaranteed to fire two arrows and has a 97.4% chance to fire three. Now, I'm unaware if that massive mutishot modifier is strictly your Riven mod, or the result of stacking it with Split Chamber, so... yeah.

Wows, that multishot rate is... impressive.

Well it's total, not just on one mod.
