What Is Multishot?

[Zilacon]

I need a clear definition on this, i thought this was just for shotguns and it increased the amount of pellets sent from the shotgun every shot. Can someone explain how this would effect a rifle or pistol?

It makes your shot hit several times.

It makes your shot hit several times.

So how much do i need for it to be effective? 100% would make it 2 times right? So having 40% wouldnt help any would it?

The extra % adds up to 100 after several shots. So if you had a 25% multishot mod on a Braton, you'd shoot one bullet three times, and on the fourth shot, you shoot two, with the left over being pooled into the next 100%.

Does it work on sniperton ?

[TheRealTuna]

Multishot works on all weapons.

Thanks for clearing this up :D

[Sealgaire]

As an additional note, on shotguns it works by increasing the number of pellets on every shot.

[RavenRonien]

quick question to make sure, i have two pistol mods for about 76% multishot each, if i used it on a bronco is it classified as a shotgun even though it uses pistol ammo and mods?

[Sealgaire]

Yea, multishots work on the Bronco the same way as shotguns.

[ColdSpyder]

Multi-shot = % chance that any one bullet you fire will strike the enemy an additional time, basically.

Not sure if it goes over 100% to grant triple-hits or anything.

[TheRealTuna]

Multishot doesn't represent the chance of a bullet striking an enemy an additional time, but firing additional bullets altogether. The additional bullets fired are also affected by spread, which means the just made distinction is important.

Multishot doesn't currently have a cap, so stack it to the ceiling as high as you can.

[Arlayn]

Would suggest not using multi shot on anything that isnt a shotgun though. Waste of ammo on good guns.

[TheRealTuna]

Waste of ammo? @_@ Additional bullets fired from multishot mods don't consume ammo..,

[Sealgaire]

Yea, that's one of the reasons it's so ridiculous. It's like an attack rate mod that doesn't increase ammo consumption and has twice the percentage cap at 100%, plus some other perks.

MS is very rare though. I once had one for a pistol. i sold it D: i rarely used the pistol and when i had MS on it it didnt seem to make a difference (due to me not using it often lol.) so i sold it.. worst mistake ever. 2 weeks later still no MS mod. but 2 shotgun 4.9 puncture mods though... Due to their rarity i say they dont need a nerf. Maybe a cap at 100% or 125% but Nuh-uh nothing else

Proof that I did something to &!$$ some deity off in a previous life:

Any other weapon. ANY weapon. Even the goddamn burston I'd take.

Ive got a 92 burston. I gave up leveling it.

That is, in fact, exactly the nerf they need. Right now, there is no reason to use anything except Multishot mods (and maybe a puncture mod depending on your weap), because Multishots function as damage, rate of fire, clip size, and max ammo mods in one package. There needs to be a cap that limits how much multishot you can get, or a nerf to the values of multishot mods in general. Yes, they are rare...but they are completely game breaking once acquired.

[Archade]

I wouldn't say game breaking since you kind of need them for the higher level stuff. You couldnt just load a gun up with damage mods and expect it to be very effective at killing level 50 stuff.

[Zilacon]

Does puncture just allow your bullets to pass through enemies?

[Labcat]

And do damage on the way through!

Easily best mod in the game atm, pretty much having 70% mutlishot is like having 70% damage.

And then each extra bullet scales with damage/crit chance/crit damage/fire rate and everything else.

lol balance

The fact that it's not worth using anything else if you have them should tell you something. As it is, they don't just allow you kill high level enemies, but mow them down almost instantly. Wouldn't it be more interesting if there was a wide range of viable choices for mods in the endgame?

This. I have a few critical damage and crit rate mods, and think to myself: "Oh cool! Maybe i'll be able to do something cool with these!"...and then I realize I have multishot mods, so why bother with something so completely inferior.
