Notes[edit]

  • Prior to the removal of this historical trait, two tooltips appeared above Sneak Attack - both the traited and untraited tooltip versions.
  • An animation showed bullets bouncing towards out of range enemies, these enemies were not however hit and this was purely cosmetic effect.
  • Bullets can never hit the same target twice.
  • Each of the 8 bullets shot by Unload have a 50% chance to bounce, meaning this skill can potentially hit up to 32 times if all of the bullets bounce the maximum of 3 times.
  • Bullets apply skill effects with each bounce, such as bleeding from Vital Shot and daze from Head Shot.
  • Each bounce has a separate chance to critically hit and trigger on-critical-hit effects.
  • Shadow Shot gains 300 bonus range, not the stated 150.
