Overview[ | ]

  • The first shot in a mag deals massive damage.
  • Community perk by 94Connor949.
  • Unlocked at Rank 44 for players, who have The Last Stand DLC.
  • The bonus damage is 25% x (magazine size / ammo cost) x the weapon's base damage
    • This essentially makes it an inverted version of TSYGAN's passive - it uses the same formula and therefore extra damage is same, but on the first shot instead.
    • The bonus stacks additively, similarly to TSYGAN's passive.
    • If used without other damage-changing perks, without applying character-related damage bonuses or hitting weakspots, the perk technically adds 25% more damage. However, if adding any of the mentioned factors, the impact of this perk changes, since the extra damage stacks only additively - the bonus wouldn't change any of those and wouldn't be changed by them either. Also if not emptying the clips, but using just a part of the ammo instead of emptying the clips, this applies the perk more frequently, thus making its impact higher.


Notes & tactics[ | ]

  • Highly effective on weapons with charged shots, such as Ballista.
  • Shotgun is NOT affected by this even primary fire.
  • On secondly fire of REX, first missile is not affected if charged 2 or more. Also, secondly fire of Circle Saw is not affected.
  • Since you don't need to empty the magazine before getting the best shot, this perk is easier to apply than TSYGAN's passive ability. You can switch weapons more frequently without first emptying the magazine in order to utilise the bonus more frequently.
  • Alone by itself, this perk finds use mainly in the Campaign & Easy modes, since in Survival it tends to lose impact over time, due to the increasing health of the enemies.
    • However, if used along with the Concussion rounds perk for 2500+ damage weakspot hits, it still can find some more usage.
