Notes[]

  • This skill has a minimum of 4 shots to be triggered and is not affected by class mods.
  • The bonus incendiary damage is indicated by flame trails around the projectile.
  • This skill doesn't prevent a COV weapon from generating heat or Iron Bear weapons from draining fuel when fired, but the incendiary effect still works, and said COV weapons will still have a free shot.
  • This skill tracks shots only by actual firing. A gun that uses 2 ammo per shot will still need to fire the same number of times for a free bullet. A gun that fires in bursts will use the free bullet for the burst, not just add the free one on top. However, most guns that fire multiple projectiles at once, like shotguns, will fire all projectiles for free.
    • As the game will keep track between weapons, Moze can use any weapon as usual before switching to the intended weapon for the free shot, as long as the weapon intended for the free shot still has ammo for it to be fired.
    • This allows the skill to be exploited on rocket launchers such as the Hive and R.Y.N.A.H. to negate their heavy ammo consumption. It also works well with the alt-fire of Vladof weapons that have slow ammo regeneration. When combined with skills that regenrate ammo reliably, such as Forge, Moze can effectively output an endless number of free shots for heavy weapons that deliver expansive devastation.
      • In the case of Hive, which fires smaller rockets from the main projectile, the bonus projectiles will also carry the bonus incendiary damage effect. The same can be applied with multi-projectile weapons such as shotguns, which will give every pellet incendiary bonus damage.
  • Atlas tracker munitions do not benefit from the incendiary damage bonus.
  • The skill may be bugged for weapons with certain special projectiles as it will never add incendiary damage. The free shot effect works normally.
