Double/Triple headshot damage with Splitshot

[BedlessSleeper]

The new item Splitshot seems to have a bugged interaction with Abrams shotgun, where when close up, using Splitshot can double or triple damage with multiple headshot procs which seems unintended since the item mentions shots can only hit once. This is especially strong on Abrams due to his shoulder charge which enables him to get into that spacing very easily and explode people.

No Splitshot damage: 44
With Splitshot damage: ~126

This doesn't always occur, but it happens enough that its consistent.

It also doesn't trigger headshots on some weapons like Grey Talons arrows for some reason.




I will also like to briefly mention that this item seems pretty lackluster unless you are extremely ahead and just want to spray and pray. The bonus fire rate is really negible, maybe modify the passive benefit a bit?

This also proc much more commonly with Armor-Piercing Rounds, where the proc damage instead scales up from 4-5x instead of 2-3x.

On body shot (and with both Split Shot and APR):
~233 dmg with SS
~46 dmg without SS

Also, the odd thing is that you need to buy APR as the last item. In the clip, once I bought APR first then SS second, it didn't proc anymore.
