Express Shot bugged with Paradox Carbine & Damage Output In General - ~115% instead of 75% Weapon Damage

At base level this works, however at max level it's broken. Max Level with it I do 306 damage, without it 141 (all headshots) - this means it's applying more damage than it should, presumably because it is applying it on each bullet separately rather than the whole amount? I'm guessing it's somehow similar to the mercurial magnum + splitshot + wraith 3 bugged interaction.

Also if you use your 3 on Paradox with Express Shot it will also output a miniscule amount of weapon damage which is further multiplied if you combine splitshot with it.

Notes from steventheeven3:
Based on the patch notes, Carbine should get +75% damage from Express shot

It gets the full +150% bonus

Can be tested like this:
  • Level 1 paradox, only item being Express shot gets +20% weapon damage from the Shop bonus, Final damage: ~201
  • Level 1 paradox, only items being Glass cannon and Weighted shots, total bonus weapon damage +168%, Final damage: ~200
Conclusion: Express shot gives +150% weapon damage to Paradox Carbine

I actually did some testing on this the other day

It just straight up doesn't work as intended

At this point it's pretty known and that's why the Paradox meta is going full carbine with express shot
