I'm in the process of making a gunner set to keep things fresh, and atm i have a shadow driver and 4* catalyzer..which i find far more fun (though whether superior is debatable) for my shadow guns. Anyway, my plan was to get 2x 5* damage trinkets along with it, but someone was telling me the other day that the biohazard charge doesn't benefit from any damage modifiers? can anyone verify if this is true with a quick damage test perhaps? If so it pretty much kills my plans as i was really banking on amping up those charges..those trinkets would be near useless on a biohazard if this turns out to be true, especially with the umbra gaining pretty substantially from them

Also if anyone has any damage numbers for some of the more popular guns that'd be handy too, the wiki is somewhat lacking when it comes to gun stats (callahan, 5* alchemers, antigua line etc)

cheers!

It scales with damage bonuses

It scales with damage bonuses ofc atm with 5*+ 4* dmg trinket
bio does 80-90 per bullet and 50% ish expo dmg for charge so it's like 120-135 ('most' of the time mob get poisoned so it gets 10% dmg bonus)
callahan 115 per bullet
magma 88 per shot + fire proc ticks for 50+ ish

regalya thats wrong what your

regalya thats wrong what your talking - or i missunderstanded you.

Biohazard deals X damage (depends on strata, at T28 for me (dmg bonus vh) 220 per bullet. An explosion will deal about 300. But the normal bullet releasing the explosion is not wasted, it deals additional regular 220 damage -> 520 to target with orb around it and 300 to all other.

Also the Biohazards explosion will explode other orbs on other mobs, let you be able to blow up an entire army. I've made a video about this, here you go, i hope you enjoy the show (with sound!):

So..i'm still not clear, do

So..i'm still not clear, do the damage trinkets (trueshot i believe) increase the charge damage? I know regalya says it does, but im getting a lot of conflicting information - also people were saying you can detonate each others charges, it isn't decreased if you were poisoned yourself etc..so it'd make sense with those mechanics if +damage didnt work either (coding issue i guess)

It'd be a darn shame if so, but if not i'll definatly upgrade to 5* (just got an umbra, real good but not as fun)

The damage is definitly

The damage is definitly increased. I would never deal 220 and 300 per explosion if i had not 2x dmg tinker. Would be confusing ... The gun that shots the charge on a mob will deal its damage, unless ifsomone else shots a normal shot on it. The normal shot deals again damage but just as much as it would do to anything else.

I think the Alchemer is just faster at killing, but the Biohazard is much more fun and I have to say, the only reason why I play a game actually IS FUN. The Alchemer is not massive better, so I often take my Bio for a run, because it has style and it's just awesome <3 and it has a better crow control + poison.

Don't judge us Devilites for this.

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a sniper when I'm using Callahan.
Hehehe. . . SNIPER ON THE ROOFTOP!!!!

If you don't use autoaim with

If you don't use autoaim with Callahan, then you actually can snipe mendors and silkwings that are pretty close to target XY. I recommend to not Autoaim and put it on a key for wolvers and devilites ^^ btw. i added you ingame :) whats your worldclocktime?
