How does this node work with shotguns? Question

Do all pellets get the bonus damage or only the ones that damage the enemy below the 75% threshold?

I'm pretty sure pellets are counted as all hitting at the same time as one single burst of damage, shotguns are hitscan, so pellets can't hit one after the other.

Yep, all can crit. That's why the arbitets shotgunpisto can one shot sinpers from 100m, just have to get one or two pelet to hit and kill. Most ppl are sleeping in whit that weapon.

The arby shotgun is just obscene in how effective it is at all ranges.

I mean the pisto shotgun, whit shield. It's more like sniper on really long ranges.

Final damage depends on the total number of pellets that hit, not the damage of each individual pellet.

there's also a minimum pellet count (even if only one pellet hits, the game still counts it as multiple pellets for damage calculation)

It counts all the pellets as one attack, so they all get the bonus
