Special Attacks with special Ammo

[UnLimiTeD]

Does special Ammo work with special attacks? Or crits?
I mean, actually be affected by it. Say, Opportunist with Shock rounds.

[Fenix]

You mean same bullet apply stun and bigger damage due Opportunist? I don't think so.

[UnLimiTeD]

No, I mean, will the shock also gain the extra damage if the target is already hindered in some way.

[Fenix]

I guess it should.

[UnLimiTeD]

In this case I agree.
But I wonder what would happen with, say, explosive bullets fired in a burst with a smartgun (if that combo did exist), or snipe with a toxic projectile. Essentially, I wonder how that works in the code.
Eh, s'pose I could try.

[Styg]

No, why would they?

They work the same as any other similar (on hit: inflicts x-y damage) effect, like electroshock on melee weapons and such. A side effect that hits after the main attack.

Except those that inflict the percentage of original damage (or in some other way interact with it), such as JHP, they are indirectly affected by special attacks.

[UnLimiTeD]

Ah, true. Well, that makes sense.
I assume they don't count as "weapon" attacks then, if they have their own damage?
