Damage - This is how much health damage a bullet does

Pen Value - A value used to determine how well a bullet penetrates armor and how much durability damage it does to armor, the higher the better.

Armor Damage % - A modifier used in calculating durability damage, the higher the better.

Frag. Chance - The chance a bullet will fragment, splitting into pieces on hit and essentially dealing 50% extra damage.

*Note that fragmentation chance is currently bugged, and chances will be lower than their chance implies, and any ammo with less than 20 pen value will be completely unable to fragment.

A more detailed explaination on how these values affect damage and armor penetration can be found here:

Armor Effectiveness vs.

This is just a guideline and does not reflect ammo's aboslute effectiveness against armor

Frag. Chance*

Eff. Dist (meters)

Max HS Dist

8.5mm Buckshot "Magnum"

6.5mm Buckshot "Express"

8 Darts, the armor damage is pretty high per dart and with 8 total darts, it destroys armor very quickly

Because it has less than 20 pen, even though it has a 100% fragment chance, it can't fragment

^ This is true of all ammo under 20 pen

Shell With .50 BMG (Tracer)
