Express Shot is a Tier 3 Weapon Item that can be purchased from the Shop for Souls3,200. Its component, High-Velocity Rounds, makes up Souls800 of the cost.

Secondary Fire Bonus

The following weapons/abilities use the "Secondary Fire Weapon damage":

Burst weapons

For weapons where single click launches a series of bullets Express Shot fires a full extra burst of bullets. The second burst is launched immediately with the first burst, thus the total duration of attack is almost the same.

The bonus damage is applied in the following way:

  • 1st burst: only the first bullet gets 125% bonus damage. The rest use normal damage.
  • 2nd burst: every bullet gets 125% bonus damage.

Visual representation of the resulting burst:

Damage per hero

The bonus damage of the proc depends on each hero's Bullet Damage, on how many bullets or pellets a single attack fires, and on whether the weapon is a burst weapon. Attack damage is the total damage of the doubled attack, bonus damage is the portion added on top of a regular attack, and DPS increase expresses that bonus as a share of the hero's DPS.

Alternative fire modes are listed separately, as they use the lower "Secondary Fire Weapon damage" bonus of 40%.
