Scattershot Support Gem Not working correctly with Basic Bolt

Scattershot add +2 projectile to spell like Fragmentation Rounds without spending +2 ammunition

Scattershot add +2 projectile to explosive Grenade without spending +2 ammunition


Scattershot add +2 projectile to Basic Shot AND consumme the same ammount of ammuniton

don't know if intended since Basic Shot come with the crossbow, but feel clearly odd.

For me this is a weird one too. All single shot ammo types do fire one ammo +2 extra, and the multi shot ammo mags so far do shoot correctly. The default one does it too but only on its last shot. On theory it should have 21 shots per mag, but it shoots only 9 projectiles so far.
If the 21 shots is way too much, because balancing and such, maybe reduce the default 7 to 4 or 5.
This new mechanic in particular is my favourite so far and I dont want it to be lost in the void. Handle with care please.

(copied my reply from other thread to raise awareness) Also, with the basic crossbow shot and scattershot, you can run at full speed while shooting if you tap to shoot, without holding the mouse button down continually. (I hate to admit it, but it seems too powerful)

100% agreed. I was using an armour piercing rounds + high velocity rounds setup, but when I realized scattershot is essentially a 2.4x multiplier (0.8*3) without using more ammo, I've had the most success using essentially ONLY high velocity rounds which feels kinda weird.

I also noticed the tap fire movement speed, while using AP rounds. With chain you can break the armor of a whole group really quickly without having to slow yourself down.
