Buckshot (Also known as standard buckshot, or full-power buckshot) is a type of load for 12 gauge shotgun shells, and one of the most common. It is called "full-power" as a contrast to the lower-powered and lower-recoiling Tactical buckshot.

The above chart applies for ONE pellet, and may be multiplied by the amount of pellets that hit the target (up to 9).

How to read this?

  • Available for purchase in a gun shop or a weapon shop, in retail boxes of 10 rounds (20 P$/box)
  • Value of a single round is 2 P$
  • Recoil level of this round is 4 - Heavy
  • Propels up to 9 pellets per shot

Usage notes

Buckshot is a multiple-projectile type of ammunition. The amount of projectiles hitting the target is variable, and is also influenced by the failure threshold; lower scores mean less chances to hit, and higher scores mean higher chances to hit.

  • It must be noted that failure threshold modifiers work differently with multiple-projectile ammunition than with single-projectile ammunition. For every increased accuracy (FT-1) occurrence, add 1 to the dice score. Likewise, for every decreased accuracy (FT+1) occurrence, subtract 1 to the dice score.
    • Should the modified result ends up being 12 or greater, it counts as a critical hit of a natural 12. Likewise, if the modified result ends up being 2 or less, it counts as a critical failure of a natural 2.
