Buckshot has a main trait that single-projectile ammunition don't have: it is a '''multiple-projectile''' type of ammunition. It can be treated as both an advantage and a weakness:

Buckshot (Also known as Buck) is a projectile type for 12 gauge and .410 bore shotgun shells. Buckshot shells contain pellets of lead 00 buckshot (pronounced double-aught).

Mazeworld overview

Usage notes

Buckshot is a multiple-projectile type of ammunition, meaning that if the shot fired is a hit, this ammunition type is capable of inflicting multiple hits. Buckshot has the following effects:

  • FT-1
  • Shell contains multiple projectiles:
    • 12 gauge version: 9 projectiles ; On a successful hit, 1d9 projectiles may hit the target.
    • .410 bore version: 5 projectiles ; On a successful hit, 1d5 projectiles may hit the target.
