Damage is a percentage of your normal damage: 100% is a normal hit; 300% is triple.
No random critical hits: every bit of critical chance becomes extra damage when you hit the weak point.
100% bullets that home in. For small enemies.
You aim down the scope: you see the enemy weak point and fire a 1000% shot that goes through. Your big hit.
A close-range scope for quick 400% shots. Less per shot, more shots.
To get it: As Railgunner, fire 30 consecutive sniper shots without missing a Weak Point (15.2% of Steam players have it).
You throw a device that blasts you and nearby enemies away. To launch yourself or push them off. Up to 2.
A field that slows enemies and their shots.
To get it: As Railgunner, deal 1,000,000 damage in one shot (10.9% of Steam players have it).

Crowbar
Each shot is one huge hit: Crowbar adds a lot.
You do 75% more damage to enemies that still have almost full health (over 90%), so your first hit lands much harder. Each extra crowbar adds another 75%.
Stacking: No cap: each crowbar adds another 75%. With two, the first hit already beats a critical hit.
Watch out: Only the hit that lands while the enemy is above 90% counts; missiles and lightning from other items do not get it. In a group, if an ally hits first, you lose it.
Kjaro's Band
Her shots always pass 400%.
When you land a very big hit (over 4 times your damage), a fire tornado also comes out. Once every 10 s. Each extra band, more damage.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: The hit itself must deal 400%: crits and Armor-Piercing Rounds do not count. It always fires with Runald's and they share the cooldown.
Runald's Band
Same, with a freeze.
When you land a very big hit (over 4 times your damage), an ice blast also hits that slows enemies a lot. Once every 10 s. Each extra band, more damage and a longer slow.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: The hit itself must deal 400%: crits and Armor-Piercing Rounds do not count. It always fires with Kjaro's and they share the cooldown.
Predatory Instincts
Weak-point hits trigger it: faster reload and shots.
Raises your critical chance a little, and each crit makes you attack faster for a few seconds. Each extra one raises the speed cap.
Stacking: Only the first gives the 5% crit; each copy raises the speed cap.
Watch out: The game's «stacks 3 times» is about the buff, not the item: you can take as many as you like.
Sticky Bomb
Supercharge counts triple for items: with 7 Sticky Bombs, one sticks on every shot.
5% of your hits stick a bomb to the enemy that explodes shortly after. Each extra bomb adds 5%.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: With full-proc attacks, one bomb averages about 9% more damage.
Unlocked by default with the Survivors of the Void expansion.
