Legendary Effects + Shotugns

[Rahza]

Wondering if legendary effects like Explosive, Elemental, Incendiary, etc. that appear on shotguns or other weapons which fire multiple projectiles (e.g. One Inch Punch) have a chance to proc per *pellet/bullet* or per *pull of the trigger*?

Considering changing my Explosive Breach to use Slug Rounds, but I'm hoping that won't tank the chance for the explosion to go off because it'd only be firing a single projectile instead of multiple. I know it worked on a per pellet basis in Fallout 4, but I'm not sure if that is the case this time around too or not.

idk if mythbusters have solved this yet

I think in Fallout 76 they "solved" this issue. They nerfed junkies, bloodied, AA, furious whatever + explosive effect shotguns into the ground. At some point all these weapon did good were crippling enemies.

I recorded a video a long time ago.

But it wasn't nerfed when i recorded it, but this is how it basicly was, after it was nerfed that the explosive shotguns only crippled enemies very well. I got an explosive tesla rifle later that i turned into an explosive tesla shotgun and with that thing dmg was still damn awesome. Yeah the "Legacy" weapons are great in that game. Haven't touched since 2 years or something.

So yeah BGS now know how to do their math how much dmg etc. the weapons should do. So you won't lose any dmg if you use slugs. If you got doubt just activate the floating dmg numbers record a video if you have to and play it in slowmotion. I mean it's not like you could just test it.

Don't know about every effect, but at least Explosive and Poison are definitely per shot proc, not per pellet (e.g my Explosive Grendel gets way more procs than Explosive Coachman)
