Spread increases and the D4RT

[Amara the Barbarian]

So I applied a few multishot oils to a D4RT because of its high damage in an attempt to make another energy cell shotgun that uses less ammo and deals more damage, as is one of my favorite things to do with rifles in the game since it's more efficient for ammo usage than trying to damage up a shotgun to match the damage per pellet. Anywho the D4RT still just seems to leave a single hole despite having 5.5 spread, is this intended? It seems to still be working as a sniper with 2250dmg (450x5); don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, it's just not what I expected I guess.

seems that d4rt really don't have any spread, but get d4rt is TOO difficult, so just accept it as a reward

in fact in previous versions augusta was shooting the same projectile a d4rt, now this fixed, but it was realy funny

My understanding is that all energy weapons have 0 spread, regardless of any modifications, positive or negative.

Badly worded on my part. I meant that the Spread can't be modified for the weapon from its base. So not 0 but just that it can't be changed from the base amount on the weapon. Typing while tired is dangerous. Haha.

i used dead center oil to catacoil and turned it into doom's plasmagun - superaccurate

Hmm. That's interesting. Didn't think anything affected energy weapons' spread. I'll have to play around with it! Cheers!

Combine dead center with Boomstick oil and you've got only 0.85 spread and 3 projectiles in total, and since energy weapons have no recoil it's basically insane damage with minimal downsides (both boomstick and dead center add a lot of +recoil but it doesn't matter on energy) . There's also an oil that give a lot of +dmg% at the cost of greatly increased recoil but a gain, doesn't matter on Catacoil so it becomes one of the best close/mid range weapons and still great at "longer" ranges.
