Do ricocheted bullets from Chain Reaction get the damage boost from AMP damage?

[BlackSkillX]

Might be a good combination with Maya :)

Yes they do.

Google is your friend:
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Chain_Reaction

"Ricochets take full advantage of any gun damage boosts, so skills or items that increase bullet damage - including a user's Amplify Shield - will have the full effect on both the initial hit and the ricochet. This is notable, as it means that using Chain Reaction essentially gives you a chance to double the effectiveness of any gun damage boosts already in effect. "

The skill also has a synergy with guns with bullets that split like the pimpernel or a ricochet fibber. Each one of the child pellots has a chance of splitting again upon contact.

To have it actually chain react, you need to have two enemies that are fairly close to together. It works best when you can have 10 enemies all clumped together rather than 2 or 3 that are spread apart. So you really almost need to use converge and then maybe a singularity grenade to get the bunch tightly grouped.

I searched for it, but I searched for "Borderlands 2 amplified damage chain reaction" and I didn't found that acticle.
In general I use google because its faster than posting a question in the forum.
Bad luck this time.

Anyways, thank you ;)

You know he had a link in the post, right? And in said link, there is literally a point that says, and I'm copying it all

I used google and didn't find that article.
But I still wanted to know if amp damage affects chain reflection, so I started this thread.

2nd result on Google for the exact thing you searched for. First is a forum post saying the same.

Not for me at least.
On page 2 from google there is the wiki article

You're searching in the wrong places & would benefit from using the game's names for things. Search the wiki for this kind of stuff --- it's all there --- http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Borderlands_2 --- for example search "Chain Reaction" for the skill and also "Amplify Shield" for the shield catagory and "The Bee" for the game's best amplify shield. You'll find everything you need to know in there. And yes, amp damage is positively affected by Chain Reaction --- for a real "pop", try a Trickster class mod (+ the Bee) that gives a fire rate buff of 29 to 36% & can buff Chain Reaction, Kinetic Reflection & Life Tap by up to +13 extra skill points. Happy gaming

Thank you for the tip :)
I am already playing with the bee and the trickster Class mod tho :)
Before I wasn't sure if I should use Chain Reaction or not, but now I will !

You're welcome. I normally use a Purple OP8 Blurred Trickster with +36% fire rate and +5 CR, +4 LT & +4 KR --- great for mobbing. FYI a very useful chart that translates all the MOD prefixes is here http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Class_Mod_(Borderlands_2)#Maya
