Shotgun Parts Guide

Shotguns are made out of 6 main visible parts.

Other parts include the element, the material, weapon balance, and the weapon type definition.

Accessories

There are 9 non-unique accessories, including a “no accessory” part with no model.

All accessories have set prefixes associated with them based on manufacturer, which, assuming they don’t get overwritten, are a simple way to tell which one exactly a weapon has.

Barrels

Bodies

There are 20 non-unique bodies, one for each rarity-manufacturer combination. All bodies of the same rarity share the same stats.

Rarity	Mag Size	Weapon Damage	Weapon Spread
Common	-	-	-
Uncommon	×1.15	×1.24	÷1.15
Rare	×1.25	×1.48	÷1.25
Very Rare	×1.35	×1.72	÷1.35

Grips

Sights

Stocks

There are 5 non-unique stocks.

Elements

The element parts have no model, but instead add lights over the weapon in their relevant colours. There are six non-unique element parts, one for each element, and one for no element. None of them give any stat bonuses, good or bad.

Materials

The material parts also have no model, instead defining the actual textures applied on top of all the other models.

There are 29 non-unique material parts. Like with bodies, there’s one for each rarity-manufacturer combination. In Tina DLC, each manufacturer gets an additional gemstone material, and in TPS, Hyperion has an additional “Old Hyperion” material per rarity.

Most materials provide no stat bonuses. The exceptions are listed below.

Weapon Balances

The Weapon Balance defines what parts a certain weapon can have. Balances themselves do not affect stats, but are they very important for the actual generation of weapons.

Weapon Type Definitions

Like the name might suggest, the definition essentially defines all the unique properties of each weapon type. There is one definition per manufacturer.

Definitions are also very important if you’re trying to calculate exact stats.

To start with, they define the base values used by all stats stored on the weapon.
