      what about the Shock mod "Mag-2-Zap" ? Obviously it shocks, but being that this is a mod for the gun, does that mean it applies the effect even outside TTD?

      • Found something odd : just tested in TTD Execution vs Blind on Marauders. I would assume Execute would cause more damage than Blind, but it was not the case. Blind killed them with 2700 dmg, while Execute did "only" 2000. Maybe it's because headshots are always the best option against humans. Execute is around the waist for them.
