When i add this mod to my weapon the damage does not seem to be going up. Tested multiple times in the simulacrum. Looking as to why it would not be applying properly.
Edit: I would just like to thank everyone for taking the time to help. I even asked trade chat in game but people were just trying to buy it for 200p.
The extra crit damage and status chance from hammer shot probably help with procing slashes with the weapons base stat distribution. I would mostly treat that as your option slot. Other options would be Shred (weapon feel + slight increase in damage/shot if you’re able to hit multiple enemies with the same shot), a fire rate mod like Vigilante Ferver (weapon feel + set bonus), Bane mod (largest increase in damage but somewhat annoying to use and not all enemies have a Bane mods that works on them).
I always feel like shred isn’t worth it till primed shred as the fire rate isn’t huge and you don’t line up enemies as often as you think you do
