The three Impact Force columns are the minimum Dmg % a crafted weapon needs to remove one shot-to-kill: base = vs standard armor, max crafted = the Impact Force to reach the same breakpoint against a fully-crafted target, and premium = the same against the best sets in that tier, so you can read across the row. Most armor gains +10% damage mitigation at max craft quality, but roughly half the sets in each tier reach +15% instead - at Heavy that is ADP, ADP-mk4, Balor HCH, Defiance, Manticore and Overlord, and every Heavy Utility piece is premium. Where the weapon already one-shots standard armor, the crafted values are the Impact Force to keep that one-shot. Clothing and undersuits can't be crafted; flight suits can be, but have no craftable stats that matter here. STK = shots to kill. Computed at 0 m against the 100 HP health pool.

04Frequently askedQuick answers

How much damage does the BR-2 Shotgun do?

The BR-2 Shotgun deals 88 damage per shot at 90 rpm (11 per pellet across 8 pellets).

How many shots to kill with the BR-2 Shotgun?

1 torso shot against an unarmored target, and 2 shots against Medium armor (against the shared 100 HP health pool).

What is the BR-2 Shotgun's time to kill (TTK)?

About 0.667 seconds to drop a Medium-armored torso.

Does aiming down sights tighten the BR-2 Shotgun's spread?

No - the BR-2 Shotgun's pellet cone is fixed in the game data, so aiming down sights does not tighten the pattern. I confirmed it in the in-game footage on this page.
