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 Deadrig Shotgun do?

The Deadrig Shotgun deals 144 damage per shot at 50 rpm (9 per pellet across 16 pellets).

How many shots to kill with the Deadrig Shotgun?

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

Does aiming down sights tighten the Deadrig Shotgun's spread?

No - the Deadrig 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.
