Notes

  • A weapon's muzzle flash is affected: the higher the skill, the larger the flash.
  • The Grenade Launcher and the Explosive Sentry are affected by Explosives Bonus rather than Damage Bonus, despite what the loadout screen may indicate.
  • The Desert Eagle is not affected by any skill that increases damage done, including Damage Bonus.
