If it's that simple, what is the end result to proc at least once? :D

You can find the info you're looking for in the multishot subparagraph of the status page; more specifically here:


 * Status Probability is the probability to proc at least once in a single round. This value is the listed status chance shown in the Arsenal.
 * Multishot Multipliers are the multishot bonuses granted to the player through mods; grants an additional 120% multishot which would increase a weapon's base number of pellets from 10 to . In this case, the Multishot Multiplier is (1 + 1.20).

For the aforementioned example of 50% status at +200% multishot:

So, you'd have a 87.5% to proc once. Now, for the more practical example of +180% multishot:

This matches the chance of 85.6% that can be seen in the arsenal.

All of this works exactly the same for all shotguns, too, when talking about 'base' status chance. They changed how 'modded' status chance is calculated for 'hit-scan' shotguns to be consistent with "normal" weapons when they re-balanced secondary shotguns (e.g. 0.4 * 1.6 = 64%).

Sadly, there are still a few outliers with projectile-based ones (namely Cernos Prime, Drakgoon, Zarr in barrage mode, and (Mara) Detron) where you'd have to go from the status chance per pellet to apply status mods which results in a lower overall chance (e.g. 15.6% instead of 16%).
