Certain Enemy Body Parts will apply damage multipliers to incoming damage that is inflicted on them. These special enemy body parts are specific to each enemy type, and the multipliers are applied to all damage inflicted, independent of their damage type. Targeting these body parts will also completely bypass their Shield Gating.

“It's taking longer than I calculated.”
This page is actively being worked on and may not be completely correct. Please assist in making this page accurate.
Vehicles and Archwing enemies need adding.
Below is are lists containing all enemy types and all their known special body part multipliers.
Stats apply to all variants with the same suffix unless otherwise stated (e.g. MOA includes Railgun MOA and Vapos MOA but not Fusion MOA or Terra Anti MOA).
Arca Plasmor (
Tenet), Catchmoon, and 
Fulmin in semi-auto mode are notably the only weapons to not have bonus multipliers on weakspots.
