Notes

• When the buff times out, one stack is lost and the buff duration resets.
• Headshot bonus stacks with Target Acquired for sniper rifles to give an additional 90% to the headshot multiplier (2.0x becomes 2.9x damage).

Tips

• Can be used on the Arca Plasmor/Tenet Arca Plasmor to give them a 1.3x headshot multiplier, as they normally have a 1.0x multiplier to headshots.
