Notes

• Does little benefit to Archguns with infinite punch through such as the  Fluctus and the  Cortege, save for the bonus damage.

Tips

• Highly recommended on Archguns that use high-explosive rounds such as the  Grattler ( Kuva) or very large rounds such as the  Corvas ( Prime) so they can maximize their crowd control potential by hitting as many enemies as possible.
• The  Larkspur and  Larkspur Prime's overall DPS also improves with Sabot Rounds, as the mod allows the gun's energy beam to chain to more enemies similar to how the  Atomos or  Tenet Cycron benefit from punch-through mods.

Trivia

• A sabot is the term for padding used around bullets or artillery shells of smaller caliber to the gun barrel they are going to be loaded into, ensuring they still get the maximum potential kinetic energy once they exit the muzzle.
• Curiously, the mod's image shows a Vauban wielding a Gravimag-loaded  Fluctus, which is an Archgun that already has infinite punch-through.
• Sabot Rounds is the first and currently only Archgun mod that provides punch-through.
