Notes[]

  • Encumber will only apply a max of 1 additional status effect per instant of time, similar to a very short cooldown.
    • Multishot and Status Chance values over 100% do not bypass this limit, but more multishot does allow more chances of an Encumber proc until one succeeds.
      • The average Encumber chance per shot can be calculated by: 1 - (1 - 24% × min(statusChance, 1)) ^ pelletCount
    • Hitting multiple targets at the same time will only allow up to one proc for only one of the affected targets per instant.
      • Explosions, Hitscan Punch Through (TwinKohmak Twin Kohmak), Beam Chains (KuvaNukor Kuva Nukor), Multibeams (Ocucor Ocucor, Vermisplicer Vermisplicer (Secondary)) and other simultaneous attacks will only proc up to once on a single target at a time.[1]
      • Projectile Multishot (Detron Detron) will only proc once per small target because the projectiles typically strike within Encumber's cooldown.
    • Delayed hits such as projectile rebounds (Cyanex Cyanex), embed delays (Kompressa Kompressa), and travel time punch-through (Catchmoon Catchmoon (Primary)) can proc Encumber multiple times per shot because their hits do not always occur at the same time.
    • Forced procs (Hystrix Hystrix) can trigger Encumber.
    • Exalted Weapons (MesaIcon272 Mesa's Regulators Regulators, TitaniaIcon272 Titania's DexPixia Dex Pixia) can not trigger Encumber.
  • Random proc is uniformly chosen from the following and is independent from the weapon's damage distribution:
