Notes

• Backstab only loses effect when you enter combat. Using grenades or engaging enemies from afar will not trigger combat, allowing you to maintain the benefit from Backstab.

Tips

• Even with the starting pistol, the damage multipliers from the Targetting Laser's guaranteed critical and Backstab's full charge can cause thousands of points of damage on a headshot. This further improves if the target has been marked by your spotter drone.
• The Shield gain on headshots is based on the number of headshots on kill, as opposed to a kill with a headshot. Weapons that fire multiple projectiles in a single shot (such as shotguns) can procc the shield gain multiple times on a single enemy, assuming more than one projectile hits the head on the killing shot.
