So, I was doing some research on the meaning of the weapon stat “collateral” and found that if you google the question, around 15 articles from different gaming websites, and many posts from people are found and they all confidently claim that it means something else. The answers range from weapon suppression, stagger, to follow through or penetration (not to be confused with armor penetration).
I found that kind of funny, but I still don’t know what it does. Does it change depending on the particular weapon or is it the same regardless of the weapon type? That might explain some of the confusion. I’m sure I’ll have it figured out before a glossary is introduced, but it would be nice for future players I’m sure.
If you press tab on the weapon information screen, it opens the attack breakdown. You can click each attack icon, and it provides a description.
A glossary would be a great addition though. Few gameplay mechanics are explained, so there’s a lot of guesswork involved in what things mean and explanations online may only be partially correct.
