### Issue Type (Required): Crafting ### Issue Description (Required): I’ve spent over 3M dockets at Brunt’s Armory rolling for plasma gun, finally getting a stat distribution I wanted: 80 in damage, stopping power & ammo, 70 charge rate and 70 thermal resist. I took it to Hadron and empowered it a couple times, and now it’s showing 69% charge rate and 72% thermal resist, and it shows in the menu that it’s going to drop down to 68% charge rate if I continue to empower it. I bought it for that 3x80+2x70 spread distribution (couldn’t take a screenshot because Nvidia screen capture broke JUST ON TIME, unfortunately), but I still deserve to get the stat potential distribution that I was originally promised (80 dmg, 80 stopping power, 80 ammo, 70 charge rate & 70 thermal resist) back. I’ve spent way too much resource into rolling plasma, and just the one time I think I finally got a good one the game just decided “yea nope lol”. It’s been frustrating trying to find a good one, and this is just icing on the cake. I’m really not happy about this. I forgot to take a screenshot when it was still 4x80+2x70, but I can show it being displayed as 69 + 72 right now, and in hadron’s menu it shows 68+72, indicating a further drop from what it was originally supposed to be. I do not understand how a “rounding issue” can cause my near-perfectly optimized weapon to drop 2 stat points away (not even in the good direction) and I want it restored to its original state. ### Steps to Reproduce (Required): 1. Take a weapon that’s not a max power 2. Go to hadron and empower 3. Notice stat potential fluctuating 4. Get frustrated ### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional): Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them ### Reproduction Rate (Required): Constant (100%) ### Platform (Required): PC - Steam ### Player ID (Optional): FS code - 9557185861 ### Upload Supporting Evidence (Optional): ![69-72.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/4/0/407eae2100dcc8a8db2ab10e23ee5e03116ea822.jpeg) ![68-72.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/2/a/2a69c882434ae668b7c4a622d37a86e0130592a7.jpeg)
