Unstable Ammunition is an ammo type.
While loaded, unstable ammunition increases the radius of the projectiles fired by the gun significantly allowing the shooter to hit targets easier as well as achieve headshots more often. In exchange, it reduces the gun's headshot multiplier to 1.2x meaning it will no longer do double the damage on a headshot; only 20% more.
Unstable projectiles have their size increased by 233%, from a radius of 3cm to a radius of 10cm.
It is important to note that Unstable Ammunition does not increase the size of the target's hitbox, but the size of the bullets. This will need to be factored in when taking cover into account, as the shooter may hit their own or their target's cover instead of the target themselves.

History[]
March 30, 2022 Update (Arsenal Update)
- Now available on the Nyx VX31, Skorpios, SVA-88, Ursa, and Zenith VX-5.
- Unstable Ammunition projectiles are no longer invisible.
- Unstable Ammunition no longer penalizes cone of fire.
- Dev Note: Unstable Ammunition dropped the cone of fire penalty, as the more recent headshot multiplier reduction was sufficient to balance out the power of the attachment.
- Unstable Ammunition headshot multiplier has been reduced from 2x to 1.2x
- Unstable Ammunition projectile collision size has been scaled back a bit.
- Unstable Ammunition now uses different particle effects.
Dev Note: We'll be reviewing the state of all three of the new SMGs after these changes go Live, to determine whether further adjustments are needed.
