Overview
Weighted Shots is a Tier 3 Weapon item that provides a massive boost to Weapon Damage and defensive resistances at the cost of projectile speed and stamina recovery.

When to Buy
- Purchase when facing teams with heavy crowd control (stuns, slows, silences) to reduce the duration of these effects.
- Strong on heroes who fight at point-blank range where the penalty to Bullet Velocity is negligible.
- Effective when you need a hybrid of offensive power and survivability against Spirit-based damage.
- Avoid on heroes who rely on long-range poke or high mobility, as the penalties can severely hinder those playstyles.
Synergies
- Abrams: The high Weapon Damage and resistances perfectly complement his close-range, tanky brawler playstyle, and his shotgun weapon is unaffected by the velocity penalty at close quarters.
- Mo & Krill: Benefits significantly from the added durability and damage for sustained close-range fights, making them harder to lock down and kill.
