Bounce

Certain Items make projectiles Bounce, and some Ranged Weapons have innate Bounces.

When a weapon with bounces hits an enemy, the projectile continues in a new direction towards a random enemy. If a weapon has 3 bounces, it will hit a total of 4 times.

Bounces have unlimited range and can hit targets all over the map. Bouncing is a powerful way to both increase the damage output of your weapon, but also allowing the weapon to deal with larger numbers of enemies.

Projectiles have a default damage falloff of 50% when bouncing, unless the weapon have bouncing by default such as the Slingshot or the projectiles spawned by Lightning Shiv. This means the damage that each target takes is halved for every bounce. So if the first takes 20, the next will take 10, and then 5. Weapons with innate bonucing have a damage falloff of 0%, dealing full damage on every hit.

If a projectile has both Bounce and Piercing, the Bounce occurs first.

Bouncing projectiles can explode, crit, and life steal, on every bounce and pierce.

Once a projectile Bounces, it will no longer inflict knockback. Bouncing projectiles will not target trees, but can still kill them if they hit them.
