Timed Payload

Splits off 55% of the Weapon's Bodyshot damage into a Explosive Payload that detonates after a 0.6 second delay. The Payload deals 30% increased damage in PvE and staggers PvE Combatants more. The remaining Impact damage portion receives an increased Crit Multiplier to compensate for the Payload not benefitting from crits. [PvE] Total damage is increased by ~16.5% of the weapon's Bodyshot damage. On Crits, the overall increase is 10.9% for Adaptive/Precision Hand Cannons and 10.17% for Aggressive Hand Cannons. [PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.

Explosive Payload

Splits off 50% of the weapon's bodyshot damage into an Explosive Payload that detonates on impact. The Payload deals 30% increased damage in PvE and staggers PvE Combatants more. On Hand Cannons, the Payload deals 7% decreased damage in PvP. The remaining Impact damage portion receives an increased Crit Multiplier to compensate for the Payload not benefitting from crits. [PvE] Total damage is increased by 15% of the weapon's bodyshot damage. For crits, the overall increase is roughly equal to 15% divided by the Crit Multiplier. [PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.
