  * **`Damage Reduction per Piercing`**: How much damage decreases with each target pierced.
  * **`Range Damage Drop`**: Reduction in damage based on range to target.
  * **`Ignore Aim Down Sights Socket`**: Whether ADS is bypassed, ideal for high recoil weapons.
* **Pattern**
  * **General**
    * **`Pattern`**: The arrangement of hitscans.
    * **`Variance`**: Random spread applied to hitscans.
    * **`Circular Angle Offset`**: Adjusts the spread in a circular pattern.
  * **Fixed**
