OVERBLAST
+1 pellet per round missing from the magazine.
Update 644 — 2026-05-14: Overblast now adds one pellet per FOUR missing rounds instead of one pellet per missing round. OVERBLAST is a Unique gun-slot joker in Far Far West, costing 5 slots of the weapon's 14-slot Joker budget. +1 pellet per round missing from the magazine. Bound to Shotgun. Unlocked by reach level 55 (shotgun). Cannot be stacked.
Overblast now adds one pellet per FOUR missing rounds instead of one pellet per missing round.
- Trigger rate:+1 pellet per 1 round missing
- Behaviour at 6/8 magazine:+2 bonus pellets (≈+25% pellets)
- Behaviour at empty magazine:+8 bonus pellets (≈+100% pellets)
- Trigger rate:+1 pellet per 4 rounds missing
- Behaviour at 6/8 magazine:0 bonus pellets until the 4th miss
- Behaviour at empty magazine:+2 bonus pellets (≈+25% pellets)
Math:Across a full magazine the average pellet bonus drops from roughly +50% to +12.5%. Sustained shotgun DPS still gains about +22% over a no-Overblast build (per KeenGamer's post-patch math), but the burst spike of an empty mag is gone.
Verdict:Overblast remains a reasonable Shotgun pick for Solo Nightmare runs, but it is no longer mandatory. Builds that paired it with reload-skip Jokers (Stacked Lever-style) take a sharper hit because the empty-mag exploit window is closed.
