Can a missed shot in Xcom2 still execute?
Posted On: July 5, 2023

If you have a weapon which has both a Repeater and a Stock attached to it. Is there any chance that a missed shot will trigger the Repeater?.


My assumption is that it will not as the actual shot did not hit, and the Repeater requires a hit in order to trigger, but it's a guess.


Reference: Weapon upgrades.


Question from user Neon1024 at stackexchange.


Answer:

After some investigation, it seems Repeater only works on successful shots but if you have Stock then that damage can trigger Repeater bonus and execute the enemy.
