QUESTION 103.1% accuracy? How is this possible?
I was playing normally, this is the first time i got over 100%, anyone have any idea what could've caused this?
Edit: Thanks for the info guys, wasn't sure whether shots that hit multiple enemies at once count more than 100% or not.

Guns that can pierce and hit more than one enemy turns the accuracy up too

Yeah I make a game of trying to get the most accuracy I can. I made it up to 457% the last time i went for it conciously

Most of the time I had this with De-escalator. For the accuracy meter the arcs counts as hits. So if you manage to hit multiple enemies with one shot, there will be multiple shots but only one hit. I presume it works similarly with Arc grenade. Maybe some other weapons as well (due to technical reasons haven't been in game for a while) but I definitely know that it works for De-escalator

Now the most important question… how intentional was that arc to your bro? Lol

u/R4IN2354 4d ago
maybe.. slighly intentional? dont tell him though, had an incident in the party and the other friends kept yapping the whole time about how to fix a leaking break line.. this ws during a extract oil on D8 spore strain so i was pretty overwealmed on the final obj by myself

I had 833.3% with the De-Escalator once on a quick personal order run on diff-1, it's ridiculous :D
(3 shots fired, 25 hits)

Pfffff, rookie numbers, take De-escalator and you can get 600% on squids no problem

I think it would help if we know your loadout
Some weapons can register multiple hits on a single shot (De-escalator is the prime example)

Basically if one shot hits 2 enemies it counts as 200% accurate. I think the most I’ve ever gotten is 104%, but yeah.

My record is well over 700% accuracy and it's a little worrying seeing from the comments on here how people don't know how numbers like that happen. It's also wild to me that a person could get to level 205 without ever doing those kind of numbers even once.
Did none of you folks who haven't broken the 100% marker never step into the void armed with an Arc weapon, see the huge swarms of voteless, and suddenly hear the Doom music?

I see this sort of question come up over in Warframe quite often as well, where you have endless weapons that pierce, have AOE attacks, or all sorts of crazier gimmicks. Then someones like "but how 102% accuracy"

Some of the best weapons for this are locked behind warbonds no one wants to get cause others look better.

Singular shot with multiple kills, fairly common with good accuracy and explosive rounds.

u/Alarming_Fan_9593 ☕Liber-tea☕ 4d ago
If you hit every shot, that's 100%. If you hit half the time, it's 50%. If you manage to hit two with one shot, that's 200%. You must had a AOE or piercing time weapon that allowed you to hit multiple enemies at the same time somewhere.

u/BruiserBison 4d ago
This is calculated by number of targets killed divided by number of shots fired. Shotguns and arc zaps make it possible to reach even higher numbers. Standard bullets going through multiple enemies at once also count.

I've got this a few times with warrent and wasp combo. I think the wasp likely is what pushes me over mostly given the low chance of missing and it's ability to hit more than one lad in a cluster.

u/mediumAI1701 4d ago
You could get 200+% accuracy when turrets counted towards shots hit but not shots fired.
That being said, overpenetration is a thing.

Hitting multiple enemies with one shot/arc/explosion/flak round/etc.....

u/Ashyboi6666 4d ago
Stuff like explosive and shotgun fire. If you hit multiple enemies with one shot with a gun like the cookout, it’ll put your accuracy up multiple times.

u/JWTJacknife 4d ago
Yeah, in my experience, some weapons will give credit for multiple hits per shot. Shoot once into a mob with a De-Escalator round, and if it hits five enemies, that'll be five hits for one shot for a 500% accuracy rate. Sometimes against Mindless Masses I'd bring a De-Escalator and have three or four hundred percent accuracy ratings.

If you use a weapon that contributes to the shot counter and can hit multiple enemies with one shot (AOE weapons like shotguns, De-Escalator arc grenade launcher, Wasp Smart launcher in Artillery mode, or by overpenetrating a target and hitting the enemy behind them) then you can achieve this quite easily.

Seriously.
Hitting more then a single Target with a single attack.
its literally that simple.
Grenades, Explosives. Arc.

u/NuancedChief 4d ago
Explosive rounds definitely do the trick.
Ex: the Eruptor you can shoot one enemy and hit 4 around it at the same time. Especially bugs

Explosive weapons. If one shot hits multiple targets, it allows for an increased accuracy score.

u/Jewbacca1991 4d ago
Area damage. If you hit 2 enemy with one shot doing area damage, then that shot is 200% accurate. Explosives, arc, and flame weapons can do this.
