Special Note: Non rounded, Fortified Level 1 Helmet -> Level 3/4 Helmet damages are 9.18/8.7975/8.60625 respectively. They all round to 9 dmg/pellet, 99 dmg total.

Note: Fortified head shot damages may vary ±11. This is due to uncertainty over whether Fortified reduces non rounded or rounded damage numbers. This difference is negligible on non pellet based weapons.

Trivia

• The binary code on the Pal 9000 skin means "Kill Pathfinder".
• The Peacekeeper's internal codename is "energy_shotgun" and it shoots blue projectiles like energy weapons. This is due to the Peacekeeper's shells actually being batteries. Despite this, it's not compatible with Energy Ammo for gameplay reasons.
• Gibraltar has a "spinning" draw animation similar to reloading or chambering the next shot with a single hand. This same animation is seen when using a zip line, Octane's Stim or any other action that may use a Legend's left arm.
  • The spinning draw animation is also a possible reference to 1991 science fiction film Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
