Summary
When using a shotgun with the damage amplifier powerup active, it only multiplies the damage until the maximum damage the shotgun can do by default. For example if a Rare Pump Shotgun has a max headshot damage of 175, the powerup will not go past this number, regardless of the multiplier amount.
Steps to Reproduce
Get a shotgun
Shoot a sentry/guard/player in the head to find out the max damage
Apply a damage amplifier to the player
Shoot a sentry/guard/player and see that its capped at the damage you saw previously when shooting it the first time
Expected Result
It is expected that the receiver of the shot should take a lot more damage, for example a 4x multiplier with a rare pump shotgun should deal 700 damage, rather than be capped at the usual 175.
Observed Result
Shooting a sentry in the head with a rare pump shotgun deals 175 damage regardless of the multiplier
Platform(s)
