Steps to Reproduce

  1. Grab an item that has a damage cap (most shotguns do)
  2. Get a damage amplifier powerup that increases your damage (the more you increase, the easier you can see it)
  3. Shoot a player and check the damage for it, you’ll see that the damage is capped compared to its actual stats

Expected Result

The item’s damage will do the exact amount of damage it says it will with the damage amplifier powerup activated

Observed Result

The item’s damage is capped at whatever cap it has no matter the damage amplifier amount.

PS5, PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch

Additional Notes
