"Lucky" Shot The Perfect Shot
"Lucky" always seems to hit harder than regular weapons, getting a lucky shot on a weak point, or striking an artery, or hitting armour just right to pierce clean through armour. The Shots from "Lucky" also seem more accurate than they should be, striking small targets with surprising ease.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Step into the spotlight, where every shot you take is a dramatic scene waiting to unfold.
Down and down the performers go, into the depths of hell where the act is staged. What will become of the narrative, he wonders.

Efficiency
“Would you shut up already?”
The light in the room seems to reflect and gather around the barrel of the gun briefly before the shot, firing off after the bullet. Archie, being absolutely unwilling to deal with making noise, fires silent and passes that silence to his targets.
Archie’s assistant being kidnapped by Russian Hackers is the biggest load of bullshit he’s seen so far- he swears it’s not emotional investment in Alex, who is dutiful, efficient, and makes muffins, that made the ability manifest in that first shot at the man with a shit-eating grin holding a gun to Alex’s head.

- Reminder: Bonus Damage stacks with Weapon Damage, but does not stack with any other Bonus Damage. Instead, the highest Bonus Damage is used.
