Does anyone know how shotgun pellets carry damage in Hunt? Is each pellet worth the weapon's damage or is the displayed damage sum of all pellets? Is each pellets hit zone calculated independently? Have devs ever released pellet count per shotgun?

Not much missing data out there with the addition of damage multiple tables provided on the stream. Thanks to anyone who can fill this last gap.

Shotguns fire a number of pellets, each with a certain amount of damage. As they travel, they lose more and more power until they strike a target. Each pellet is calculated separately with the damage varying bases on body part, but all pellets striking at the same time are combined to one damage event with the sum of their damage added up together.

Thanks for being active on Reddit. Appreciate the response if you have time.

The 140dmg is an expected average of total damage accumulated by all pellets hitting at the mentioned 10m distance. So you could be lucky to score a bit more or less in this case, but it gives you a rough estimation of the punch at that range.
