Overcompensator - About

The Legendary Shotgun Overcompensator is manufactured by Hyperion and comes from the Borderlands 2 Fight for Sanctuary DLC.

Overcompensator - Unique Ability

Every Overcompensator shot has a 16.7% Chance to add 2 Bullets to its magazine instead of using 1.

Hyperion
Sustained fire improves accuracy and recoil.
Note
This effectively means that, on average, the Overcompensator can fire twice as many shots as its magazine size allows. Increasing the Overcompensator's fire rate to 10 or higher has diminishing returns due to the way this effect is implemented.

Accuracy and Recoil on Hyperion Weapons

Shooting Hyperion Weapons moves them from Max Inaccuracy and high kick to Max Accuracy and no kick.
Unlike other weapons, recoil does not affect the kick of Hyperion Weapons.
Having lower Recoil achieves Max Accuracy faster.
Having higher Recoil Recovery slows the loss of accuracy after shooting stops.
