Gangland Hit, Explained
Gangland Hit marks enemies you damage, causing them to take +20% amplified damage from all sources. When playing in a group, each ally who also marks the same target adds an additional +5% amplified damage per ally. In a full 4-player group, a single marked target can receive up to +35% amplified damage, making Underboss one of the strongest group utility weapons in the game.
Build Tips
Underboss shines brightest in group play where Gangland Hit's stacking amplified damage benefits the entire team. Pair it with DPS builds that prioritize mark application and target switching. The amplified damage works well with any build that focuses on single-target elimination. For full setups see tested Division 2 builds.
