The Talon Rounds are an Ammo Utility Item in XCOM 2.

• Only one Ammo item can be equipped onto a soldier at a time.

• Only Primary and Secondary (Pistols and Autopistols) firearms receive the ammo effect.

• Only successful shots benefit from the ammo effect (missed shots with Stock weapon upgrade do not apply the debuffs or status effects and the damage is not increased).

• The Munitions Experts Resistance Order can complete this item instantly from the Experimental Ammo pool.

• The Convoy Ambush Resistance Rumor can randomly reward this item from the Experimental Ammo pool (alongside a random Experimental Grenade).

Tips

• Best used while flanking to gain an additional +40% critical chance.

• Highly effective with Rangers due to ease of flanking and high innate critical damage bonus of Shotguns.

• Highly effective with Reapers if the Tactical Rigging perk is learned. Vektor Rifles have an abnormally high critical damage bonus that can more than double the weapon's damage on a critical with Talon Rounds equipped.
