Doubles the [[critical hit|crit chance]] of pistols (adding +1 to the 1d20 roll if the pistol is not [[masterwork]], and adding +3 to the 1d20 roll, to a total of 4, if the pistol is masterwork).
This skill reduces the 1d20 roll needed to achieve a critical hit by 1. With no other modifiers, this enables scoring a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, for a total critical hit chance of 10%.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Pistol_WeakSpotter}} When combined with [[masterwork]], this results in a total critical hit chance of 15%{{Code Reference|class=ModMasterwork}}{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=GetCriticalThresholdEvent}}


In actuality, this skill slightly ''more than doubles'' the crit chance when combined with the [[Masterwork]] mod.{{Code Reference|class=MissileWeapon|method=MissileHit|comment=When combined with Masterwork, WeakSpotter actually slightly more than doubles the crit chance due to the way the calculation is coded in this method.}}
