Stat Impact

What Express Shot actually gives you

Express Shot delivers 8% weapon damage, 60% bullet velocity, and 100% bullet velocity. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Express Shot

Express Shot performs strongest on Dynamo (52.5% WR across 1,567 games), Yamato (51.9% WR across 9,426 games), and Grey Talon (51.2% WR across 5,567 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.

Most Picked By

Who buys Express Shot the most
