Piercing is really overrated.
agreed, it just doesnt pierce enough stuff (mainly cars imo) for it to be useful enough to give up a mod slot
i don't like this nested quote stuff. It'll get ugly real quick.
Anyways, being able to shoot through objects like trash containers, pallets, destructable advertisements, etc is very powerful. There are hall ways and alley ways that specifically have these items in them to provide some sort of cover and piercing effectively ignores all of that.
