Critical Hit

Critical Hits are attacks that, by chance, do greater more damage and imparts a short side effect. The indicator for the effect is a ring of tweak icons.

"Chance of a critical hit is 1% + 5% if it's an ambush (they can't see you when you fire) + anything from items and augs + bonuses from your skills, all divided by 1 + the targets critical hit resistance." -JeffL
