I read this on the pistoleer forum

All beeds of different skills stack. So a master marksman could make you bleed in every pool, and a dabbler could make you bleed in every pool twice. And if they picked up commando and CM, they could also light you on fire and poison j00. I wonder if it's been done...

/mindshot2;

/headshot2;

/headshot3;

/headshot2;

Has always worked great for me at 64 meters. The stacking will happen and if your marco repeats then your stack could issue more damage on the target causing a more deadly mind bleed followed by more headshots.

yes they stack. all bleeds that have more than one level stack. you can MS 1&2 healthshot 1&2 bleedingshot actionshot1&2 plus slap on fire bleeds and they all stack at the same time. stacking isnt something just rifle does. it works for all skills that have multiple bleeds.

WayneInAustin did a very good write up on this giving the exact sequence of events in a thread called Mindshot 101, if I recall the title correctly. It is worth reading. However, basically what it said is that the two shots will stack. Thus, if you hit with Mindshot1 and do 800 damage then a few seconds latter hit with 1100 points of damage for Mindshot2, you will see the target bleed 800 followed shortly by 1100 as the bleed timers tick down. So yes, the the effects do stack.

However, just for clarification, Mindshot1 will not stack with Mindshot1 nor Mindshot2 stack with Mindshot2. If you hit with Mindshot1 then follow up with a second Mindshot1, what will happen is that the higher of the two hits will be the damage used, but only one of them will be used. That is, if you hit with a Mindshot1 that does 500, then followup with a Mindshot1 that does 800, the Mindshot1 damage used for the bleed will be 800, not 500. On the other hand, if you shoot with Mindshot1 and hit with 800, then followup with a second Mindshot1 that does 500, the 800 will stick and the 500 will be ignored.

However, Mindshot1 will stack with Mindshot2, as it will with any bleed shots to other pools. Note, however, the hits to the other pools will affect only those pools. So I can hit with a Mindshot1 and Mindshot2 and then switch to pistol and hit it with Healthshot1, and there will be three bleeds. One to the Health pool and two to the mind pool.
