-% Reload speed enchantment stack with equipment?

[XEternalXDreamsX]

Does the Sharpshooter's Garb (Gunnery: -20% Reload Speed) and Acina's Tricorn (Shootist: -20% Reload Speed) stack with other? Or does one of the enchantments become suppressed?

Stackedy stack. Multiplicative though. So it's *not* 20% +20% = 40%.

Thanks, Boeroer! Appreciate the help.

Sharpshooter's only works for arquebusses, arbalests and x-bows though. Acina's for firearms? So they only overlap for arquebusses I think?

Also wasn't Acina's bonus a little less?

 

Edit:Acina's works for all, but provides 10% reduction nowadays.

I think with Arquebus that the two items would compliment the build. It just seems that the two items plus gunner talent might have too harsh of diminishing returns but if I can get it down with the Chanter phrase as well, I could get the reload time cut more than half with 18+ Dexterity. Hmm..

 

So instead of 6.8 seconds, I could possibly get it to 3.5 or less with DOC breastplate and the four reductions.

I've never understood this: why does the "gunnery" talent not work on guns?

[Boeroer]

Gun is not the same as firearm. "Gun" comes from "gonne" which is a heavy crossbow. Only later the term gun was mostly used for firearms and cannons. So using the term "gunnery" to describe a technique to reload reloading two handed ranged weapons is not that weird if you consider at what "in game" time Deadfire takes place. I guess...

 

Same as "Gunner" from the Ranger's tree works with crossbows and firearms alike.

From Middle English gunne, gonne, from Lady Gunilda, a huge crossbow with a powerful shot, with the second part of the term being of Old Norse origin.

I win.
