Official mediaThe short verdict
The official store copy says every bullet is simulated and lets players see its individual hit chance. That is not the same as removing randomness. The game rolls each projectile against the displayed chance, while the resulting bullet still travels through the battlefield.
What “no hidden RNG” means in practice
The useful distinction is transparency. Warhounds shows the chance attached to each bullet in a burst rather than hiding one combined weapon roll. You can inspect the risk before committing action points, but a percentage below 100% remains probabilistic.
Official burst example
The official feature description illustrates a three-round burst with descending chances:
| Projectile | Displayed chance | Practical reading |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet 1 | 100% | Guaranteed by the displayed shooting roll |
| Bullet 2 | 90% | A high-probability roll, not a guarantee |
| Bullet 3 | 80% | A lower independent projectile chance |
RNG and true ballistics are separate systems
The hit-chance roll answers whether the projectile follows an aimed hit solution. Ballistics then gives the bullet a path through the scene. A miss can continue past the intended target and hit another object or unit, including a friendly. This is why positioning behind a target is part of shot evaluation.
How to use this information
- Read every projectile percentage before choosing a burst.
- Check what sits behind the target, not only the target itself.
- Spend action points on a better angle when later bullets fall sharply in accuracy.
- Treat overwatch cones and friendly-fire lanes as geometry problems as well as probability problems.
