FYI: many of the advanced skills do not seem to be functioning since the release of Heavy Metal DLC. I've noticed Called Shot Mastery doesn't seem to work. The percentage breakdowns appear the same as pre-Heavy Metal, but actual damage is far more widely distributed -- a precise shot with an 89% chance to hit a leg will typically see roughly half or fewer of the weapons actually hit the target location.

Was a Marauder in the enemy lance? The Marauder's -10% dmg will reduce 4 dmg LRMs to 3 and persists through breaching shot.

So far, I've only encountered a Marauder once. I'd have to reload an old save to check, but it may have been this instance. Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware of that ability of the Marauder.
