    I mean, I tried it on a Revenant which of course doesn't have a high damage per hit to begin with, but it really seems like the bouncing bullets deliver less damage before rebounding from enemies' bodies.

    Is it just a wrong perception? Can someone confirm if the Ricochet mod does (or doesn't) affect a weapon damage output?

    Thanx in advance.

    it doesn't do less damage it does effect the guns accuracy and it also reduces the damage depending on how many times the bullets ricochet. i stopped using it because of how badly it effects accuracy. although it may seem the shots are hitting in reality you might be getting 3 to 5 bullets to hit every 20 shots. its really stupid.

I have to say, for the way I play, most of the gun mods that change bullets or actions stink....I pretty much now only use things that either boost damage or so other bonus to my Ryder, but pretty much never one that changes much of gun behavior.  I have been pretty disappointed with every mod I have tried for them....Classic heat sink, grenade, ricochet and a few others.....
