Another incredibly easy-to-trigger bug similar to the Deadeye one, where you're very likely to encounter it if you use it for any meaningful amount of time.

How-to:
1. Build stacks by killing enemies with the Hot Slugger out; weirdly any kill counts unless it's a Jakobs ricochet
2. Swap to another weapon (incl. heavy ordnance) and wait for the stacks to decay, alternatively summon your vehicle once

The stacks stay in effect until you either let any future stacks decay with the Hot Slugger out or you unequip it. For example, if you get 1 stack and it decays with a different weapon out, getting another stack after that will make 2 stacks (+60% damage) even though the HUD shows just the one. It's an easy bug to keep up as long as you check for decaying stacks occasionally.

This gun became my primary damage dealer outside of spamming underbarrels on UVH. Even if the bug didn't exist, it's still an incredibly satisfying weapon to use.
