A weapon with the "1.5x Damage" effect has a chance to deal a 150% of the usual damage with every hit.
The chance will be checked with every successful hit.
Note: This is cumulative with the "2x Damage" and "3x Damage"
Sample: If a mech had 1.5x Damage, 2x Damage and 3x Damage, it may deal:
1.5x Damage,
3x Damage (cumulative 1.5x and 2x)
4.5 Damage (cumulative 1.5x and 3x)
6x Damage (cumulative 2x and 3x)
or even 9x Damage when all multipliers proceed.
