Among all damage debuffs in the game - Tactical Scan stands heads and shoulders above the rest ...Did notice in game my claymore was doing suspect amounts of damage to boss type enemies fired from cloak with TS debuff on - so I decided to test why that was happening ...
Summary
- The weapon damage bonus is applied as a HeadShot multiplier (up to 32.5% weapon damage global multiplier in case of body shots and up to 250+32.5 = 282.5% in case of headshots...By making it additive with the headshot multiplier they managed to give it very good damage boost vs body shots and not cause it to do astronomical amounts of damage in case of headshots ) EDIT - this works the same for all debuffs
- BUG: The 25% to all headshot damage perk does nothing ...
- The 40% DOT evolution for arc grenades applies to total damage - adds a lot of damage (especially to arc grenades fired from cloak on TScanned target)
- the weapon damage bonus is applied before Armor DR substraction (very beneficial vs armored foes for all squad // In other words headshot bonuses apply before armor DR)
WD - Weapon Damage % bonus
TS - Tactical Scan
TC - Tactical Cloak
HS - Headshot
SR - Sniper Rifle (% Damage bonus)
PD - Power Damage % bonus

Claymore X test Vs Silver Brute (30 DR)
(same char same setup with 7.5% Shotgun Damage from gear)
Measured Damage(7500 - 2608.5390) / 8 = 611.4326
Calculated per pellet
206 * (1 + 0.225 + 0.25 + 0.075 + 0.8) * 1.325 -30 = 611.4325
the bonus damage is applied BEFORE armor DR substraction - very beneficial
