Effects[]
Taking ranks of this perk grants +5% bonus damage with all weapons as well as a chance to make enemies explode in a gory mess. Higher ranks increase the damage amount by +5% each, up to 15% as well as grant a chance to make multiple enemies explode from killing one if they're close together.

Notes[]
Bloody Mess is the only perk which universally increases damage. All other forms of damage improvement are limited to either one class of weapons or to specific conditions.
Bugs[]
The fourth rank of the perk has an odd oversight: if the player dismembers an enemy or corpse when there are no other applicable targets nearby, it will target the player. While this doesn't dismember or kill the player, it will make them exclaim in pain as if they had been shot.
