Difference between revisions of "Damage per Second"

Revision as of 23:41, 30 September 2016

Damage per second (a.k.a. DPS for short), is a measure of how much damage a given weapon does per second.

These DPS formulas don't account for a pawn's shooting skills.

It's just a calculation of raw, total output damage (on a single target).

The DPS of weapons on the weapons page have been calculated using the following formula:

This is the maximum potential damage, ignoring accuracy.

$Max DPS = (Damage \times Burst Count) \div { [Cooldown + Warmup + (Burst Ticks \times (Burst Count - 1))] \div 60 ticks per second }$

This is the realistic damage output of just the weapon itself with accuracy factored in. Doesn't account for colonist skill.

$Real DPS = Max DPS \times Average Accuracy$

Numbers are rounded to two decimal places for readability.
