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

Disclaimer

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).

Calculation

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

Maximum DPS

This is the maximum potential damage, ignoring accuracy.

Max DPS = (Damage × Burst Shot Count) ÷ (Ranged Cooldown (secs) + Warmup (secs) + (Burst Time (secs) * (Burst Shot Count - 1)

Where:

Burst Time (secs) = 60 ÷ Fire Rate (RPM)
OR
Burst Time (secs) = Burst Ticks (Ticks) ÷ 60


Charge Rifle Example:

Max DPS = (15 × 3) ÷ (2 + 1 + ((3600 ÷ 300) ÷ 60) * (3 - 1)) = 13.24


Real DPS

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 × Average Accuracy

Numbers are rounded to two decimal places for readability.
