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.

*$Max DPS = (Damage \times Burst Shot Count) \div (Ranged Cooldown (secs) + Warmup (secs) + (Burst Time (secs) (Burst Shot Count - 1)$**

Where:

OR

For example:

$Charge rifle max DPS = (15 \times 3) \div (2s + 1s + (60 \div 300RPM) \times (3 - 1)) = 13.24$

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.
