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

Disclaimer

DPS assumes that every shot hits (which, in reality, is very unlikely for non-explosive weapons). DPS does not factor in other variables like accuracy or miss radius - it is a measure of how much potential damage a weapon could do.

Calculation

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

DPS = (Damage × Burst Count × Blast Radius) ÷ { [Cooldown + Warmup + (Burst Ticks × (Burst Count - 1)] ÷ 60 ticks per second }


Numbers are rounded to two decimal places for readability.
