DPS Testing (All results will vary based on weopon level and perks)

I am thinking of testing the different nano-effects only in terms of damage. It might be possible with some nano-effects to reach a greater level of damage. Voton blaster rifle paired with a burst magazine could be the best gun in game.

Make two categories. One with no critical hits, and the other with 100% critical hits. This will allow for people to see which weapon types rely on player skill, and which ones are more casual friendly.

When you think about it. You really can't give many weapons such as pistols and snipers a fair chance if you don't include criticals. Also you can take multiple target damage into consideration. I love using detonators and often find myself getting x1.3-x2.1 damage using deadly cascade when hitting many people at once. I am sure people will eventually create an in depth DPS chart in the future that includes everything from perks to mods.

I have added the crit tab. I also have now color coded the good stats for easy reading.
The problem with all explosives is they are not very reliable. The best one which is any that explode into mini exploding bombs. Its random where they land. I could add more explosives but its tricky. They also don't do a lot of damage.
The ones I have shown on the spread sheet are the ones that explode into smaller explosions.

I though the LMG had the highest DPS. Especially the SAW spitting out 400+ damage for 80+ bullets.

Yeah I didn't realize it until I did my spread sheet. most my clan figured it out by about rank 600. what you do use 2 SAWS then use the ammo regen perk.
I once got two million damage on an ark fall. I did more damage than all the other people put together. I will say it was quite and I got there early.

i always knew lmg's were top dog it's why i always use one. no single weapon i have ever used caps itself out xp wise faster than an lmg. weapon xp is based on the damage per shot and getting 416 dmg per shot on my saw's is a lot of very quick weapon xp. faster than shotguns, ar's, pistols, anything. yes i've used flares and tac assault ar's and sawed off shotguns and even detonators before the nerf.

Im not to sure if they will nerf the saw or other weapons. I think its fine really its more for skilled players who can burst fire it. I mean the bloom is ridicules with a burst magazine its like riding a wild horse. It goes where it pleases.

I think your chart is the best I have seen out there yet. Thank you for doing it.

Your spread sheet needs some work for sure... make sure that you are using base weapons and NOTE the EGO of each.

Also Critical hits are important so make sure to include that.

Also not if it is auto or single... IS see Burst and single but add auto. With burst add the number of busts.

Thank you again for the start.
