Does anyone know how the rounding works with regards to +% clip size bonuses? I am going to guess that over half a round in the clip rounds up, but I'm not positive. For example: I have a character with a Dhan. - Base Clip size is 3
- With Heavy Lifting from Combat fitness, clip size increases to 4. 3*1.2=3.6 which I guess rounds up to 4.
- With Heavy Lifting and Clip Size from Shotguns, clip size stays at 4. 3*1.45=4.35 which seems to round down.
What surprises me a bit is that I thought I read somewhere that clip size always rounded up. I don't have that source anymore though. If it doesn't, I am going to have to consider retraining out of Clip Size since it doesn't seem I will be able to get up to 5 shots in the clip without running the Soldier profile, and that's not my bag on this character. Thanks for your time. |

Traditionally in Bioware games, I think remainders have rounded down. I'm 90% sure that this was true in ME3 - eg 5.8 shots per clip would result in only 5 shots. As you say, in MEA it seems to be rounded to the nearest whole, whether up or down.
The one caveat that comes to mind is the rebalanced field coils augmentation, which gives you +10% damage for the last 20% of your clip. On a weapon with less than 5 shots, it will still give you a boost for the final shot. Apparently this is true even for 1-shot weapons like the Widow. So that augment goes from being utter trash on large clip weapons to quite good on small clip weapons.

ProbeAway It can't be strictly rounddown though because I wouldn't get the increase from 3 rounds to 4 from Heavy Lifting if it was.
