Weapon DPS Charts (UPDATED for 1.06)

Yeah. It is frankly utterly mind blowing that it is even possible to get it this level of wrong. I mean HOW?!?! They have all these figures without needing to experiment or calculate. It is incompetence of staggering proportions.

Thank you Salmon.

I've been trying to tell people about the Hesh for some time now but nobody would listen to me.. not even my friends. Granted, the accuracy is shit.. but on a Vanguard, at point blank range, it has produced for me. ROF is such an important factor in TTK.. but some folks just don't get it.

Basically.. this chart of yours confirms a lot of my suspicions, except about the Valiant. I'll have to revisit this.

..and whoever didn't know the Revenant was good is a dumb dumb. When you're low on pistol amps for your Hurricane.. this is the gun you reach for.

I agree, I mentioned a couple of times myself that the Hesh isn't that much worse than Piranha. Yeah the accuracy sucks, but so does the Piranha's.

I'm disappointed by the Black Widow performance though. Sure it has a low rate of fire, and a really slooowww reload speed, but still... I suspected that taking it over the Inferno wasn't necessarily a better choice...

Yeah yeah Vanquisher beats all but it's boring to use the same gun everyone else uses (though Isharay is quite popular too!)

Aim for the neck and watch the magic happen.



Told y'all.

Can we also compare BW and Vanquisher in a 3 second burst duration?

Reason for that is that for my liking, BW ussualy works out better because it just has that much enough extra damage to finish off a mook or middle tier enemy, where Vanquisher would sometimes leave them at 10-20% and would require a third shot or strong amps. That is, if we compare both guns at lvl 1, since it was my luck to get BW before the Vanq and my Vanq is still lvl 3.

Of course, a level X Vanq vs lvl I BW, Vanq is obviously better and easier to get in real world scenario, but let's say if you straight out compare them at the same level, just for that 2-3 shot duration to kill a normal sized enemy (which is majority of the MEA enemy lineup), without any doubt Vanq will always have higher sustained dps, but for me in practice it's easier to kill something with a 2 shot BW than having to aim for 3 headshots on a Vanq. There is also the question how many shots can you squeeze in during the 2 second tactical cloak duration, can you do 3, or more?

I bump fire that little bitch...usually in 20-30% bursts

Charts are nice, but this whole dps thing goes down in the toilet when half of the ar rounds are missing or because shotguns/talon etc. doesnt hit because enemy is not at point blank range. In the current state of the game only snipers can really deliver their expected dps.

I think it goes without saying that whenever you're utilizing numerical data, you must understand what the numbers mean and what kind of limitations they establish for the information that can be drawn from them. 

You have the Phalanx listed twice, one with its actual stats and one with the Predator stats.

I've been using the thokin a lot lately. It seems a lot better when you burst fire it. Less reticle bloom, more hits in the head, less ammo concerns. Just a friendly suggestion to anyone that likes the gun but struggles with the ammo issues and reticle bloom.

This made me lol.  Also sad. 


Needless to say, at this point, it is absolutely irrefutable whatever "testing" they engaged in was complete and utterly ineffective.
