Numerical Damage Tests

probably. Eventually one of the testers that actually has access to such weapons will take a closer look and tell us for sure ..

Can we get some numbers on the Lance weak point multiplier?
Really interested in what it is.
And what about weak point passives?
Are they additive or multiplicative?

I would also imagine the god mode hack to be helpful for testing numbers.

The Shadow multi...
Might as well go for only body shots and avoid the risk of missing aiming at the head.

What does this mean? *confused*

So guns in MEA that have a bonus vs. armor... how does it work? They actually do more damage against armor, AND THEN the -20 is subtracted?

Isharay IV:

2256.25
961.25 Damage - 1295 / scoped body

2256.25
0 Damage - at least 2256.25, target died / scoped head (I presume the multiplier is 2.1x)

2256.25
1608.75 Damage - 647.5 / unscoped body

Lanat V - base damage 826

2256.25
1347.64 Damage - 908.61 / scoped body - partially charged shot?

2256.25
377.09 Damage - 1879.16 / scoped head

2256.25
604.25 Damage - 1652 / Fully charged, scoped body

2256.25
879.58 Damage - 1376.67 / half charged, scoped body

2256.25
1141.14 Damage - 1115.11 / Partly charged, scoped body

2256.25
1801.94 Damage - 454.31 / unscoped body

-Isharay and the lanat also have 0.5 HF penalty
-The Lanat will charge up to 81% and seems to work on a percentage basis, when half charged it did 51% more damage
-Both have a 2.1x headshot multiplier

Carnifex X:

2256.25
2036.25 Damage - 220 / body
1673.25 Damage - 363 / head

Equalizer VII:

1673.25
1608.25 Damage - 65 / body
1517.25 Damage - 91 / head

Carnifex: 1.65x HS MP
Equalizer: 1.4 HS MP

What happens if a target has 1 armor remaining and (say) 1000 health. You use a weapon with a bonus against armor, does the damage with bonus affect just the 1 point of armor or does it 'blow through' to the health?

Ex. say the Katana would do 40.35 damage vs. armor. Does it does 1 damage to armor and 39.35 to health? Or does it do 1 damage to armor and less to health because the bonus to armor no longer applies?

I wonder why they designed such a complicated system. *puzzled* I guess with computers you can do math as fast as you want. I know that in TTRPGs which is more my background I would never design anything this complicated, because nobody would be able to do the math fast enough to keep the game flowing.

It's there so some cheese can sneak in eventually and people will post grand threads about why cheese is bad and some will post stingy little ones about how they did it again and no regrets.

Testing sniper and pistol gear, just in case:

Vanquisher:

2256.25
1381.75 Damage - 874.5 / 10%

Predator X:

2256.25
2184.75 Damage - 71.5 / 10%

Gear works on both weapons

Sidewinder X:

2256.25
2083.25 Damage - 173 /body
1797.8 Damage - 285.45 / head

Scorpion X:

1797.8
1787.8 Damage - 10 / body
1217.8 Damage - 570 / body

2256.25
2239.75 Damage - 16.5 / head
1669.75 Damage - 570 / head

Eagle:

2256.25
2186.25 Damage - 70 / body

2256.25
2158.25 Damage - 98 / head

Phalanx X:

2158.25
2015.25 Damage - 143 / body
1780.94 Damage - 234.31 / head
1546.64 Damage - 234.3 / head
1404.64 Damage - 142 / body

-Scorpion, I think like the old scorpion, will do 10 damage with initial projectile and then 570 with the blast. The projectile can get headshots and has a 1.65x mp.
- The Sidewinder and The Phalanx: 1.65x HS MP
- The Eagle: 1.4x HS MP

Been trying to find shield values of enemies on gold but without any success, would be so much easier with the health tables.

154/110 = 1.4

This disagrees with 1.15 above, which was what I suspected would happen.

Don't know that they would necessarily bother to have multiple weakpoint bonuses per weapon, may just be modifying weak points with various enemies. For example, is Adhi is -0.25 weakpoint relative to base?

I don't have the Operator, but one thing to also test is whether or not weakpoint is really a damage taken effect and if it will add with debuffs like Invasion or whatever.

The Turian frowned with mandibles clicking, his eyes confused as he looked down at his trusty Indra.

 "Into the trash with you," he said; the Indra no more with nothing but a flick of the wrist. His hand quivering over his new beauty gripping it sternly. 

"Hopefully this stupid dinosaur will put out."


Cheers for the numbers and hard data
