They gave us a shooting range for a reason.
I have been using it since day 1 and have tested every weapon/gear combo I have ever come across to determine my actual damage output.
You can also do testing in the DZ with two teams of 2 (1 extra player for the revive per team).
You can test on npc's in challenge modes as well.
I used the shooting range day one of release as well and when I shot it no damage numbers showed up.Originally Posted by orthow Go to original post
That's not DPS either, that's damage per bullet. Guns like snipers shoot like one shot per second but SMGs and ARs shoot multiple bullets a second.
I'm not sure it's damage per bullet. The numbers pop up a few times per second. In the case of snipers it gives a reading for every bullet, but for automatic weapons it probably groups the damage readings together.Originally Posted by HiMyNamesBrian Go to original post
I seem to get much higher dps than shown in the inventory. Especially with headshot bonuses and the stability of my weapon making it a headshot laser sometimes. I think the dps rating is for body shots and doesn't seem to take into account critical hits/damage.
