    Weapons Upgrades: 5% Damage Increase Not Accurate

    FYI, when upgrading weapons after having a level 3 workbench, the 5% figure for the increased damage is not accurate.

    It's rarely even close to 5% increased damage per upgrade level. Pistols and SMGs only go up 1-3 damage per upgrade level.

    Maybe it's a 5% increase to DPS rather than damage per hit ?

    Math is apparently NOT ubisoft's forte - by my math it's 4% not 5...

    ps - and sometimes less than that as they round "down" - odd thing is that at times ya do get 5%. THE FIRST TIME - but then it immediately begins to diminish due to the rounding - For example : I had 800 damage and they gave me 5% so I had 840 damage - when I upgraded again immediately instead 882 I got 880 damage and by the time I got that junk SA-50 up 1000 damage and began to upgrade it again they gave me 4% and I had 1040 damage - their math is so wonky it's not even consistent....

    The base damage is 800 and apparently the increment is 5% of the base damage every time you upgrade the weapon (so, instead of upgrading it 14 times to double its damage, you need to upgrade it 20 times).
