Weapon damage vs. CritH, CritD | Forums

This has been the exact thing I was doing till now. But I want to choose now either raw damage or a pure crit build. But I guess I am better off with raw damage. If there is no basic multiplier on crits I reckon you'd better go with raw damage as every hit has the same amount of damage.

I think I am gonna do some testing today at the shooting range, doing crit hits with no points in crit damage and checking the numbers popping up.

Or has someone else tested this yet?

It depends on your gear. Also, don't forget about crit range on SMG and AR.

u can create a new character to see a raw stats. base crit damage - 25%. all obvious, as for me.

This for sure mate! I think even when there is no such crit damage multiplier and it depends solely on the crit damage shown under stats in the character menu, that a really high amount coupled with the right talents could outperform raw weapon damage as a few talents are boosting it pretty extreme e.g. the strained talent.

Yep, high crit and no crit damage isnt a good plan. Thats what ive done so far. I like to see big numbers. Well, i wasnt seeing big numbers just orange ones .

Yep. But raw dmg is better in any case with crit base Gear (like strained or obliterate) if values are almost doubled (1% WD ~2%HSD for example)

I guess there is no multiplier.

Tested before on the shooting range:

Crit chance: 39%
Crit damage: 25%

Used weapon: LMG M249 Para

Testing restrictions: Only bodyshots

Normal weapon damage: 17647 (white)
Landed crit hit: 22060 (orange)

I repeated this process for 300 rounds only hitting the body center. The numbers I got where always either 17647 or 22060.

22060 : 17647 = 1.25007

As you can see I only landed crits with the 25% crit damage. There is no crit multiplier then. Please consider that my testing was just for a short time and some factors might be not taken into account.
