Damage per second (a.k.a. DPS for short) is a measure of how much damage a given weapon does per second.

Disclaimer[edit]

These DPS formulas don't account for a pawn's shooting skills.

It's just a calculation of raw, total output damage (on a single target).

Calculation[edit]

The DPS of weapons on the weapons page have been calculated using the following formula:

Optimal DPS[edit]

This is the maximum potential damage, ignoring accuracy.

Max DPS = (Damage × Burst Shot Count) ÷ (Ranged Cooldown (ticks) + Warm-up (ticks) + (Burst Time (ticks) * (Burst Count - 1)) × 60

For example:

Charge rifle max DPS = (15 × 3) ÷ (120 ticks + 60 ticks + 12 ticks × (3 - 1)) × 60 = 13.24
