Damage per Second

Damage per second (a.k.a. DPS for short), is a measure of how much damage a given weapon does per second.
Disclaimer
DPS assumes that every shot hits (which, in reality, is very unlikely for non-explosive weapons). DPS does not factor in other variables like accuracy or miss radius - it is a measure of how much potential damage a weapon could do.
So in short, this formula doesn't account for:
- Accuracy/Misses
- Miss Radius
- Blast Radius
It's just a calculation of raw, total output damage (on a single target).
Calculation
The DPS of weapons on the weapons page have been calculated using the following formula:
DPS = (Damage × Burst Count) ÷ { [Cooldown + Warmup + (Burst Ticks × (Burst Count - 1)] ÷ 60 ticks per second }
Numbers are rounded to two decimal places for readability.
