Good video, but i just cant believe this. Remember how they said they would only shave 2.5% damage off of auto rifles way back in like march or february? It was more like an 11-14% damage reduction. Necrochasm went from hitting i think 16 in the head to 14. That is most definitely not 2.5%.

  • They didn't tell us percentage per archetype and some got hit harder than others. Also it's a percentage of base damage before figuring in crit multiplier.

  • Didnt they say 2.5% average? Because im fairly certain that SUROS (with focused fire) got a -14% damage reduction and Necrochasm archetype was ~8%. Not hating on you, im hating on Bungies wrong numbers.

    All depends on how they round out the decimals. With the complexity of the calcs I would assume it would be almost impossible to have everything automatically round to 0. If Nechro went from 15.6 (rounded to 16), to 14.4 (rounded to 14) then the 8% number would make sense.

  • Not sure exactly how they deal with rounding. If I shot someone and the number 17 shows up did I actually do 17 damage or 16.6 damage? The world may never know.

  • But still, SUROS went from 36 headshot to 27-28 headshot damage. Thats a -14% damage loss. Thats some serious rounding error on Bungies behalf.

    Well rounding isn't an error, it's just rounding. You may very well be right! I'm just saying it's not black and white. Nothing in here is.
