DPS Formula:
From: | To: |
DPS (Damage Per Second) is a crucial metric in The Division 2 that measures how much damage your weapon can deal over time. It takes into account magazine size, damage per bullet, and reload time to give you a complete picture of your weapon's performance.
The calculator uses the DPS formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates total damage per magazine divided by the time to empty the magazine and reload.
Details: DPS helps compare weapons effectively, optimize builds, and understand weapon performance in different combat scenarios.
Tips: Enter magazine size (whole number), damage per bullet (decimal values allowed), and reload time in seconds. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Does this account for rate of fire?
A: This basic formula doesn't include rate of fire. For more precise calculations, you'd need to factor in RPM (rounds per minute).
Q2: What's a good DPS value in Division 2?
A: Good DPS depends on your build and difficulty level, but generally 100K+ is decent for endgame content.
Q3: How do I find my weapon's stats?
A: All stats are visible in your inventory when inspecting a weapon.
Q4: Does this work for all weapon types?
A: Yes, the formula works for all guns, but some weapons (like shotguns) may need additional considerations.
Q5: Should I only look at DPS when choosing weapons?
A: No, also consider handling, range, talents, and how the weapon fits your playstyle and build.
