My gun becomes weaker (damage degrades over time).

[nickn4]

So as the title says,

Over time my weapon becomes weaker and weaker. I bought a legendary weapon with about 140 attack power. It some point i upgraded this gun but i noticed that i went from 130->138 (lower than the original attack that it had, even after the upgrade!)

In the upgrade menu it seems to display the correct damage metric, according to this it should be about 180 now (after two upgrades). But in stead, it is now even lower towards 110!

Is this normal? I am so confused!

Do you have a silencer equipped?

[nickn4]

Yes i did equip a silencer. Before i did equip that, it was already 138. So that only explains the drop from 138 to the 110. but the other, it does not.

[nickn4]

Any thoughts? The silencer can only account for 15% of the damage loss. Even if i didn't upgrade i should still have about 125 attack. But i don't (110)! And to top it off, i did upgrade so it should be way more..

Enemies vary in resistances and armor stat.

[nickn4]

That i true, my damage output is like 500 upwards to 40k.

but i'm exclusively talking about my stats on the gun, which drops for some reasons besides the silencer.

i noticed that too.

not only that, sometimes my weapon dps in inventory shows 0.0 dps, restarting game fixes it every time so i'm pretty sure it's just bugged.

The higher level you become better stuff comes out.... i even have legendary weapons ive replaced with other legendarys. I am level 40 right now i have even legendary clothing i can replace with blues and purples cause i got them at a low level.

Just chalk it up to another bug for now

[nickn4]

I restarted my game to check if it is the same issue that you described Sigh, but mine doesn't reset to the stats back to what it is supposed to be.
It could still be the same bug, but the solution does not work (or identify it) for me, so i doubt it.

I think i am just going to assume that my stat is actually correctly used in the damage formulas since i'm not lacking in any..

Its going to remain a mystery for now.

@brain. It could very well be a bug. But i had to check if i am missing any kind of game mechanic (like the silencer). I was thinking maybe durability, but i guess not.

Mate what the heck?
The enemies are constantly upscaling based on the area you are in.
Their resistances, health and most importantly armor up scales as well. A low level pistol will suddenly start dealing a lot less damage.

Did you read? He's saying that his gun stats are changing, not the damage its doing which was remaining consistent.

no they don't and no they don't.

i think i would've noticed after 42 hours played.

also keep away from my profile you creep.

[nickn4]

Lets state some facts because there seems to be confusion:

- My weapon stats change
- The (attack) stat's on my weapon heave decreased
- Attack stat has decreased more than it should have (with the silencer 15%)
- My attack stats on the gun has decreased about 50-65%
- Restarting the game does not help
- Viewing the upgrade window display the correct damage stat (180 and not 110)

The scope of this post is exclusively talking about the stats you can view in your inventory equipped weapon. Therefore any damage DONE (final damage output) on enemies are outside the scope of this discussion. (unless you are going to tell me that my raw attack stats on my gun changes depending on my area or the enemy that i touch - which to me, is a highly unlikely scenario)

Currently i suspect the following:
- Damage is displayed incorrectly in menu
- Damage output is not affected by this error
- Probably a bug

Want to see something really funny? Put a weapon in your storage. Then later in the game go back and retrieve it. While in storage it says 0 damage. Put it in your inventory and it goes back to normal.

[nickn4]

@Geist, this is the same thing that the first guy told me about. His solution didn't work, and i tried your method too, but it didn't work either.

BTW, can you guys please check if your weapon in upgrade menu displays higher stats than it shows in equipped inventory menu? I am looking forwards to these results!
