weapons - damage ?

[gandalf]

I can not seem to figure out which weapons do "most damage". I can see stats like damage type, attack rate, hit chance. Am I missing something here or should I be able to determine from this if for example a laser pistol is better than crossbow ?

The damage for weapons is tied to whatever health conditions they are set to inflict. It's not a fixed value, as some weapons can apply different conditions with different weightings. And, unfortunately, the UI doesn't show you the details of any of that, anywhere.

Edit: unless you are fighting against robots, that is (in the new DLC scenario). That damage is shown quite nicely as a "Damage to Robots" number right in the weapon tooltip. It would be nice if we had something similar for ordinary damage, but ordinary damage is not as straightforward as Damage to Robots.

Could someone tell me how I read from this which weapon does more damage?
Is there a mod for this?
