QUESTION : Weapon Skill Ballistic and Pistol bonus percentage , did they stack ?

[dprijadi]

I was experimenting with the skill bonuses using a pistol

without ballistic and pistol , when i hit an enemy i got 10 damage

with ballistic 1 , i got 11 (10%) damage

with pistol 1 , i got 11 (10%) damage

but when i put ballistic 1 and pistol 1 , i still got 11 damage

i thought they stacked into 20% damage (should be 12) ?

--

How the bonus percentage of weapons damage calculated ?

Assume i got 3 ballistic (30%) damange and pistol 3 (30%) damage and Isolation (bonus damage without companion following you) 30% , shouldnt this mean if im using pistol i got 90% additional damage ?

Good question. Have some points.
I could test lasers and see what we get.

i put 2 skill points into lasers and i got 20% damage increase from the cutter

i put 2 on pistol and i got 20% increase damatge

but when i put 1 in ballistic and 1 in pistol i dont get 20%

they do stack but what are 10% of 11?

is it 11.1? are those numbers that are round up on display because why bother showing 0.1%?

no the damage before skill is 10 , after ballistic 1 the damage show as 11 , after ballistic 1 + pistol 1 , it still 11.. shoudlnt it be 12 ?

Why would pistol and ballistic stack? Shotgun and Ballistic does not stack either.
Because they are 2 different skill sets.

this is what i found on internet about the ballistic weapon

this should apply to all weapon with bullets right ?

Ballistic weapons deal physical damage by firing actual bullets or other projectiles and represent your classic guns, so shoot an enemy enough times to fully deplete their HP and they die. The range with Ballistic weapons tends to be fairly short, unless they've been modified with a new barrel and scope to extend it, and some of the basic ammo types are ubiquitous so you shouldn't find it hard to keep the standard weapons topped up. Ballistic weapons you're likely to encounter include:

Coachman shotgun - caseless shell ammo
Drum Beat rifle - 11mm ammo
Eon pistol - 7.77mm ammo
Grendel rifle - 7.77mm ammo
Kraken pistol - 6.5mm ammo
Lawgiver rifle - .50 caliber ammo
Maelstrom rifle - 6.5mm ammo
Pacifier shotgun - 15x25 CLL shell ammo
Rattler pistol - .27 caliber ammo
Regulator pistol - .43 ultramag ammo
Sidestar pistol - .27 caliber ammo
Urban Eagle pistol - .43 ultramag ammo

you're crazy for New Atlantis?
wait until you have been to Neon, Akila, Hope Town, Paradiso... and eventually Dazra if you have the DLC...

anyway, if you like the game, thats good for you... because it only ends when you can't figure out what else you want to do... besides Missions and Stories.

well i just got few skill points and thinking maybe i put 1 in ballistic and 1 in pistol before adding 1 in stealth and 1 in security

but the damage of my pistol dont stack with ballistic that throw me off

yes i just got the game and enjoying it slowly , i dont want to RUSH and do everyting in one hour

They should stack. My current character is leveling the rifle skill and already has lasers rank3. Im noticing damage increase on my Orion every time I increase rifle.

Have you tested with other pistols ?

Pistols are ballistic weapons. (The ones which fire bullets)

Not all of them, but yes a pistol can be a ballistic, laser or particle beam weapon, and corresponding skill bonuses should stack.
