Gun Strike Damage

[NerdExtrodinare]

Do we know if weapon damage and weapon perks effect the damage of gun strike or is it just it's own damage thing effected only by things that enhance gun strikes?

Gunstrike is flat dmg that's buffed by gunstrike specific perks

Is it?
Is it really not impacted by any of your stuff?
That doesn't sound right. You can't tell me this thing somehow still mange to keep up even on Lethal without any form of scalling on the stuff.

from how it feels using it at higher difficulties, i feel like it deals %damage of the enemies max health. i havent ever felt like gun strikes were weak.

Same.
Or it could be a flat damage + %age of HP, just to make it stronger on lower difficulty where the mobs dont have much HP anyway.

youre right, i misspoke; it's %, not flat - major takeaway is that equipped sidearm doesn't really matter, and the damage is only affected by perks which iirc are exclusive to assault

dont know about gun strike, but bulwark parry deals damage from % of enemies max hp, so gun strike probably working the same way

I would like to add that plasma pistol Gunstrike deal similar but have AOE.
So you can kill a bunch of mobs that stack together that way.
