What to prioritize? fire rate | damage | reload speed

[sneaker42]

When facing an weapon upgrade during a level up or while overclocking, I'm always wondering what upgrade would be most effective?

fire rate > damage > reload speed

That's my typical guess. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on the gun.

Reload > Rate of Fire > Damage

With this logic, if I keep all cooldowns relatively low and my weapons firing consistently, I can focus more on the mining and dodging aspect of the game and less on the positioning aspect.

so far it worked pretty good till tier 4 maps

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind.

Whatever increases your dps the most. Warthog for example has so a fast reload, you dont really need it further reduced. Increasing firerate is way better, since the reload takes roughly as long as a shot , but you have 8 shots. So 20 % less reload is 1/5 of a shot per time a mag needs. While 20 % firerate is 8/5 more shots per time a mag needs.

Pretty much this.

there is no definite answer, it depends on the type of weapon

Generally damage, because it gives you more value per bullet, whereas fire rate and reload speed just make you shoot faster.

For most weapons it will be a good mix. Because similar to other multiplicative factors its better to spread it out, because it squares then.

For example lets take a weapon with 10 bullets per second, with 10 damage.

This would be a DPS of 10 x 10 = 100

Now if the can apply a total of +400 % modificators, we could put all into damage ending up with:
10 x 50 = 400
(10 + 400 % of itself is 50)

Or we can spread it out like +200 % for firerate and + 200 % for dmg:

(10 +20) x (10 + 20) = DMG
30 x 30 = 900

Later is more than twice as good for the dps. Similar to critrate, which is another multiplier on top of it.

Damage is always the universal option, fire rate and reload depend on the weapon.

Take the shotgun as an example, fire rate for it is mostly useless, because it will shoot twice then enter a long reload cooldown, so it makes sense to ignore fire rate and focus on damage and reload speed.

For weapons with a long clip like the 4-side gun, it makes more sense to have more fire rate since reload speed won't even affect it that much.
