I think i know why Firearm damage doesn't scale with rarity

[SolusiRadikal]

When i was sorting the weapon data for further tweaking, i found that Rifle has no damage string like other melee weapon, which mean the damage will stay as is no matter what rarity rank the weapon has.

The good news is i also found out that firearm has HUUUGE damage multiplier when shooting someone in the face. So i think it's a win-win situation.

That's all for today folks :D

Yeah, I thought as much, and it does make sense. What doesn't make sense is techland not doing it like they did in Dead Island. Maybe they received complaints?

Then again, the weapons in DI felt underpowered if you didn't mod them...

No, they actually use the same string for building the weapon, only this time they it's seems to revolve around damage with range effectiveness (More farther = less damage) which i think totally useless on DI because the weapon also has damage string just like melee weapon, that in my opinion make the range effective string useless.

Yeah, I noticed that the guns' damage output is static, except for criticals. The highest rifle damage, at least for me, appears to be the Police Rifle at like 194 or something like that. Except for the first one I ever picked up which was 204. Not sure why this one is different, it's weird xD

I never came across a rifle that did more damage than the police rifle at 184 a pop. In fact, I'd expect the military rifle to be more powerful, since it's, well... Military. But no, the police one is better. Other than that, the highest damage dealing gun is the double barrel shotgun. Does... 1.5k if it all hits, if I'm not mistaken. The second most damaging is the german pistol I think.

Ah right, yes, 184. There's also Rais' Gun, which is a pistol and does 373 (or similar, I can't remember). However, it shoots in 3-round bursts. So I'm not certain if that is 373 over the course of all three rounds, or if each round does 373 by itself. I haven't found it to be particularly powerful when using it though, but I hardly use it anyway since the mid game and onward melee weapons do a buttload more damage anyway

Power attacks tear through pretty much anything, to the point it starts being funny. The first legendary I found was a Katana that did almost 1.3k damage, and boy was it funny going around slashing at two or three zombies at the same time. :D

Shotgun actually deal less damage than other firearm, but the weapon itself spit more than 6 bullet, which make it devastating when all of them hit the same target.

Could you please put the weapon screenshot so i could dig it further to find out why?

Rais gun deal 247 damage each bullet, that's what i get from the data.

Yes, that's what I meant by "if it all hits", I wasn't sure how many pellets it shoots per round. But all combined do that amount of damage if they all hit.
