Formula and assumptions
DPS = damage × projectiles × (1 + crit chance × (crit damage − 1)) ÷ cooldown, the cooldown being the one the game shows (attack duration + cooldown frames ÷ 60).
- Every stat at 0 (no character, items or level-ups).
- Weapon effects (burning, explosions, pierce, bounce) are not counted.
- Support weapons that deal 1 damage are left out.
