How this is worked out

Cooldown is what the game shows: the attack's own duration (melee: thrust out and back, longer for longer range; ranged: twice the recoil) plus the cooldown frames ÷ 60. DPS = damage × projectiles × (1 + crit chance × (crit damage − 1)) ÷ that cooldown, with every stat at 0. Not counted: effects, pierce, bounce, accuracy, knockback.
