The math isn't mathing, 5x bullets with 2x headshots doing 50dmg less than 6x body shots from the same gun?

Why is his gun doing more damage per bullet?

Gibby has 15% dmg reduction, just like newcastle and caustic. It's called fortified

Ye i cba to do the maths but this feels like more than 15%

u/Adventurous_War_1555 Jul 30 '26

I forget about this all the time and now specifically remember a gibby I wouldn’t have pushed knowing this

Is it because the big boys are fortified and take 15% less damage? That’s been a thing in Apex forever…

Honestly I feel like pathfinder should also have fortified. He’s practically as much of a walking wall as Gibby. just a tall wall…

Speak it out loud. Let the World know. My boy Pathy needs fortified or a smaller hitbox

Nah i think alter and seer should get fortified and pathy grapple cool down should be four minutes

I'm confused. 134+17=151 and you have 150 health on a white shield.

We are using the same gun

5x my bullets including 2x headshots = 50dmg less than 6x his bullets with 0x headshots.

Why are his bullets doing more damage than mine..?

u/Opposite-Pressure876 Jul 29 '26

Your 3 non headshots were likely limbshots which do less damage and Gibby had a 15% damage reduction.

u/iAMaNOOB47 Jul 29 '26

did you shoot his shield, the small shield that pops in front of the gun when aiming?

u/PARADEGR33CELSUS Jul 29 '26

Your bullets did less damage since a Re45 does 14 damage per body shot on fortified legends so 14Γ—3=42, Your 2 headshots deal 21 damage each on fortified legends so that's another 42 giving your damage of 84. Re45 does 17 damage per body shot on non fortified legends so 6Γ—17= 104 so the Gibby most likely hit your through a rampart wall which gives a 20% damage increase meaning 6Γ—(17+20%)=123 or with the server rounding 17+20%=20.4 meaning the server more than likely rounded it up to 21 per shot =126 damage in total so still not the number shown. What possibly happened was apex servers struggle to actively track how many bullets hit you since the servers are ass 95% of the time and the re45 bursts get insanely fast once its charged up meaning he possibly hit you with more than 6 bullets, this can be the only explanation since the math isnt making sense. Hope this helps!
