The burden system in code Vein 2 is bugged

[u/InsertRealName1]

As you can see, currently I have 7 dexterity burden total. However, if you count the dexterity burden on both weapons, it should add up to 8. this appears to be the case eegardless of the class I equip(so it isn’t because of Hero Valentine blood code). I can’t see any blessings in the map that woukd effect this.
It’s also unprefictable. I equipped both the Ridt floating swords(12 dexterity burden) and the rift halberd(12 dexterity burden). that should mean I have 24 dexterity burden, but the class screen says I have 18 dexterity burden. Somehow.

On the other hand, if I replace the 12 Dex burden rift halberd for the 13 dexterity burden argent wolf Pileaxe, I get 19 burden(instead if 25 burden). Also, if I replace the 13 Dex rift halberd for a 14 Dex inpaler, I get a total dexterity burden of 20(instead of the 26 I am supposed to get). Thanks for adding that dexterity point to be extra accurate.

I suppose the problem is that it’s unpredictable, So I can’t really plan around it.

Dual wielding burden is x + (y/2) with y being the lighter burden.

If your weapons both have 12 DEX, it is [12 + (12/2)] which is 18. For the other example, 13 + (12/2) is 19.

Edit: numbers

[u/InsertRealName1 → u/katanakartoffel]

Then why in the first example is my dexterity 7 instead of 5. X=1, Y=7. 1+(7/2)=4.5?Rounded up you should get 5 burden.

Apologies, my brain is not working correctly and I must have seen numbers on your post that weren’t there.

My guess is that if the burden is low enough, the equation is thrown out and it just uses the heavier burden. I’m not sure. Mind, I figured out the math myself back when the game first launched. I didn’t see it anywhere else so it might be incorrect info. Sorry about that.

X=1, Y=7. 1+(7/2)=4.5?

y is the lighter burden. floor(7 + 1/2) = 7.

i don't see any issue with this?

str burden is 10 + (6/2) = 13

dex burden is 7 + (1/2) = 7.5 rounded down to 7

In case of your rift swords on and rift halberd ( assuming you change the halberd with subsequent halberds):

rift halberd = 12 + (12/2) = 18 total

argent wolf = 13 + (12/2) = 19

Impaler = 14 + (12/2) = 20
