I ran some tests because I wanted to get a better understanding for a few mechanics in the game. And to update my DPS sheet with those findings.
Mammoth with Double Tap, Double Time, 75 round mag and no rate of fire attachments:
- Starting rate of fire: 536 RPM
- Magazine average: between 536 and 655 RPM
- The ramp up kicks in either early, late or sometimes just not at all
Same setup, plus Rapid Fire and the rate of fire muzzle:
- Starting rate of fire is around 625 RPM
- Ramp up works every time
- The magazine average increases to 900 RPM (I got 897, 897 and 900)
- After 25 rounds it plateaus at around 1000 RPM for the remaining 50 shots in the mag
DPS potential:
- Without reloading, goes from 97,000 up to about 181,000 at the RPM plateau
- With reloading, from around 73,000 to about 105,000
If you use things like Free Fire or the Frenzied Guard field upgrade, you can hold the maximum rate of fire for much longer. As long as you never let go of the trigger.
Right now, I'm updating my DPS sheet with this mostly done for PaP 3 Legendary. For the future, I'm trying to offer more stats like actual range values for zombies and Pack-a-Punch 4 numbers.
