'''Damage Amplification''' or '''Damage Amp''' is a stat that multiplies the damage caused by the player to affected enemies and NPCs. It can be both positive and negative. In latter case it reduces damage and is also known as '''Damage Reduction'''.

'''Abrams''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a hard-boiled, hard-hitting bruiser of a character that focuses on engaging groups of enemies and relying on his high health, high damage output, and life draining ability to stay in the fight. With a powerful area stun and a devastating shoulder charge, Abrams can isolate fragile targets from the rest of the team and set-up his more damaging allies to finish them off.


{{#ev:youtube|apzBQPZyW_w|360|description=Video explaining Damage Amplification}}
A capable and well-known detective of New York, Abrams solved crimes ranging from kidnappings to ritual murders. One day, a mysterious Tome was left on his desk with a note of "Don't let them have it" scrawled in Onyx blood; followed by car bombings and break-ins to his office. Now, Abrams is trying to figure out just what the hell is going on.


== Calculation ==
== Weapon ==
Contrary to what the percentages might suggest, multiple sources of damage amplification do not all stack in the same way. There are three distinct categories of Damage Amplification, each interacting with the damage formula differently:


* '''Additive Amps:''' These add together with each other (including additive Damage Reductions) into a single pool.
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_atlas}}Case Closed has a 0.7s delay to start [[Reload Time|reloading]] after shooting a shell. It takes 0.35s to start reloading and 0.35s to reload each shell. Reloading all shells takes 3.5s.
* '''Multiplicative Amps:''' These multiply the total damage one by one.
* '''Instance Amps:''' These are nearly identical to multiplicative amps, main exception being they create a new instance of damage.


=== The Damage Formula ===
== Abilities ==


Based on testing, the generalized formula for how these amps apply to weapon damage is as follows:
{{User:LVL/Sandbox
| hero_name  = Abrams
| ability_num = 1
| notes =
* Deals damage every 0.25s, with first tick happening after 0.25s of activating the ability.
* Abrams retains full control while Siphon Life is active: he can move, dash, jump, shoot and use other abilities.
* Siphon Life is not a channeled ability. It does not stop when Abrams is [[Interrupt|interrupted]], and it cannot be stopped prematurely with a hotkey.
}}


<math>\text{Damage} = [(\text{Base Bullet Damage} \times \text{Weapon Multiplier}) \times (1 + \text{Total Additive Amps}) + \text{Flat Bonus}] \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_1 \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_2 \dots \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_1 \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_2</math>
{{User:LVL/Sandbox
| hero_name  = Abrams
| ability_num = 2
| notes      =
* At base duration, Shoulder Charge travels approximately 17.5m.
* Charge's distance is increased with [[Ability Duration]], not [[Ability Range]].
* T3 Damage bonus applies to every bullet in a spreadshot. This amounts to 1.5 * 9 = 13.5 increase in damage per shot.
** This bonus does not increase melee damage.
}}


'''Example:'''
{{User:LVL/Sandbox
| hero_name  = Abrams
| ability_num = 3
| notes =
* T1 bonus health does not get further increase with {{ItemIcon|Colossus}}.
}}


# A hero has a base bullet damage of '''100''' and '''0''' flat weapon damage for simplicity.
{{User:LVL/Sandbox
# The hero is affected by {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} (an Additive Damage Reduction of '''-30%'''). Their damage drops to '''70''' (100 * 0.70 = 70).
| hero_name  = Abrams
# {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} casts {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} on the hero (an Additive Amp of '''+20%'''). The additive pool is now -30% + 20% = -10%. The hero deals '''90''' damage (100 * 0.90 = 90).
| ability_num = 4
# The hero parries an enemy hero (Multiplicative Amp of '''+25%''' against parried target''')'''. This is applied after the additive pool. The hero now deals '''112.5''' damage (90 * 1.25 = 112.5).
| notes      =
* If Abrams collides with a flying enemy while crashing into the ground, he will drag them with him.
* At full charge, Abrams can jump up to approximately 55m in one direction with Seismic Impact.
** This is not affected by [[Ability Range]].

== Damage Reduction ==
 
'''Damage Reduction''' is a negative form of Damage Amplification, reducing the damage output of enemies or its user. Mechanically, standard Damage Reductions are treated as negative '''Additive Amps''' (see Calculation section).
 
=== Damage Reduction Stacking ===
 
Valve's May 22 patch notes state that Damage Reduction debuffs are intended to stack diminishingly (i.e., multiplicatively, in the same manner as Resistance)<ref>{{Update link|May|22|2026}}</ref>.
 
However, live testing confirms that standard Damage Reduction debuffs have not been fully migrated to this new system. Currently, Damage Reductions (such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} or {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}}) simply act as negative Additive Amps. This means they add directly together with other additive amps (positive or negative) rather than multiplying against each other.

==== Spirit Damage Reduction====
 
Spirit Damage Reduction from {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} (T2) and {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} does '''not''' behave like standard Damage Reduction. Multiple sources of Spirit‑specific reduction stack additively with each other (e.g., Afterburn T2 + Silencer = sum of percentages). This combined spirit reduction is then applied as a '''separate multiplier''', multiplicative with all other additive amps such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}}.

== Bugs, Quirks, and Exceptions ==
* '''Additive Amps''' do not apply to many flat values, such as flat weapon damage bonuses, base damage for Melee abilities (Such as the bonus +60 damage from {{HeroIcon|Calico}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Leaping Slash}} T3 upgrade), {{ItemIcon|Capacitor}} active, {{AbilityIcon|Backstabber}}, etc.
* {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}: Multiplicative non-instance amps are the only amps that work correctly with Headhunter damage.
* {{ItemIcon|Return Fire}}: Because Multiplicative Amps act as defensive stats on the target, if an attacker fires at a target with Return Fire while the attacker has an M-amp active against them, the attacker will take increased reflected damage.
* {{HeroIcon|Billy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Blasted}} bullet amp is unique as it is a post-mitigation [[True Damage|true damage]] amp. Because of this, it does not work at all against barriers.
* {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} and {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} Tier 2 Spirit Damage Reduction are exceptions to the standard Damage Reduction rule. They stack additively with themselves, but multiplicatively with other additive amps.
* {{HeroIcon|Celeste}}'s Spirit damage amp from {{AbilityIcon|Radiant Daggers}} works like a multiplicative amp but is affected by additive amp bugs (see the Additive Amps entry above).
