Editing Weapon DamageGive feedback

'''Weapon Damage''' is a stat that increases [[Bullet Damage]], Light [[Melee Damage]], and Heavy Melee Damage.

== Headshots ==
Aiming for the head will deal increased damage. [[Troopers]], [[Guardians]], and [[Heroes]] have a weakpoint hitbox that receives approximately double base bullet damage when hit by a weapon. {{HeroIcon|Seven}} receives reduced incoming headshot damage, as do {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}, who have a separate hitbox for each of Mo and Krill's heads.

Several items have effects that proc on headshots, such as {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}}, {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}, and {{ItemIcon|Crippling Headshot}}.

== Math ==
The formula for weapon damage is: <math>x_f = x_i * (1 + \sum_{i=1}^n \text{Shop Bonus} + \sum_{i=1}^n \text{BaseAttackDamagePercent} + \sum_{i=1}^n \text{Golden Statues})</math><br/><!--this is missing damage dropoff and bullet resist calc -->
where:<br/>
<math>
\begin{align}
  x_f &= \text{final weapon damage,} \\
  x_i &= \text{initial weapon damage,} \\
  Shop Bonus &= \text{Increase based on the tier,} \\
  BaseAttackDamagePercent &= \text{weapon damage value,} \\
  Golden Statues &= \text{Golden Statue value}
\end{align}
</math>

== Weapon Damage Formula ==
The formula for calculating weapon damage is:

<math>(BaseBulletDmg*WeaponDmg%*DmgBonus%+FlatWeaponDmg)*DmgFalloff*BulletResist*BulletDmg%*CritMultiplier</math>

=== Base Bullet Damage ===
The Amount of damage your Hero will do while having no items. This is different for each hero and it increases based on your [[Power|power level]]. All heroes gain power levels at the same soul milestones. 

[[Grey Talon]] is an exception to the rule, additionally increasing his Base Bullet Damage based on his [[Spirit Power]] acquired through [[items]].

=== Weapon Damage ===
The percentage of damage acquired through items

=== Flat Weapon Damage ===
An extra amount of damage obtained through the use of second skills on particular heroes.

Flat Weapon Damage is not affected by Weapon Damage, it's an additive damage source and it's not multiplied with the total multiplication that comes from Base Bullet Damage, Weapon Damage and Damage Bonus, but added in top of it

Some sources of Flat Weapon Damage are:

== Sources ==
All [[Weapon|weapon items]] implicitly provide weapon damage based on tier, represented as "Shop Bonuses" in the ingame stats calculation. Tier 1 items provide +6%, Tier 2 items provide +10%, Tier 3 items provide +14%, and Tier 4 items provide +18%. The following items explicitly grant increased weapon damage:
{{Item stat table|Weapon Damage}}
* {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}} deals +40 bonus Weapon Damage with headshots.
* {{ItemIcon|Monster Rounds}} increases Weapon Damage against NPCs by +35%.
* {{ItemIcon|Berserker}} increases Weapon Damage by +5% per [[stack]] for sustaining damage, where 100 receiving damage equals one stack, maxing at ten stacks.
* {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}} additionally deals +140 bonus Weapon Damage with headshots.
* {{ItemIcon|Intensifying Magazine}} additionally increases Weapon Damage to a maximum of 60% after continuously firing for three seconds.
* {{ItemIcon|Pristine Emblem}} additionally increases Weapon Damage by +25% against enemies above 50% health.
* {{ItemIcon|Alchemical Fire}} causes enemies to receive +50% Weapon Damage from the player's team.
* {{ItemIcon|Glass Cannon}} additionally increases Weapon Damage by +10% per stack for each hero kill, maxing at seven stacks.
<!-- Monster rounds not on the table. adding it means adding custom text for the stat-is it worth the trouble?-->

=== Map spawns ===
* [[Golden Statue]]s can provide a permanent increase: +<b>3</b>% Weapon Damage before 10 minutes, or +<b>4</b>% Weapon Damage before 30 minutes, or +<b>7</b>% Weapon Damage after 30 minutes.
