Weapon Damage

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. Seven receives reduced incoming headshot damage, as do 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 Headshot Booster, Headhunter, and Crippling Headshot.

Math

The formula for weapon damage is: $x_{f} = x_{i} * (1 + \sum_{i = 1}^{n} Shop Bonus + \sum_{i = 1}^{n} BaseAttackDamagePercent + \sum_{i = 1}^{n} Golden Statues)$
where:
$\begin{aligned} x_{f} & = final weapon damage, \\ x_{i} & = initial weapon damage, \\ S h o p B o n u s & = Increase based on the tier, \\ B a s e A t t a c k D a m a g e P e r c e n t & = weapon damage value, \\ G o l d e n S t a t u e s & = Golden Statue value \end{aligned}$

Weapon Damage Formula

The formula for calculating weapon damage is:

$(B a s e B u l l e t D m g * W e a p o n D m g % * D m g B o n u s % + F l a t W e a p o n D m g) * D m g F a l l o f f * B u l l e t R e s i s t * B u l l e t D m g % * C r i t M u l t i p l i e r$

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 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:
