How weapon stats are calculated

All weapon stats are calculated using the untagged stats of the respective weapon regardless of the advantages/disadvantages placed on the weapon by the tag.

All stats are from Lv. 100 weapons.

[1] Lv. 100 Weapons

Lv. 100 weapons can be “upgraded beyond limits” up to 30 times total through any of 3 categories: firepower, firing rate and capacity.

Outside of online events a Lv. 100 weapon can only be obtained on Code Red difficulty using a character with a level of 90 or more. Opening chest will randomly give you weapons and/or parts albums (each stage contains 4 gold chest) of which one or more can be a lv. 100 weapon.

Once a Lv. 100 weapon is obtained you go to the workbench select it and choose the option “upgrading beyond limits”.

READ THE NEXT 3 SECTIONS BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS

[2] Firepower

For Lv. 100 weapons, there is absolutely no reason to ever upgrade firepower. It will NEVER benefit you over capacity at normal gameplay or any event.

DO NOT UPGRADE FIREPOWER, PERIOD

Example of why not to upgrade firepower

Lv. 100 Python
Firepower – 24205
Capacity – 8

Firepower Upgrade +30
Firepower – 31466
Capacity – 8
Total Damage Potential – 251728

Capacity Upgrade +30
Firepower – 24205
Capacity – 38
Total Damage Potential – 919790

The way the weapon mechanics work in this game upgrading capacity will benefit you over firepower upgrades.

You can youtube online events to get a better understanding of the correct way to play the game.

[3] Firing Rate

For certain Lv. 100 weapons upgrading the firing rate 1, 2 or 3 times will increase the performance of the weapon. Meaning your firing rate should never be upgraded more than 3 times.

NORMAL PLAYERS ONLY “the 99%”
If a weapon has a tag that increases firing rate then it DOES NOT need firing rate upgrade, in that case you upgrade capacity 30 times.

Tags that increase firing rate
Speed Shot
Steady Shot
Short Range+
Rare Tag

Weapons that will benefit from firing rate upgrade (If they do not have a firing rate tag)
Shotguns – M147S, TAP194
Sniper Rifles – M1891/30, Muramasa
Magnums – Model 329, 2005M

Fast firing rate
Any weapon with a tag that increases firing rate has “fast” firing rate built-in and does not need any firing rate upgrades. For other tags you can add a firing rate part or BSAA and/or up to 3 firing rate upgrades if needed.

M147S – 3.03
TAP194 – 1.48
[Long Range+] Muramasa – .61 (firing rate upgrade +2, BSAA, capacity upgrade +28)
[Long Range+] Muramasa – .61 (firing rate part Lv. 6+, capacity upgrade +30)
Professional players might need the extra ammo that BSAA provides.

PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS ONLY “the 1%”
High speed firing rate

Some weapons have a high speed firing rate that require a combination of firing rate upgrade, high level to max level firing rate part and BSAA.

M147S – 4.53
MP-AB50 & MP-AB50G – 22.50
MP-AF – 25.73
Chicago Typewriter – 24.00

[4] Capacity

For Lv. 100 weapons, 99% of the time you want to upgrade capacity 30 times. In certain cases you will need to upgrade firing rate also to meet competitive speed. If you have no intention of ever playing competitively, then you should upgrade capacity 30 times for all level 100 weapons.

[Untagged] Muramasa 5 Slots

Upgrade: Firing Rate +1, Capacity +29
New Stats: Firing Rate 0.61, Capacity 34

[Steady Shot] M147S

Upgrade: Firing Rate +3, Capacity +27

Element Ammo

Shoot bullets with element attribute (fire, ice or electric).
Percentage occurrence per bullet or shot (7 per shell) is based on weapon type and part level.

Fire ammo inflicts burn damage for a period of time. The burn damage is determined by character level, weapon type and stack amount.

Ice ammo inflicts ice damage and causes freeze state which reduces the enemy’s speed.
1x freeze reduces the enemy’s speed by 50%
2x freeze stops the enemy for about 2 seconds

Electric ammo causes shock state.
1x shock causes the enemy to incur 50% more damage for about 3 seconds
2x shock causes the enemy to incur 100% more damage for about 3 seconds

Sometimes element ammo Lv. 10 on a magnum or rifle doesn’t inflict element damage for a shot. It’s only a bug, normally it’s 100% element occurrence.

Force Ammo and Weapons

Causes bullets to pushback enemies a certain amount.
Pushback amount determined by weapon type and part level.

Force pistols can be used for indoor stages or stages that require short distance pushing.

All non-homing setups require [Steady Shot] tag.

You can lower the homing ammo level for a “aim assist” non-homing feel. Homing ammo Lv. 2 will only push the enemy your aiming at.

Because element occurrence for level 10 parts max out at 40% you can combine parts like ice ammo Lv.10 and daze.

Example

***For an untagged Model 329 or 2005M, upgrading the firing rate by +1 to +3 can dramatically affect their performance.***

You can lower the homing ammo level for a “aim assist” non-homing feel. Homing ammo Lv. 2 will only push the enemy your aiming at.

Example

Homing Ammo

Homing ammo works with every weapon type except shotguns.

Allows bullets to automatically track enemies.

Part Level
1. Tracking Degree 5
2. Tracking Degree 10
3. Tracking Degree 15
4. Tracking Degree 20
5. Tracking Degree 25
6. Tracking Degree 30
7. Tracking Degree 35
8. Tracking Degree 40
9. Tracking Degree 45
10. Tracking Degree 50

If all enemy types were on-screen at once, homing ammo will work in the following order regardless of distance.

1. Normal enemy types (humanoid, monsters, four-legged)
2. Insects

Homing ammo homes in on targets closest to your character position within it’s homing degree NOT closest to your reticlelaser aim.

DO NOT use Fire Ammo with Soul Eater and/or Greedy Killer, in order to receive the bonus gold and/or experience the kill shot MUST come from the weapon NOT burn damage.

Full burst is not necessary in these setups. Once you get use to routine farming you will realize it’s speed advantage.

Homing ammo level 5 to 10 is suitable for use in these setups.

Critical Hit Lv. 5 to 10 can be used with [Steady Shot] or [Long Range+] tags in place of damage parts. These tags add 20% critical rate.
Example
Pistol Weapon Type – 15% Critical
Steady Shot Tag – 20% Critical
Critical Hit Lv. 10 – 30% Critical
Final Critical Rate 65%

Shotguns [Section 1]

*ALL SETUPS ARE FOR LV. 100 SHOTGUNS*

All shotguns fire 7 shots per shell.

Each shotgun has a minimum firing rate so that you will no longer see the guns recoil animation while full bursting. As long as the firing rate is at or above this number your shotgun will perform at it’s best.

M147S – 3.03
TAP194 – 1.48
Hydra – Requires firing rate part to be effectively used for Level-Restricted Challenges
Drake – Only effective use is normal gameplay or Weekend Survivor

The importance of focus part: When fire occurs ALL 7 shots induce burn and when all shots hit the target burn damage increases to maximum rate faster. For shotguns only it’s 1890 at character level 1.

*Double Stack Shotgun Burn Damage FPS30/60

WORKS AT FPS 30 AND FPS 60
FPS 30 – Works with any fast shotgun with piercing
FPS 60 – Works only with the M147S with firing rate at least 4.53 and piercing

Discovered July 16, 2016

Some of you might have experienced this at one time or another but could not find an explanation.

While playing LRC No. 128 (Neil’s Stage) I noticed that sometimes when I shotgunned Neil, fire damage would go above 1890. I thought maybe it had something to do with Neil’s spontaneous combustion, so I decided to do some testing…

And after hours of testing I figured out how to make shotgun fire damage at level 1 stack to a maximum of 3780 against ALL enemies.

– [Steady Shot] tag highly recommended, unless you have good aim at near maximum shotgun range.

– Piercing is a MUST.

– Focus part is a MUST.

– FPS30 – At least +8% firing rate (steady shot tag) for the M147S and TAP194.
– FPS60 – Works only with the M147S with firing rate at least 4.53.

– This will not work on slow systems that can’t keep a steady frame rate of at least 25 – 30 (for FPS30).

In order to get shotgun fire damage to double stack you have to stand about 2 meters (4 walking steps) in from maximum shotgun range. You will know you are at maximum range when you aim at an enemy and the center aim point dims. For smaller enemies you will have to be about 2.5 meters (5 walking steps) in from maximum range.

The screenshots below will provide you with a reference of where you need to stand.

Using this technique it is very possible to do the Graveyard (Guantlet VIII-3) at level 1.

*Creature Event Damage Calculation

[Total Damage] ÷ [Number of Times Data Received] x [Event Duration]

All reset times for Daily Missions, Creature Event and Weekend Survivor is:
3 pm (15:00) LOCAL TIME

For creature event a day starts and ends at 3 pm (15:00) Japan Standard Time. If your reset time allows you to play twice within this 24 hour period then +1 will be added to number of times data received. When a day progresses then +1 will be added to the event duration.

Example

Session 1 – 5,000,000
Session 2 – 6,000,000
Session 3 – 5,500,000

Event Duration – 2 Days

[16,500,000] ÷ [3] x [2] = 11,000,000 will be posted if the next leaderboard update is before 3pm JST.

Level-Restricted Challenge Lv. 40

The LRC level 40 weapon setups and loadout vary depending on the stage, but for the most part you can use your Weekend Survivor weapons for LRC 40 events.

All Lv. 100 Pistols: Capacity Upgrade +30

***The 6th part can be anything that assist the pistols tag or your gameplay style.

Example

SEE SHOTGUNS SECTION

All Lv. 100 Machine Pistols: Capacity Upgrade +30

Example

All Lv. 100 Assault Rifles: Capacity Upgrade +30

DO NOT use the High Roller for LRC events, it’s firing rate is too slow to keep a steady and effective burn rate.

***The 6th part can be anything that will assist you in continuous firing. (firing rate, quick load, full burst, etc)

Example

All firing rate tagged Lv. 100 Sniper Rifles: Capacity Upgrade +30
*SEE FIRING RATE SECTION FOR FURTHER DETAIL ON FIRING RATE*

Electric setups require high level to max level damage and capacity parts to be effective. At least level 18 for damage and level 15 for capacity.

***For an Anti-Materiel Rifle the 6th part can be long range because it’s firepower can make up for the reduced close range damage due to using long range parts.

Example

All firing rate tagged Lv. 100 Magnums: Capacity Upgrade +30
*SEE FIRING RATE SECTION FOR FURTHER DETAIL ON FIRING RATE*

DO NOT use the Pale Rider for LRC events

Electric setups require high level to max level damage and capacity parts to be effective. At least level 18 for damage and level 15 for capacity.

***If you have a [Short Range] or [Short Range+] magnum you can use close range in the 6th slot.

Example

Level-Restricted Challenge Lv. 100

The usual level 100 LRC setup consist of 3 shotguns (see shotgun section for setups) and a force pistol or magnum (see force ammo and weapons section for setups).

Skill setups will vary based on the stage but the most common sub-weapons are electric bottles, ice bottles, rocket launcher and bewilder.

-***Ironhead *8* can be used to kill the remaining enemies once he spawns. Use a shock weapon to electrocute the enemy before he attacks and he will most likey survive the exploding enemies.

-You will most likely run out of electric bottles, so use a fast non-homing support gun for solo electrocution (see screenshot 5).

-Force ammo is optional.

-The blue nitrogen tanks can only instant kill Ironheads, use at least 1x shock before shooting the tank.

-If the first Ironhead (spawn #2) is a healer and/or tank JUST RESTART.
