Weapons Sick boosts most Computed from rules

Sick: ordered by how much Sick's modifiers raise each weapon's damage compared with a character without modifiers, then by damage per second; weapons Sick doesn't boost fall back to raw DPS. Reference profile: Sick's own stats plus 20 points bought in the weapon's main scaling stat, both multiplied by Sick's modifiers; one weapon, its highest tier, no items, single target, every projectile hits. 89 of 95 equippable weapons scale with a stat Sick can raise.

Assumptions and method

• Damage per hit = round(trunc(base + Σ stat × scaling) × (1 + %Damage/100 + class %Damage/100)); crits average in as chance × round(hit × multiplier). Formulas are datamined from the game code; weapon numbers come from the game-file tables.
• Cooldown is the tooltip value, which includes the attack animation. Reload weapons average the long cooldown over its shot count. Attack Speed divides the tooltip, an approximation: the game divides only the cooldown frames.
• Not modelled: pierce, bounce, explosion splash, knockback, on-hit and kill-count effects, structures, and how often the weapon actually reaches enemies. Multi-projectile weapons assume every projectile hits the same target, which favours shotguns.
