Assumptions
- Every shot hits. Body shots meet body armor without a crit; aiming at the head makes every shot a crit that meets head armor, which is why the headshot column is faster here.
- Base health from the enemy preset; difficulty health scaling, talents and buffs are not included. Armor keeps its full value for the whole fight.
- Within half the bullet distance. Each emptied magazine adds the gun's full reload time. Explosive weapons are excluded.
Method
Every gun is tried with every round of its caliber. Damage per hit = gun damage × round multiplier ÷ pellets × (crit factor on headshots) × 2 ÷ (armor − AP + 2) × the boss's physical damage factor; hits = health ÷ damage per shot, rounded up; time = (hits − 1) ÷ fire rate plus reloads. Rules: src/rules/escape-from-duckov/damage.mjs, read from the game's Health.cs and ItemAgent_Gun.cs (October 2025 build; not yet re-read on 2.3.30). Round values from the Bilibili Duckov wiki, armor values from the game item data.
