Dual Weapons As/dmg

[n1ohoggr]

Hi dear community,

 

First of all, I apologize for my poor English, it's not my native language and as a French person, I have the reputation to have awful skills in other languages that mine ;). Don't hesitate to correct me if something's wrong. 

 

Joking aside, I'm gathering raw data to analyse it in order to determine what are the best loadouts according to the situation/the faction you face and share this with the community on the wiki to help people to have a better understanding of the game mechanics. But my knowledge of this game is not as developped as I want to be.

 

Today, I'm trying to understand the dual weapon mechanic and especially the stats (Dmg/Speed) which are given in the game/the codex.

Do you know if these stats apply to :

* only one of the two weapons (so you have to double (in theory) the AS or the Dmg (no matter the DPS will remain unchanged ((Dmg * 2) * AS = Dmg * (AS * 2))) to get the real DPS of this dual weapon

* the whole

 

The most logical choice and my assumption is that the stats only apply to one of the two weapons so you have to multiply the AS (or the Dmg) by a multiplier between 1 and 2 (a muitiplier which has to be determined).

 

I will be most grateful to enlighten me.

Have a nice day.

To understand the damage output of a dual weapon, all you have to do is treat it as its own weapon. The listed values for a dual weapon are not multiplied in any way.
