Red Crit

[Ninjamander]

What are they? How they work? After playing Warframe for so long I'm still unsure what they are and how to get them.

Some people told me is basically a critical shot inside your critical shot? (critical build weapon with over 100% for example), other told me it depend if you hit a enemy weak-spot and other say is related to Warframe ability.

 

I am honestly lost and I was wondering if anyone in this forum know about those and how they work.

 

I apologize for my grammar in advance, English is not my native language =/

If you have a crit chance over 100% you can get red crits.

 

125% crit chance means you have a 100% chance to crit and a 25% chance to red crit. AFAIK there's only a few weapons that can do it.

[Melos-mevim]

its basically just the percentage above 100%, and just like normal crits if you hit a weak spot on an opponent (like the head) you have a higher crit chance.

[Angius]

Every crit chance over 100% gives you a chance for a red crit.

125% Crip chance = 100% chance for a crit + 25% chance for a red crit

[Elvang]

Currently, its a 'rare' critical, as you said, over 100%.

 

It used to be different, and thats part of the conflicting information.

[Ninjamander]

Thanks for all the reply! Very appreciated!

pretty much any weapon that has a base crit chance of 50% will have a 125% crit with a maxed point strike....like the dread.

[Agullimux]

Any weapon that can use point strike and have natural 40% crit chance has chance for red crit.
40+40*1,5=100% crit chance

 

If you use crical delay with point strike , natural 33 is not enough for 100% :L

x+x*1,5+x*0,48=100% crit ?
Don't have calculator next to me.
34+34*1,5+34*0,48=101.32

 

not much weapons :

^ u forgot the 50% crit of the amprex on every bullet @@

 

so .. i dont think the red crit appear anywhere else but weapon with 100%+ crit chance. All other like head-shot or banshee skill is still a yellow crit, just a multiplier on damage deal. But sure that use a red crit weap+ banshee skill +headshot = insant damage number @@

Specifically the damage done by a red crit has twice the damage bonus of a yellow crit.

 

For example, if you had a 4.4x modifier, (which is really +3.4x damage on a yellow crit) a red crit will do 7.8x base damage.

Because i'm sometimes ignorant i though  i had 8,8x and wondered where dmg disappears.

Always though resist and dmg negation thing affected dmg that much on low levels also. x.x

[Darzk]

You can think of it as (4.4 * 2) -1, the -1 because the base damage doesn't double again.

I like to think of it as 1+3.4+3.4, etc adding the critical bonus again.

 

Either way gets you to 7.8x

 

All damage mitigation and amplification on a crit is the same as a non-crit, with the addition that critical headshots gain the multiplier twice, dealing 4x instead of 2x damage. This bonus is not compounded on red-crits (it's still 4x).
