So How Does Critical Strike Work?

[Kultunas 3]

My current mod for my rifle grants me 125% critical strike chance. Yet I'm still not getting a critical strike every shot. in fact, it still seems to happen only every few shots, hovering at about 80-70% chance at level, yet at lower levels is critically striking each shot.

 

In this regard, do enemies have a Critical Strike Resistance stat, and how can one calculate that?

[Darzk 2,826]

+Critical Strike % increases the percentage of critical strikes, not the chance of crits... that confusing, here;

 

Crit chance = base crit * Crit chance mod

 

So if your rifle has 20% crit chance, with the +125% crit chance mod you`ll have 20%*225% = 45% chance to crit.

The mod is based on the weapons base critical chance %, it's not a flat increase. Yes, the description can be misleading.

The mod with +crit chance works multiplicatively and not additively.

 

For example:

Your base crit chance is 5%. Now you apply a "+" 30% mod. This raises your crit chance by 1.5%, therefore you have a crit chance of 6.5%.

Is there a tab where we can see the base crit chances of every weapon?

None. That is one of the things I definitely want them to include in the next update. ATM I'm clueless as to the base crit chance of my Paris.
