Mods not correct math

[(PSN)Pluckie1609Ducky]

Help! The math is sooo off for the javlok for primed fast hands!! The original reload speed is 2.2, with primed fast hands (55% maxed out) it is 1.4, with fast hand (30% maxed out) it is 1.7. How do those numbers come out?! I mean there are other mods that are off but this one ! Can anyone show me how that worked out?

um well is the issue that you arent happy with how fast the reload speed is or do u not understand the concept of how the reload speed math works?

Apparently I don't understand the math. Because if you take 55% of 2.2, you should get .99, so how do you get 1.4?

Maybe 1,4 is the max reload speed for javlok?

This is a common player misconception. The mods don't reduce reload time, they increase reload speed with the following formula:

Reload time = base time / (1 + mod reload speed bonus)

So with OP's example:

Primed - 2.2/(1+.55)=1.419

Fast hands - 2.2/(1+.30)=1.69

Don't max out Primed Fast Hands, ever. It's not worth the investment.

Thank you both very much! I wish I had known that before 😒

That just is so backwards from what I would even think... 

why is it done this way? Do either of you know?

To be fair, it is listed as reload speed instead of reload time. We just automatically assume it's the latter.

Quite a few games do it this way if I recall, or at the very least it isn't as uncommon as you would think.
