Used to think I built my weapons pretty good, but since this new mod system I can't seem to get the same damage I used to. I know the base stats of weapons have taken a hit, and upgrades like Caliber don't give nearly as much as it used to. I've tried playing around with different mod upgrades but I don't really feel like I'm actually doing more damage.
By my math it actually seems like we're only adding maybe 7% when all the math is done on these new advanced features. -18% effective damage but 21% extra when hitting from behind doesn't actually add much to our damage from my understanding.
So then my question is this, am I missing something? Am I supposed to combine multiple advanced features to get better damage now? Or is it pointless to bother trying to boost damage through upgrades now and I should just think of this as the old days where we only had base stats on weapons?
