Editing Weapon Damage

'''Weapon Damage''' is a stat that increases [[Bullet Damage]], Light [[Melee Damage]], and Heavy Melee Damage.

== Headshots ==
Aiming for the head will deal increased damage. [[Troopers]], [[Guardians]], and [[Heroes]] have a weakpoint hitbox that receives approximately double base bullet damage when hit by a weapon. {{HeroIcon|Seven}} receives reduced incoming headshot damage.

Several items have effects that proc on headshots, such as {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}}, {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}, and {{ItemIcon|Crippling Headshot}}.

== Math ==
The formula for weapon damage is: <math>x_f = x_i * (1 + \sum_{i=1}^n \text{Shop Bonus} + \sum_{i=1}^n \text{BaseAttackDamagePercent} + \sum_{i=1}^n \text{Golden Statues})</math><br/><!--this is missing damage dropoff and bullet resist calc -->
where:<br/>
<math>
\begin{align}
  x_f &= \text{final weapon damage,} \\
  x_i &= \text{initial weapon damage,} \\
  Shop Bonus &= \text{Increase based on the tier,} \\
  BaseAttackDamagePercent &= \text{weapon damage value,} \\
  Golden Statues &= \text{Golden Statue value}
\end{align}
</math>

== Sources ==
All [[Weapon|weapon items]] implicitly provide weapon damage based on tier, represented as "Shop Bonuses" in the ingame stats calculation. Tier 1 items provide +6%, Tier 2 items provide +10%, Tier 3 items provide +14%, and Tier 4 items provide +18%. The following items explicitly grant increased weapon damage:

<!-- Monster rounds not on the table. adding it means adding custom text for the stat-is it worth the trouble?-->
