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. Seven receives reduced incoming headshot damage.

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

Math

The formula for weapon damage is: $x_{f}=x_{i}*(1+\sum _{i=1}^{n}{\text{Shop Bonus}}+\sum _{i=1}^{n}{\text{BaseAttackDamagePercent}}+\sum _{i=1}^{n}{\text{Golden Statues}})$
where:
${\begin{aligned}x_{f}&={\text{final weapon damage,}}\\x_{i}&={\text{initial weapon damage,}}\\ShopBonus&={\text{Increase based on the tier,}}\\BaseAttackDamagePercent&={\text{weapon damage value,}}\\GoldenStatues&={\text{Golden Statue value}}\end{aligned}}$
