Damage Resistance

“Let's get started, shall we?”

This article is a stub. You can help the Deadlock Wiki by expanding it.

Damage Resistance refers to the Bullet and Spirit Resist statistics which reduce incoming damage taken.

Bullet Resist reduces all weapon (such as bullets/melee) damage, while Spirit Resist reduces all spirit damage.

Resistances from Power Increases seems to act strangely and requires more research.

Stacking Resistances

Resistances from multiple sources are multiplicative with each other.

${\mathit {DisplayedResist}}=1-(1-{\mathit {Resistance1}})*(1-{\mathit {Resistance2}})*...*(1-{\mathit {ResistanceN}})$

For example, multiple sources of Bullet Resist

• 60% Bullet Resist from Viscous' Goo Ball
• 40% Bullet Resist from the Colossus Item results in:

$1-(1-0.6)*(1-0.4)=76\%BulletResist$

Resistance Reduction

Resistance Reduction refers to any negative amount of Bullet Resist, making the target take increased damage. Though, it isn't applied in the same way.

Resistance Reduction is simply added (as negative numbers) from the otherwise final Resistance.

${\mathit {DisplayedResist}}=1-(1-{\mathit {Resistance1}})*(1-{\mathit {Resistance2}})*...*(1-{\mathit {ResistanceN}})+{\mathit {ResistanceReductions}}$

For example, using Bullet Resists and Reductions:

• 60% Bullet Resist from Viscous' Goo Ball
• 40% Bullet Resist from Colossus
• -5% Bullet Resist from Swift Striker
• -12% Bullet Resist from Bullet Resist Shredder

$1-(1-0.6)*(1-0.4)+(-0.05-0.12)=59\%BulletResist$

Graphs

Include graph of effective health as a function of Damage Reduction. In the mean time, feel free to refer to this Desmos graph.

Include graph of effective damage increase from using 15%, 30%, and 45% Resistance Reduction as a function of the target's original Damage Reduction. In the mean time, feel free to refer to this Desmos graph.
