Build Calculation

Projectile Fragments and Original Targets

When Build Analysis produces projectile damage, it does not count fragments as additional hits on the target initially struck.

Input data

Read the projectile record's minimum and maximum fragment counts, then use the initially hit target ID as input.

Calculation process

  • An integer fragment count is chosen uniformly from the minimum through maximum values.
  • The impact target ID is registered in every fragment's known-target list.
  • Known targets are excluded from the fragment collision candidates.
  • Hits on other nearby targets depend on layout and collision geometry, so no fixed additional-hit count is used.
Expected fragment count = (minimum fragment count + maximum fragment count) / 2
Additional fragment hits on original target = 0
Original-target total damage multiplier (including fragments) = 1.0

Output values

Output item Calculation Output
Expected fragment count Minimum 2, maximum 4: (2 + 4) / 2 3 fragments on average
Additional hits on original target Exclude from fragment known targets after the initial hit 0
Original-target total damage multiplier One original projectile hit + zero additional fragment hits 1.0

Published game data is 1.3.0.6. The binary evidence for original-target exclusion was inspected in 1.3.0.4 and has not been re-audited against the 1.3.0.6 binary.
