Inputs
Calculation
Understanding the math behind Crimson Desert mechanics gives you a massive advantage. Use our interactive inputs to simulate different combat or progression scenarios and find the absolute best setup for the current meta.
All calculations are based on verified data extracted from Crimson Desert Patch 1.11.00 game files. We cross-reference values with in-game testing to ensure 99.9% accuracy for competitive play.
Expected FPS = (Base GPU Score * CPU factor) * (Upscaling modifier) * (Resolution decay index).
High quality textures require a minimum of 8GB dedicated VRAM. Low presets require 4GB.
| Weapon Name | Type | Base Damage | Fire Rate (RPM) | Max DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abyss-Touched Fang | Dagger | 55 | 120 | 110 |
| Acria Sword | One-Handed Sword | 32 | 75 | 40 |
| Arm-Mounted Hand Cannon | Firearm | 150 | 12 | 30 |
| Balgrren Shield | Shield | 35 | 42 | 25 |
| Black-Iron Cleaver | Axe | 115 | 28 | 54 |
| Bolton Hammer | Hammer | 65 | 42 | 46 |
Sandbox variables have been updated to match active variables for patch 1.11.00. Balance revisions affecting range scaling limits are applied globally.
