Inputs
Calculation
Vests are the most significant variable in PUBG gunfights.
All calculations are based on verified data extracted from PUBG Patch 41.2 game files. We cross-reference values with in-game testing to ensure 99.9% accuracy for competitive play.
Headshots receive a 2.35x multiplier (ARs/LMGs/DMRs) or 2.5x multiplier (SRs) or 2.0x multiplier (SMGs). Limbs bypass vest armor reductions and receive a flat limbMultiplier (0.9x to 1.1x).
Level 1 armor reduces damage by 30%. Level 2 reduces damage by 40%. Level 3 reduces damage by 55%. Armor durability wear is not simulated in the basic damage per shot model.
| Weapon Name | Type | Base Damage | Fire Rate (RPM) | Max DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACE32 | Assault Rifle | 43 | 638 | 457 |
| AKM | Assault Rifle | 44 | 779 | 571 |
| AUG | Assault Rifle | 42 | 676 | 473 |
| AWM | Sniper Rifle | 109 | 30 | 55 |
| Beryl M762 | Assault Rifle | 43 | 789 | 565 |
| DBS | Shotgun | 25 | 100 | 42 |
Sandbox variables have been updated to match active variables for patch 41.2. Balance revisions affecting range scaling limits are applied globally.
"Level 3 Helmets (e.g. Spetsnaz Helmet) are critical against SRs (Kar98k/M24) because they reduce damage by 55%, preventing one-shot headshot eliminations."
"The Beryl M762 yields superior close-range DPS over the M416 but requires precise recoil pull down, making it optimal for competitive entry fraggers."
