DPS Calculator
Damage per second, or DPS, is the number that decides which weapon or build actually kills faster, and it is more than raw hit damage because fire rate and critical hits change everything. This calculator combines your damage per hit, your attacks per second, your critical hit chance, and your critical damage multiplier into a single effective DPS figure using the expected value of each hit. It also shows your average damage per hit after crits and your raw non crit DPS, so you can see exactly how much crit is contributing. That makes it easy to compare a slow hard hitting weapon against a fast crit focused one, or to test whether a crit chance upgrade beats a flat damage boost. All calculations run locally in your browser with nothing sent to a server, so tune your build, plug in the numbers, and let the math tell you which loadout truly outputs more damage over time.
How to use DPS Calculator
- Enter the damage per hit.
- Enter the fire rate in shots per second.
- Enter crit chance and crit multiplier.
- Read the average DPS with crits factored in.
Frequently asked questions
How is damage per second calculated here?
It multiplies hit damage by fire rate to get raw DPS, then factors in crit chance and crit multiplier to give an average sustained damage per second.
How does crit chance change the average DPS?
The tool blends normal and critical hits by weighting them: average hit damage is base damage times (1 plus crit chance times (crit multiplier minus 1)).
Can I compare two weapon builds with it?
Yes, run the numbers for each build separately and the higher DPS output tells you which loadout deals more sustained damage.
