Real Dps Calculator The Division

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

In The Division 2, your weapon's Real DPS (Damage Per Second) is a crucial metric for evaluating how effective your firearm is in combat. Unlike nominal DPS, which doesn't account for real-world factors, Real DPS considers your weapon's actual damage output, fire rate, and modifiers. This calculator helps you determine your weapon's true damage output so you can make informed decisions about your loadout.

What is Real DPS?

Real DPS (Damage Per Second) is a more accurate measure of a weapon's effectiveness than nominal DPS. While nominal DPS simply divides the weapon's damage by its fire rate, Real DPS accounts for:

  • The weapon's actual damage output
  • Fire rate modifiers from skills and gear
  • Damage multipliers from abilities and buffs
  • Any other modifiers that affect damage output

Understanding Real DPS helps you determine which weapons will deal the most damage in a given time period, allowing you to optimize your loadout for maximum effectiveness.

How to Calculate Real DPS

Calculating Real DPS involves several steps to account for all the factors that affect your weapon's damage output. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Determine your weapon's base damage
  2. Apply any damage multipliers from abilities or buffs
  3. Calculate the effective fire rate considering any modifiers
  4. Divide the total damage by the effective fire rate to get Real DPS

Important Note

Real DPS calculations can vary based on your specific build, skills, and gear. The calculator provides an estimate based on the inputs you provide.

Real DPS Formula

Real DPS Formula

Real DPS = (Base Damage × Damage Multiplier) ÷ (Fire Rate ÷ Fire Rate Modifier)

The formula accounts for:

  • Base Damage: The weapon's damage without any modifiers
  • Damage Multiplier: Any buffs or abilities that increase damage
  • Fire Rate: The weapon's base rate of fire
  • Fire Rate Modifier: Any buffs or abilities that increase fire rate

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the Real DPS for a weapon with the following stats:

  • Base Damage: 45
  • Damage Multiplier: 1.2 (from a skill)
  • Fire Rate: 600 RPM (0.1 shots per second)
  • Fire Rate Modifier: 1.1 (from a buff)

Using the formula:

Calculation

Real DPS = (45 × 1.2) ÷ (600 ÷ 1.1) = 54 ÷ 545.45 ≈ 0.099 DPS

This means the weapon deals approximately 0.099 damage per second with these modifiers.

FAQ

Why is my Real DPS different from nominal DPS?

Real DPS accounts for all modifiers that affect your weapon's damage output, including skills, gear, and abilities, while nominal DPS only considers base stats.

How do I improve my Real DPS?

Improve your Real DPS by investing in skills and gear that increase damage or fire rate, and by using abilities that provide temporary buffs.

Does Real DPS account for armor penetration?

No, Real DPS only calculates raw damage output. Armor penetration affects how much of that damage actually reaches the enemy.
