Damage Multiplier Curve

What it is

A global damage multiplier applied on top of every weapon’s per-stat damage. It reaches roughly 7.5× baseline at level 20, replacing what would otherwise be a flat linear scale topping out near 2-3×. The multiplier applies to damage only — fire rate, range, and other stats keep their own per-weapon scaling.

The curve

The multiplier is piecewise-linear, interpolated between fixed anchor levels.

Level	Multiplier
1	1.00×
4	1.25×
8	2.00×
12	3.00×
16	5.00×
20	7.50×

Low-level buff

A bundled additive buff lifts early-game weapons so they feel impactful before the mid-tier curve takes over. It starts at +30% at level 1 and decays linearly by 5 percentage points per level, reaching 0% at level 7 and staying there for all higher levels. The buff stacks multiplicatively with the global multiplier above.

Level	Buff	Multiplier
1	+30%	1.30×
2	+25%	1.25×
3	+20%	1.20×
4	+15%	1.15×
5	+10%	1.10×
6	+5%	1.05×
7+	0%	1.00×

Final damage formula

damage = base × scaling-curve × global-multiplier × low-level-buff × horizontal-damage-modifier

• base — the weapon’s base damage stat.
• scaling-curve — per-weapon level scaling (see scaling-curves).
• global-multiplier — the L1-to-L20 curve in the table above.
• low-level-buff — the +30%-decaying-to-0% early-game buff above.
• horizontal-damage-modifier — the damage horizontal contribution (see combat).
