A tool designed to estimate the amount of harm inflicted on enemies within the Fallout 76 game environment based on a variety of factors. These factors can include weapon statistics, player attributes, perk card bonuses, armor penetration values, and enemy resistances. It allows players to theoretically predict the outcome of combat engagements before they occur in-game. For example, a player could input the statistics of a specific weapon, the bonuses provided by their character’s Strength attribute and associated perk cards, and the damage resistance of a particular enemy type to calculate the expected damage output per hit.
Such instruments are useful for optimizing character builds and weapon loadouts, maximizing combat effectiveness. By using it, players can make informed decisions about which perks to prioritize, which weapons to craft or acquire, and which strategies to employ against different enemy types. The use of these resources has evolved alongside the game itself, adapting to changes in game mechanics, new weapon additions, and adjustments to perk card effects. This process contributes significantly to players’ comprehension of underlying damage calculation mechanics.
