As you can see in the picture, the iconic Overwatch Sniper Rifle seems to lose 20% Headshot Damage Multiplier and an unknown amount of effective Range when upgarded to Tier 5++

Any ideas why that is, or if it's supposed to be like that?
If it's supposed to be like that, is it possibly advantageous to not upgrade it?

    Idk why, it looks like it’s saying that range is reduced but it looks like the numbers are the same.

    It’s probably a glitch, the game is still little glitchy in some ways.

    617.6 damage at 5+ (193×3.2)

    645 damage at 5++ (215×3)

    After you upgraded it and equipped it does the headshot multiplier go back up to 320? Could be a perk or skill modifier to headshot damage that isn’t applied to the weapon until you equip it?

    Bigger question is why do the stat modifiers on Cyberware stop increasing? Many of them going from 5 to 5++ do absolutely nothing

    Range doesn’t change, indicator there is meaningless. Weird about Headshot Multiplier for sure.

    In microeconomy we try to calculate our gains to decide what is the most efficient point to stop consuming something/at what point our gains are the most efficient. This is something similar; total amount of gain you have is the same but just the amount of effort you spend (in this case upgrade level) changed. Total amount of range doesn’t change, you are just mathematically putting more effort to get to the same result. Does player need to know this? No but there are attachments that affect range so it’s a variable so the code just shows it.

    reference to the overwatch games, how overwatch 2 sucked ass compared to overwatch 1

    On my first play through I upgraded comrades hammer to like 800dmg 😆

    Balance. It’s still a net upgrade, it would just be unreasonably OP with a flat upgrade

    Because Marvel Rivals just released

    the +20% headshot from Focus and Deadeye perks doesn’t properly display on the upgrade screen, it will still get it after the upgrade

    same thing happens with cyberware modifiers with their relevant perks

    Is your scope giving you an extra 20% headshot multi? It just might not be showing it on the upgrade if so

  13. DarthGodEmperor

    That’s what it says cuz it’s maxed and not going up

    This has been a bug in the game since forever. It’s purely visual, because it’s not accounting for all the bonuses. Definitely still upgrade

    Is it possible to Upgrade weapons??? 🫣😅
