Two separate computed views

Opening pool and across-run DPS

“Your opening pick” compares the starting pool with one weapon equipped, each family at the tier the pool actually offers it. “Across the whole run” compares every usable family at its highest usable tier.

Starting choices and grants

Choose one unlocked entry from a normalized maximum pool of 9. A save’s visible pool can be smaller because unlock state and active DLC alter it.

Base stat deltas

No loadout-independent direct base stat deltas.

No full wave-one stat vector is published.

It changes with the loadout: Automatic weapon plus selected weapon can activate set bonuses. The ranking below uses only the fixed base deltas and its stated comparison context.

Your opening pick · pool-limited view

Starting-pool DPS at Tier I

This answers the first weapon-choice comparison. The across-run ranking below answers a separate question across every usable weapon family.

The normalized maximum starting-weapon pool contains 9 families. A save can display fewer because only unlocked entries appear, and active DLC can alter the pool.

Reading this list: all eligible pool entries are compared together because the opening selection is choose-one. Each value is expected direct primary-target DPS with one weapon equipped, at the tier that family’s own starting-pool record declares.

How the opening-pool ranking is computed

This character’s starting-weapon pool, each family at its own pool-record tier, and 1 equipped weapon. Default 10 Max HP and zero other default combat stats; no bonus stats beyond Wildling’s fixed direct base deltas. Stat-gain factors, matching character weapon-set or weapon-type bonuses, and equipment-linked effects are applied through the shared damage calculation. The equipment context is 1 equipped weapon, 1 unique weapon family, 0 duplicate items, and a Tier I or Tier IV weapon counter set from the entry’s own tier; item, material, structure, and pet counters are 0.

The target is not cursed, burning, or a boss. Every attack or projectile aimed at the primary target connects, and DPS is before enemy armor. Explosions, burning, spawned attacks, and later pierce or bounce targets are outside this metric.

Across the whole run · all usable families

Ranked by computed DPS for this character

Unlike the opening-pool view, this uses every usable weapon family at its highest usable tier and the full stated weapon-count context. 0 weapons change position versus the generic order.

This order is identical to the generic, no-character ranking.

Wildling declares no direct weapon-damage effect, so nothing shifts the generic order.

Reading the Wildling-specific column: ↑ 5 = 5 places higher in this character’s ranking than in the generic, zero-bonus ranking; ↓ 5 = 5 places lower; — = same place. “generic #N” is the weapon’s rank with no character bonuses applied.

“Other-weapon DPS” on a row: that family writes a stat into your player stats when it is equipped, and every other weapon you carry reads the same stat block. The figure counts how many of the 61 other families Wildling can use compute a different DPS while it is carried, then names the largest single change. Each family is measured on its own under this ranking’s assumptions and this character’s stat-gain factors, so those are independent results rather than one loadout, and they differ by family — the largest is stated as the largest, not as a rate they share. The row’s own DPS above does not include the write.

How this ranking is computed

Default 10 Max HP and zero other default combat stats; no bonus stats beyond Wildling’s direct base deltas; 6 equipped weapons from distinct families; the listed weapon is at its highest tier this character can use. Other equipped weapons are assumed Tier II or III. Item, material, structure, pet, and duplicate-item counters are 0 unless a note below says otherwise.

The target is not cursed, burning, or a boss. Every attack or projectile aimed at the primary target connects. DPS is before enemy armor. Character-local weapon bonuses and the stated equipment counters are applied through the calculator’s staged truncation, rounding, and timing rules.

Life Steal is outside direct primary-target DPS, so the Primitive local Life Steal bonus does not change these values.

Metric boundary

What the across-run ranking does not claim

The lists compare expected direct damage to one primary target per second. They do not combine melee with ranged, and they do not model enemy armor, target density, positioning, closing distance, survivability, misses or spread, overkill, explosions, burning, spawned attacks, later pierce or bounce targets, or conditional target bonuses. Those omitted factors can change results observed during a run.
