Exact discrete change after the game’s truncation and rounding steps—not a smoothed estimate.

Ideal maximum-chain DPS (before enemy armor) 94.74 2 distinct targets per projectile; enough valid targets assumed.

What Grenade Launcher does that its DPS does not count

The DPS figure on this page measures direct damage to one target. Grenade Launcher also carries the following, and none of it is in that figure. These are stated, not quantified: an amount the game itself declares is quoted as it stands, and no DPS is computed for a channel this site has not modelled.

Explosion damage Damage the ranking does not count
Hits produce an explosion. Explosion damage is not in the DPS figure.

Metric boundary

What this number means

Expected primary-target DPS (before enemy armor) includes weapon base damage, the listed scaling coefficients, % Damage, weapon and player crit chance, projectile count, shooting duration, and steady-state mean cooldown. It assumes every projectile aimed at the primary target connects.

It excludes enemy armor, weapon-set damage bonuses, later pierce or bounce targets, melee area targets, misses, overkill, burning, explosions, spawned projectiles, on-hit effects, and weapon-scripted damage changes. The chain figure is separate and assumes enough distinct targets for every listed bounce and pierce. Neither figure is “actual DPS.”

Every figure here is measured with one equipped weapon. A character page ranks this same weapon inside that character’s own loadout, at the weapon-slot count that character starts with, and that count changes the steady-state cycle — so the same tier can show a different DPS there. Each character page states the count its figures use.

Characters that can start with Grenade Launcher

No character’s starting weapon pool offers Grenade Launcher, so no character can open a run holding it. Every run that uses it has to acquire it after the run has started.

Same computation, read by weapon

Where Grenade Launcher is a notable outlier

This reads the character rankings the other way: which characters can’t equip Grenade Launcher at all, and which ones its computed rank moves materially away from the generic, zero-bonus order. Same comparison each character page uses — default 10 Max HP, zero other bonus stats, weapons at their highest usable tier, before enemy armor; full stated assumptions are on each character’s own page.
