What Taser does that its DPS does not count

The DPS figure on this page measures direct damage to one target. Taser 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.

Slow zone Battlefield control the ranking does not count
Creates a zone that slows enemies. Not damage, and 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.

Same computation, read by weapon

Where Taser is a notable outlier

This reads the character rankings the other way: which characters can’t equip Taser 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.
