Armor

A full set of T3 pieces (head, chest and legs) with the armor mastery at level 6. Green: the damage type the set resists best; orange: the one it resists worst. The mastery bonus counts once per set and only with the three pieces of the same class, as the game app calculates.

Weapon against armor

Expected damage per turn of each T3 weapon class (mastery 6) against each T3 armor set (mastery 6), with the best ammo for each target, at the optimal range and without perks or terrain. Green: the set that takes the most; orange: the one that takes the least.

Hit chance

Two ten-sided dice plus accuracy must beat the defense: 6 plus the defense modifiers of the target's armor. Two tens are always a critical hit, and so is beating the defense by 10 or more; a critical multiplies the damage by 1.5 before the armor.

Terrain

Terrain counts only for players, never for the enemies: a damage bonus or penalty for some weapon classes and cover armor against every damage type. The Parkour and All Terrain perks ignore the penalties.

Mastery bonuses

What each mastery adds up to each level (highlighted: the level where it goes up), read from the skill level descriptions of the game. Weapon masteries also unlock the weapon tiers (tier 2 at level 4, tier 3 at level 7).

Critical hit
two tens, or 10 over the defense; damage ×1.5
Turn

Range penalty
−4 accuracy beyond the optimal range, −6 closer than the minimum; no hit beyond the maximum
Damage
a roll in the weapon's (melee) or ammo's range plus mastery, minus the target's armor for that damage type; at least 1
Armor
