DPS

Adding a "DPS" under the weapons name would be great and more useful other than just "Damage" and it would also help out beginners.

When fighting it will show you how much "DPS" you are dealing in the game, this could also be a great way of knowing which robot weapons fits better onto your robot instead looking for help.

"DPS" Can also be seen in the hangers under the robot and it would probably say "(Robot_Name) Deals (Damage Per Second) when Deployed" Something like that.

A player has to be sent in a lobby where he can deal almost the same amount of "DPS" Instead of Beginners with level 24 fighting players with Paid Items and making it completely unfair and you die 1 Shot, I believe players would love this feature and fight players on their own level instead of new weaklings like me.

Interesting idea, but dps is relative and not fixed. Defense points, shields, etc exist. A player can deal the same dps as you, but have insanely high defense points or a tough shield, and it also leaves much uncovered- drones, pilot skills, raw hp, modules etc. Matchmaking based on dps itself is not feasible. But I do agree with a general dps estimate (assuming 0 DP) of weapons

Yes, the way they display weapons' damage output is convoluted, and misleading for beginners. An actual DPS figure would be much more useful.

But, somehow, I expect that it suits them that people might waste time and resources acquiring and levelling weapons when they misunderstood their potential.
I think this for the same reason that I doubt they want people to easily understand the true difference in potential damage output on the battlefield; such as the real difference between a typical meta p2w, and a f2p setup.
Just my thoughts.

I mean the game should be more balanced towards the weapons because if you are skilled enough you could kill people with the same amount of dps even if they have insane bots but that would probably balance the game by a lot? I went across 2 different lobbies with people dealing over 50,000 DPS And let's not talk about those Titans.

That would be the correct way to display the weapon infos, tho it would make your jaw drop when comparing most stuff to the meta gear and ultimates… kinda hides the inbalance of things in a way sadly

I‘d love to see dps on my weapons

Prolly never getting it tho

You will not be able to kill someone with 200 dp even if they do the same dps as you. Many factors come into play when deciding on the total amount of damage that someone receives (abilities, dp, shields, etc) so dps wouldn't be an effective way to gauge 'fighting power', though its a way to gauge attack power
