Damage reduction calculation from the old forums

Does anybody have a link to this? Thanks.

No link, but I can paste what I used in an old spreadsheet

DR: =IF(G137<2;H141;IF(G137<6;0.1*(G137-1);(0.05*(G137-5))+0.4))
Armoured DR: =IF(G137<2;H141;IF(G137<6;(0.08*(G137-1))+0.2;(0.04*(G137-5))+0.52))

Where H141 is the damage done without damage reduction, and G137 is targetlevel - yourlevel

Thanks, Dot, but I was hoping for a thread explaining how it worked that I could link to in the various community guides and the Krieg skill guide.

I found something in the old forums in the Krieg Section in The Community Krieg Guide - All You Ever Wanted to Know Thread. Under Gameplay Mechanics, Breakdown of Gameplay Mechanics is something called Player Damage Reduction Stacking (by BucklingSwashes). I don’t know if that is what you are looking for. Unfortunately, clicking on the link http://oldforums.gearboxsoftware.com/oldforums/20150308092633/http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showpost.php?p=3502399&postcount=202 results in an error, even if you change it to the following: http://oldforums.gearboxsoftware.com/oldforums/20150308092633/http://oldforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showpost.php?p=3502399&postcount=202 .

Apparently, GBX did something when archiving the old forums that makes it impossible to visit the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc, page of a multi-page thread. If you think that post might be what you are looking for, perhaps one of the Moderators might have access and at least be able to send you a message with the relevant information? I also did a Google search, but did not find anything promising.

Thanks Poisd. The post I’m thinking of was about Sal’s DR formula, which I used to link to before the old forums went into archive. I was hoping someone might have that information so I could link to it again. I’ll keep looking though.

I found this (How Does Gunzerker Damage Reduction Stack?) on Reddit. Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but it does include a formula and brief explanation.
