Splash damge vs weapon damage

Let’s say I’m using one splash damage weapon. If u had a mod that added 30% weapon damage and a mod that added 30% splash damage would the damage output be the same?

And the answer is.

With absolutely no other damage boosts active, yes they would be exactly the same. However that’s unrealistic, generally you have a few other boosts active.

Weapon Damage will generally be worse as it stacks with all skills that say ‘Gun Damage’ whereas splash is seldom boosted by skills. You always want the boost that has had the least added to it.

So an example where you have 20% gun damage from skills. If you equip your 30% weapon damage your total damage is

20% + 30% = 50%

Whereas if you equipped splash instead your total damage is:

20% x 30% = 56%
