Tier I starting-pool DPS

This answers the first weapon-choice comparison. The across-run ranking below answers a separate question across every usable weapon family.

The normalized maximum starting-weapon pool contains 12 families. A save can display fewer because only unlocked entries appear, and active DLC can alter the pool.

Reading this list: all eligible pool entries are compared together because the opening selection is choose-one. Each value is expected direct primary-target DPS at Tier I with one weapon equipped.

How the opening-pool ranking is computed

Tier I, this character’s starting-weapon pool, and 1 equipped weapon. Default 10 Max HP and zero other default combat stats; no bonus stats beyond Sick’s fixed direct base deltas. Stat-gain factors, matching character weapon-set or weapon-type bonuses, and equipment-linked effects are applied through the shared damage calculation. The equipment context is 1 equipped weapon, 1 unique weapon family, 1 Tier I weapon, 0 Tier IV weapons, and 0 duplicate items; item, material, structure, and pet counters are 0.

The target is not cursed, burning, or a boss. Every attack or projectile aimed at the primary target connects, and DPS is before enemy armor. Explosions, burning, spawned attacks, and later pierce or bounce targets are outside this metric.

Wanted-tag roll

On a 5% conditional item roll, the pool is filtered to entries tagged Lifesteal when that filtered pool is non-empty.

Offer filters, with exceptions

Filtered entries

Items and item groups below are filtered out of normal pre-final shop and crate rolls; listed upgrades are rerolled in normal pre-final level-up choices. At the final-wave boundary and in endless, character filters are disabled. If filtering empties the candidate pool, generation can use an unfiltered backup pool. Upgrade rejection stops after 50 retries. These are offer filters, not ownership or use prohibitions, and item/group filters do not ban weapons.

Same item computation, read by character

Measured item outliers for Sick

Offer filtering is listed first, followed by higher and lower resolved direct-stat changes. The item-page calculation applies this character’s stat-gain factors to each item’s declared direct stat effects. A value group appears when the signed change is at least 50% of that item’s total absolute direct-stat magnitude.

Filtered from normal pre-final rolls

These items are filtered from normal pre-final shop and crate rolls. At the final-wave boundary and in endless, character filters are disabled. If filtering empties the candidate pool, generation can use an unfiltered backup pool, and upgrade rejection stops after 50 retries. These are offer filters, not ownership or use prohibitions.

Across the whole run · all usable families

Ranked by computed DPS for this character

Unlike the opening-pool view, this uses every usable weapon family at its highest usable tier and the full stated weapon-count context. 31 weapons change position versus the generic order.

Reading the Sick-specific column: ↑ 5 = 5 places higher in this character’s ranking than in the generic, zero-bonus ranking; ↓ 5 = 5 places lower; — = same place. “generic #N” is the weapon’s rank with no character bonuses applied.

How this ranking is computed

Default 10 Max HP and zero other default combat stats; no bonus stats beyond Sick’s direct base deltas; 6 equipped weapons from distinct families; the listed weapon is at its highest tier this character can use. Other equipped weapons are assumed Tier II or III. Item, material, structure, pet, and duplicate-item counters are 0 unless a note below says otherwise.

The target is not cursed, burning, or a boss. Every attack or projectile aimed at the primary target connects. DPS is before enemy armor. Character-local weapon bonuses and the stated equipment counters are applied through the calculator’s staged truncation, rounding, and timing rules.

Metric boundary

What the across-run ranking does not claim

The lists compare expected direct damage to one primary target per second. They do not combine melee with ranged, and they do not model enemy armor, target density, positioning, closing distance, survivability, misses or spread, overkill, explosions, burning, spawned attacks, later pierce or bounce targets, or conditional target bonuses. Those omitted factors can change results observed during a run.
