What this number means
Expected primary-target DPS (before enemy armor) includes weapon base damage, the listed scaling coefficients, % Damage, weapon and player crit chance, projectile count, shooting duration, and steady-state mean cooldown. It assumes every projectile aimed at the primary target connects.
It excludes enemy armor, weapon-set damage bonuses, later pierce or bounce targets, melee area targets, misses, overkill, burning, explosions, spawned projectiles, on-hit effects, and weapon-scripted damage changes. The chain figure is separate and assumes enough distinct targets for every listed bounce and pierce. Neither figure is “actual DPS.”

Same computation, read by weapon
Where Chain Gun is a notable outlier
This reads the character rankings the other way: which characters can’t equip Chain Gun at all, and which ones its computed rank moves materially away from the generic, zero-bonus order. Same comparison each character page uses — default 10 Max HP, zero other bonus stats, weapons at their highest usable tier, before enemy armor; full stated assumptions are on each character’s own page.
