Mcinfected Damage Reduction Calculations (Incl. Jugg and Riot Shield)

[Agent40]

Hey guys, so I've posted this "sheet" of calculations on the discord before however I thought it might be nice to create a thread so that the information would be easily accessed so basically, these are the damage reduction calculations for all perks that apply any sort of damage reduction as well as just the default damage reduction calculations. Hopefully this helps with your future decision making process in terms of deciding what perk to buy next!

Are you sure riot shield works additively with armour and isn't calculated after armour calculation? In which case it would only reduce 15/20% of the damage dealt after armour claculation, which would make it weaker.

No It's a straight additive. The damage calculations are done before the armour calculations take place and the riot shield damage reduction is a part of the damage calculations meaning It's an added 15/20%. Jack has confirmed this as well.
