COMPARE CORRECTLY

Use the same enemy and level.

When comparing two weapons, keep level, upgrade, and enemy constant. A higher single-hit number does not guarantee faster kills when attack speed, armor, and magazine behavior differ.

DPS Calculator FAQ

How is Survive Zombie Arena DPS calculated?

The calculator multiplies modeled damage per hit by attack speed, then applies the selected enemy modifier. Level and upgrade multipliers are shown as model inputs. Reloads, missed shots, class passives, and live patch modifiers are excluded.

Which weapon has the best DPS?

The answer changes with level, upgrade, enemy, range, and class synergy. Compare the effective DPS and kill time rather than raw damage alone.

Should I upgrade a weapon with higher raw DPS?

Not automatically. A weapon can lose practical value through reload time, short range, missed attacks, or poor class synergy. Test the same enemy and level, then verify the resource cost in the Upgrade Calculator.
