KF2 Weapon DPS and Damage per Dosh Tables

This guide compares Killing Floor 2 weapons with two numbers: DPS (damage per second you deal with the weapon) and DPD (damage per dosh, the damage you get for the dosh spent on ammo). DPS shows the raw potential of a weapon, while DPD shows whether it is cost efficient. A second contributor joined the author later, and the data was updated several times through 2017. The guide is marked outdated, so use it for relative comparison rather than as exact current values.

What the numbers do not cover

• Splash damage of explosive weapons, because it hits several targets and drops off with distance from the blast.
• Firebug weapons, whose damage over time depends on the base damage and on post-firing (the burn that continues after you stop shooting).
• Penetration. A weapon that hits several Zeds with one shot is more efficient than its table value shows.

Marks used below: "+" means extra damage from splash hits on other Zeds, "++" means a lot more extra damage (huge radius, strong poison or fire damage over time).

Notes on specific weapons

• Pulverizer gets a "+" because of splash damage.
• Hemogoblin: "++" marks heavy poison damage per bullet; it depends on where you hit, so it cannot be calculated exactly.
• C4: the DPS cannot be calculated. Detonating several charges within 3 seconds reduces each explosion by 25 percent, and waiting 3 seconds makes the rate of fire unclear.
• Seeker Six: its DPS looks inflated because it is calculated without reload time, while the other Demolitionist weapons include reload.
• Caulk n' Burn and Flamethrower: post-firing raises damage per dosh by about 125 percent, the Microwave Gun by about 166 percent. Caulk n' Burn is also cheaper to sell and rebuy than to refill once you have used roughly 125 ammo.
• Spitfire has no post-firing, but afterburn and a 33 percent chance of a residual flame give it extra damage.
• Gunslinger: ammo cost does not double when dual wielding (the magazine size doubles, so you buy twice as much at a time), and dual pistols sell for one dosh less than usual.
• Survivalist: only the Freezethrower had data at the time.
