Hi guys.
I am trying to understand the mechanics behind this and for what builds this perk is a viable option. So if you have any knowledge or tests on the topic please share them
Would be also great if a member of the dev team could shed some light on the following questions, when they have a free moment.
-Does this work for any damage dealt? Melee,guns,throwing,traps(lol),splash damage from grenades/rockets/40mm?
-Is the bonus damage added before the DR/DT substractions in damage calculations or after?
-If it's added before then it can be amplified by crits?
-If it works for bursts, the bonus applies for each bullet separately?
-What % of hp the enemy player needs to have for you gaining this 30% bonus?

The perk gives you up to 30% bonus damage to all attacks, for all weapons, even traps (but only if you are online at the moment the trap triggered). The extra damage is scaled linearly based on the amount of Hit Points that the target has before your attack. If the target is full HP, you get no bonus damage. If target is 0 HP, you get the full +30% damage. The exact formula:

BonusDmg (%) = 30 - targetCurrentHP*30/targetMaxHP

The bonus damage is added at the same time as the "Bonus Damage" weapon perk. It is applied before the "Bonus Ranged Damage" weapon perk. It is applied before DR and DT calculations. For bursts, the bonus is applied for each bullet separately. Bonus damage from critical strikes is also a multiplier of the base damage and since multiplication is commutative (in the ring of real numbers), the order that it's applied doesn't matter.
