  • Your maximum HP is calculated like this:

    ( MAX_HP = 100 + 3*END + 1*STR )

    Where END is your endurance level and STR is your strength level

  • The hit chance is calculated like this:

    ( HIT_CHANCE = PLAYER_AIMING - ENEMY_DODGE + DISTANCE )

    where:



    PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DISPLAYED NUMBER INDICATES AIMING FACTOR FOR CURRENTLY EQUIPPED ITEMS INCLUDING CURRENTLY USED WEAPON!
    Which means that after switching weapons it will change accordingly to the newly-equipped weapon.

    So your aiming it's calculated by this equation:

    ( PLAYER_AIMING = 50% + PER + GEAR_MODIFIERS + WEAPON_MODIFIER )


    Where:

    So:


    ( HIT_CHANCE = (50% - PER + GEAR_MODIFIERS + WEAPON_MODIFIER) - ENEMY_DODGE + DISTANCE )


    17. In-game buying
