Damage Range Chart (Main Chart)
The interactive chart above shows how weapon damage varies with distance and victim armor. Select different helmets and vests to see how armor affects damage to different body parts. Toggle hit zones (Head, Torso, Arm, Leg, etc.) to compare damage values. The "Current configuration" banner shows your selected setup.
This feature is in beta. We collect and analyze millions of telemetry events from PUBG matches daily to bring you the most accurate weapon statistics possible.
What you should know:
- Missing data points: If you see gaps in the chart, it means we don't have enough sample data in that distance bucket yet to show it confidently.
- Unusual values: Some values may appear unexpected as we continue to refine our analysis algorithms and collect more data.
- Continuous improvement: Our data collection and processing systems are constantly being improved to provide better accuracy.
