Crit Chance

Crit Chance

Your weapons have an x% increased chance to deal a critical hit. The maximum chance is 100%, meaning every hit is a critical. If this is negative, the value is subtracted from your weapons base crit chance, to a minimum of 0% chance to critical hit.

Most weapons have a 3% base chance to deal a critical hit for 2x the damage. Some weapons have a higher critical hit damage multiplier such as Knife or a special effect such as Thief Dagger. For these weapons focusing on getting more critical chance is often important.

Some weapons like Fist have a reduced Critical hit Multiplier, dealing only 1.5x damage on a Crit. For these weapons, critical chance is less effective and sometimes skipped entirely.

You can see the critical hit chance and damage multiplier of all weapons at the Weapons page. And you can find a list of weapons with enhanced Critical hits Below
