Life Steal

Life Steal

Your attacks have a x% chance to heal you for 1HP per hit. You heal max amount of 10HP/second. If this is negative it acts like the stat is 0.

In the game code, the limit of 10HP per second is monitored every 0.1 seconds, resulting in a actual limit of 1HP per 0.1 second. This can impact the performance of weapons that deliver multiple hits or pierces in an instant, such as shotguns.


Extra projectiles, pellets, pierces and bounces trigger lifesteal.

Explosions do not trigger life steal.


Weapons in the Medical class have innate Life Steal, and some weapon classes have Life Steal bonuses (see Weapon Classes below).

Strategy

Life Steal is heavily dependant on your Attack Speed and a Weapon's cooldown. Weapons that attack quickly (such as SMG.png SMG) will proc far more often than a slower weapon.

Vs. HP Regeneration

Compared to HP Regeneration.png HP Regeneration:

  • Life Steal can potentially offer much faster healing for less overall materials spent, by using weapons with fast cooldowns, Medical weapons, and a decent investment into Attack Speed.
  • However, HP Regeneration is more reliable than Life Steal. It doesn't depend on your weapon speed, always procs, and it doesn't require you to hit anything.
  • Life Steal's cap of 10 HP/second means it has a hard limit on its healing capabilities, even at 100%Life Steal.png. However, HP Regeneration takes over 100HP Regeneration.png to heal past 10HP/sec (see here), so this difference isn't noteworthy unless you're investing heavily into the stat.
