are the boni additive (e.g. charged&buffed: 1+.3+.2 = 1.5) or are they multiplicative (e.g. charged&buffed: 1*1.3*1.2 = 1.6)? Or is it more complex?

I'm quite sure it's additive. If you dig through the forums, you'll find awkm stating as much.

But is it
e.g. charged&buffed: 1+.3+.2 = 1.5

or (depending on what is applied first)

1 + .3 * (1) = 1.3 + .2 * (1.3) = 1.56

?

Just checked the code. It's additive and is definitely supposed to be that way.

A similiar thing where i just dont want to open a new thread.
How does the ammo+buff calculate with multipliers for different components?
ammo+buff*component modifier
or
ammo+buff+component modifier

damage of the shot*component modifier would make most sense, ergo i would assume (ammo+buff)*component modifier. I would assume (not having access to any code) damage is calculated on the component side.
But will need confirmation by anyone that has access to numbers. Where have gone the days, when the only anwer was something allong the line of "you don't realy need to know that formula".
