Plasma Gun Base Damage Stat is Wrong? UI Bug?

[MooseOnTehLoose]

Issue Description:
80% is the max damage for any weapon currently. However if you buy an 80% damage plasma gun and click on the damage stat, you will see something is wrong:

The damage stat shows a spread between 875 and 1225. An 80% Plasma gun has 1155.00 damage.

If 1225 was 100% of damage, then 80% of that would be 980, not 1155.
If 1225 is 80% damage, then the damage stat of the plasma gun appears to be lower than it should be at 1155.

Checking an 80% damage chainsword shows the same math issues

The Patch notes stated the following changes to Base Damage:

M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun

● Base Damage (0%, 80% Damage Stat):

○ 600, 1080 to 700, 1260.

These don’t seem to be accurate either.

There seems to be an inconsistency with the base damage of the weapon and the reported stats possible for weapons at 80%. I am not sure what about this is bugged, either the UI or the damage / percentage calculation.

Steps to Reproduce:
Buy plasma guns from Brunt until you find one with 80% damage

Platform:
Steam

Reproduction Rate:
Constant (100%)

Not all modifiers scale linearly.

It’s not 80% of the upper bound, it’s 80% of the range between the lower and upper bound. it’s 875 + (1225-875)*0.8 = 1155. That’s how ranges work. I see nothing wrong with the UI, it’s dead obvious what’s actually happening. The fact that this “bug” is acknowledged is bizarre.
