Attack Damage vs Impact

Can someone definitively explain what determines damage in this game? Best yet, could Bungie just... put it out there so we know? I keep seeing different explanations saying completely different things. A straight, tested answer would be great. A straight, Bungie confirmed answer would be greater. Thanks. ~Ricochet EDIT 1: I also need to know, apparently, if Impact is the same across all weapon classes. Does my Pulse Rifle with the same impact as my Scout Rifle do the same damage per round (not per burst)? Again, how do we know? Anything confirmed?

  • As far as I know impact is a multiplier for the base weapon damage. Then total damage is adjusted by enemy armor and resists, before finally being adjusted again based on your level compared to the enemy. That's just for PvE. I imagine crucible/IB has a similar formula.
