This definitely seems like a great perk for Machine Guns, finally giving the archetype more damage towards high health targets like champs. If Overload MG ever returns this will be the perfect perk for it
Thanks for the clarification. I have the new void machine gun Retrofit Escapade (98 rounds w/ backup mag) with Target lock & 4th Times the Charm, but since missing shots reset the perk I think I’ll just stick to body shots.
For those who want an ELI5 explanation for the calculus: if you make 2 dollars a day, then you could say that your daily income is 2. The integral says that over the course of 5 days, you made 10 dollars. The integral is the sum of values. All you're doing is adding each value. The derivative is the opposite. If you make 10 dollars over the course of 5 days, what is your daily income? Your daily income is 2 dollars. All the derivative does is ask what each value is. So if you imagine a pot that you're throwing stuff into, the derivative asks "What are you putting in the pot now?" while the integral asks "How much is in the pot?"
To add to this - an integral can be thought of as just a mathematical trick to do a sum of a set of numbers whose size is infinity, provided that said set follows some kind of known pattern. It's super useful for a lot of different things, but usually we use it to calculate accumulation of change when the rate of change is also changing. In a normal total damage calculation, we can just say that for every 1 second of the damage phase, we throw an amount equal to the DPS times the time elapsed over that 1 second into the pot. With a constant damage buff, the amount we throw into the pot is constant, since it's always the DPS times 1. With a changing damage buff, we run into a problem where we have to change the amount we're throwing in to the pot every second. The issue here is that if we throw an amount in every 1 second, we may introduce some inaccuracy since there's a chance that the buff may change inside of that one second. Instead of throwing some amount into the pot every 1 second, we can use calculus to effectively throw a stream of stuff into the pot, that changes over time. This way, we can allow the amount of stuff we throw into the pot per second to change as well, which accurately reflects our changing buff. www.youtube.com/@3blue1brown is kind of the king of youtube math, and if anyone would like to know more, this video is pretty much the best explanation I could think of. ruclips.net/video/WUvTyaaNkzM/видео.html

Amazing job. Spectacular practical use of Algebra explained in the best way possible. Definitely ringing the bell for more content, will share among my engineer friends.
DAMN that was some neat math! Never seen someone construct a function like that, very cool to see and got an interesting result! Thanks for the dedication :)
Mathematics was my major but that was 12 years ago and sadly I've never used calculus irl since then and have forgotten all but the basics. I don't know why but I absolutely loved watching it get used for Destiny. Respect bro, and very informative!
KK so Actium War Rig might be a bit better for this than Gyrfalcon's if I'm doing my math right. w/ Appended Mag you can get mag to 91. FTTC brings total shots fired before reloading to 181 AWR adds 10% of mag (9 bullets in this case) every 1.5 seconds. It takes 12.067 seconds to that. 12/1.5 gives us 8 refreshes or 72 bullets added back to the mag. FTTC turns those 72 bullets into an additional 142 bullets. Total bullets fired = 323 It takes 9.467 seconds to fire those 142 additional bullets 9/1.5 = 6. 6*9 =54 additional bullets, which takes us over the guns reserves before we've even added in what FTTC would bring back. The gun's base DPS without adjusting for reloads is 2675*15 bullets per second yielding 40125 When I removed the function for Volatile Rounds and plugged this DPS number and our time to empty of 22.26 seconds into your function for target lock damage, Retrofit Escapade passed Cataclysmic in DPS after 2.59 seconds. Is this at all correct?
It's been legitimately forever since I've had to do anything big with oscillator functions. The closest I ever get is doing fourier transforms for our spectrometers in lab, but even that's all computerized and I just hit the go button and stare at it. Took a good bit of precalc review for this video lmao. Good luck on the final!
as a senior hs student aspiring to be an engineer I really appreciate the amount of work and the depth of the mathematical explanations you give. super great vids keep up the good work
i actually got a fttc/TL retro (gets 111 in the mag, total of 400 rounds with double reserves) as my first drop of the season and ive basically stuck to it ever since, even though i have a crafted taipan. i knew even before looking at this video that it wasnt as good damage as a linear w/ FL, but i knew it was close and youve proven me right, just a font of might or the new monochromatic maestro will do the job to push me over the edge. now thanks to you i can take my cracktium war rig into a raid and not be shamed into putting it away
Your videos are class, your presentation on point and backed by considerable thought and process... but please leave an outro on the vid so I can hit like before it closes out
Subbed because math. I've always been a big numbers guy and this is the first time I've actually seen calculus applied to anything other than school work.
Outstanding work on the math! I was wondering if you could try testing the Cascade Point perk to see how it affects the DPS on some weapons and if it's worth forgoing a traditional damage perk for it. Initial impressions are that it makes the Ikelos shotgun back to its OG rate of fire and makes the Dawning SMG a legendary Tarrabah.
Good efforts showing this off. It still lowkey kills me inside how Bungie is so adamant reducing LMGs to add clear when there's some technicalities of combos and perks(Reconstruction mag+Killing Tally Commemoration) that would've been sick to use for a stream of DPS kinda like how Hammerhead and Delirium were in year 2. Maybe someday they'll tweak stuff.
High Energy Fire + volatile from Gyrfalcons might make this good. Of course there is always the meta choice of linears and g-horn rockets but you don't always have to use the absolute top tier if you're having fun with something else
Let's also take in account the fact that Enhanced Target Lock also bumps up the damage I'm trying to farm this machine gun bc it would probably be the best heavy for my Gyrfalcon's build
Thanks for showing how you got the graph and calcs done, instead of saying "The perk is good, here's a random graph that proves it". I didn't really understand most of it but I could follow along the train of thought, and that's really helpful. Kinda interested in using the perk for dps, there a certain charm in shoving a lot of bullets very quickly down the enemy's crit spot, and that's not usually the best way of doing dps in destiny lol
Since LFRs are getting hit with the "don't be so good" stick in Lightfall, a Target Lock LMG + Gyrfalcons might actually be a solid contender for DPS checks. I'll definitely be crafting the FTTC+TL roll on this thing ASAP.
Had fun raiding with Imagine in an LFG group,such a chill guy. I was like: wow! this guy is using the stasis turret spam and he is so efficient , hmmm his sounds sound familiar…(look at his name and it was Imagine) lol.
Honestly, waiting for that heavy weapon rebalance coming in the future, linears are likely gonna get hit a bit and mgs are likely gonna get buffed, so having this knowledge is gonna be interesting
Great work! Since you took reloading into account, I wonder how much more dps we could achieve with actium war rig… with fourth times and extended mag, you could likely fire the entire reserves w/o reloading
There’s another thing though with gyrfalcons that if you push it past a certain damage threshold but using the grenade launcher debuff mod first and have font with a fttc target lock retrofit escapade ready with volatile rounds it can end up having many volatile explosions per second upwards of maybe 20-30 absolutely melted Greg
Just so everyone is aware, Bungie did mention back in October that they are going to be buffing machine guns again in PvP and in PVE in the mid-season 19 patch so I expect machine guns to either get a small buff and damage or at least a buff to their total reserves
Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out or if there was some bungo number stuff being wrong but the MG hits 2675 per crit, not 2875 which will throw off the values a bit
I’m going to have to go back and re-teach myself calc. It was fun when I took it, but I never found a practical use for it in my day to day so I lost a lot of it.
the perk seems kinda inconsistent. I was using the new machine gun with fourth times and target lock and my stacks were regularly resetting even tho I wasn’t missing any shots
Hey, I think something interesting to do would be a comparasion beetween the new stasis aggressive frame Linear fusion Versus Reeds Regret or Stormchaser The new LFR is in the archetype with the most damage per shot,( Aggressive) can make use of supreme wellmaker, but it's perkpool is not the best
So, I'm curious, did you check your final damage equation against in-game numbers? I adore the equations, but destiny can be finnicky on the numbers it counts.
Imagine Guardians! Some mathematician, Shadebinder, Content Creator comes along! Whip's out the Praxic Orders long lost discreet math, then hits us with the prestige raid lvl breakdown of how a new perk work's using calculus or trig or whatever. Just Imagine, Imagine uses lame man's terms in the comments to give us the simple version. Ty Imagine!
You're missing that the use cases for LFRs and machine guns are completely different. Machine guns shoot immediately, and have reserves of 300-500 shots allowing you to parcel out their total damage on majors without wasting it. Each LFR shot has a charge up time and uses up 3-5% of the reserves. In situations where DPS between LFRs and machine guns is similar the best choice will be to use a machine gun since you get to use it more often and more efficiently. Rapid Hit/Target Lock on the Terminus Horizon and ALH/Target Lock on the Avalanche are going to be fantastic options.
I hate that all of this knowledge I had back in math class is lost to time and here it is being used to figure out what does the biggest deeps to make brain release da happy juice in Destiny.
Unfortunately it's been shown that the ramp up time is not 3 seconds. I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't get my MG to ramp up until 8 seconds... Turns out it is based on shots vs mag size. It cannot get to +40% damage without some form of auto-reload either. The +40% damage buff happens at -5% mag which is impossible any other way.
LFRs are more than likely getting nerfed in Lightfall with Machine Guns getting a buff so depending on effective range for an encounter during Lightfall HMGs might just be the better option for sustained damage.
Awesome math on this one. I immediately thought step functions but the floored sin is perfect. This is the type of true damage calculation you're not gonna get from Ehroar
Enhanced target lock kicks the final buff up to 45%, instead of 40%.
Jesus
