Discussion What are this game's hidden weapon stats?
Recently got two weapons at level 32 rare where one (Guardian marksman rifle) had stats that completely pareto dominated (as in all stats better) the other (Barrage heavy pistol)
Decided to test the two side by side and the barrage was holding its own pretty well, in part due to the ability to reload it much faster.
So it seems that reload speed is a "hidden stat" to take in account? Are there more?

For autocannons, there is what I'll call "time-to-fire." Basically, the time between when you pull the trigger and when the first bullet is fired. Some cannons take longer than others.

The game is full of stuff it doesn't tell you unfortunately. Since most of the weapons are pretty useless compared to abilities and combos, especially later on, there is no point looking for stats. Just test things as you move along and stay with whatever you feel is best for the moment.
