Editing Firerate Bug (section)

==Prior to 5th of June 2026==
The '''Firerate Bug''' affects all towers and units that can directly attack enemies, meaning the only towers that are not affected are the [[Farm]], [[Medic]] and the [[Firework Technician]] and the only units that are not affected are the [[Humvee]], [[Humvee 2]], [[Elf]], [[Bomber Elf (Unit)|Bomber Elf]], [[Skeleton (Unit)|Skeleton]], [[Giant Skeleton (Unit)|Giant Skeleton]] and [[Hallow Guard (Unit)|Hallow Guard]]. The '''Firerate Bug''' does not affect the firerate of some secondary attacks towers or units may perform, some damage-over-time effects applied by towers (like burn from the [[Pyromancer]]) or certain other cooldowns.

The '''Firerate Bug''' increases the firerate of a tower/unit depending on its firerate, which can vary anywhere between 0.017 and 0.032 seconds. The firerate increase affects fast firing towers the most; for example, the [[Minigunner]] at Level 4 should have a firerate of 0.09, but because of the '''Firerate Bug''', it has a firerate of about 0.117, decreasing its DPS from 166.67 to 128.20, which is a decrease of 38.47 DPS, or a loss of about 23.08 DPS. Meanwhile, slow firing towers are barely affected by it; for example, the [[Ranger]] at Level 4 should have a firerate of 8, but because of the '''Firerate Bug''', it has a firerate of about 8.025, decreasing its DPS from 156.26 to 155.76, which is a decrease of 0.30 DPS, or a loss of 0.2% DPS.

The [[Firerate Buff]] is also affected by the '''Firerate Bug''', making it less effective. For example, the Level 4 [[Minigunner]] without the '''Firerate Bug''' with a 50% firerate boost should have a firerate of 0.06, but with the '''Firerate Bug''' it has a firerate of 0.083. This means that its DPS with a 50% firerate boost is decreased from 250 to 180.72, which is a decrease of 69.28 DPS, or a loss of 27.71% DPS.

On this Wiki, the firerate statistic of all towers and units is increased by specific values based on the firerate. While technically possible to calculate by hand, due to the effort it would take, it is overall recommended to either use [[Help:Neowtext#ROFBUG|Neowtext]] or [https://fiheron.github.io/dps-calc/ an online calculator].
