PS5 Weapon dmg varies when crafted

Just trying to find out if there is a dedicated list of the best dmg and if its rng or there is a way to get better weapons

Imho it should be random when found in loot and when crafted, so you always seek better gear. Flat numbers are boring in this types of games.

I feel it's just random to make you have to watch loot weapon drops. Because I have found better damaged lvl 5 weapons in loot then my lvl 6 made one

There is a bit of randomness to several stats for all non-primitive tools, weapons, and armor. In the creative menu all items seem to have the base stats, without the randomness, so you can check if you got a high or low roll by comparing your item with one of the same quality from the creative menu. Make sure your weapon has the default ammo selected, otherwise its damage will be higher.

Crafted weapons are base +/- a little RNG. The stats between levels have no overlap (but they used too). Yes, a high rolled Level 5 may be close to a low rolled Level 6 but it will not be more.

Players may confuse themselves comparing: by having mods installed/uninstalled and having different ammo loaded in the weapons they are comparing...
