Stalcraft Wiki: HK XM8

STALCRAFT Meta note

The HK XM8 is a 5.56 assault rifle with a large standard magazine, one of the tightest hip-fire spreads in its class and below-average recoil. Its per-shot damage is somewhat above the class middle, and it loses only a little damage over distance, with falloff starting at mid range. That combination suits both hip-fire at close range and aimed fire further out.

How these values are calculated

STALCRAFT Meta draws the damage chart for the selected upgrade level: full damage up to the falloff start, then a straight-line drop to minimum damage at the falloff end. The TTK Calculator and DPS Table use the same falloff model.

It shows damage per hit only, without ammo, armor or body-part multipliers.

Values at each upgrade level come from EXBO's per-level data.
