Do Damage Buffs Stack in Destiny 2?

In Destiny 2, damage buffs refer to in-game effects that increase your weapon’s firepower and amplify your damage output. It’s essential to understand how these buffs stack up against each other and with your weapons’ internal mechanics to maximize your PvP and PvE performance.

In Short: Damage Buffs Do Stack Multiplyatively

As mentioned by Bungie, "As with weapon perks, Weapon Surges do stack with Empowering buffs and weapon perks, doing so multiplicatively". This means that when combining multiple damage buffs, your overall damage output will exponentially increase, rather than simply adding up the individual percentages.

Here’s a breakdown of why this works:

• In Destiny 2, both weapon perks and Empowering buffs enhance your weapon’s damage by applying a numeric value. These values act as coefficients, influencing how much your weapon’s default damage scales up.
• When applying multiple buffs (Empowering, weapon, or Super), each applies its value to the scale factor independently. This multiplication of scalar values multiplies, rather than adds, each individual component.

To see this effect in action:

Using the values above, activating Eruption’s 35% boost while having 25% already contributes to your total damage: 35% multiplier for an additional 24.1% relative increase (+42.17% x 0.35, considering the buff is also multiplying the other damage outputs). The effect would manifest as 139.57% initial damage at 175 (+42.17% / 24.1)% of Eruption’s influence.

With the Eruption’s existing 25% amplification, our new percentage (42% x 1.08 = 45.14%, 24% and *25%42 = 10%) becomes roughly 56%, 11% 13% after considering total Eruption contribution (additional buff = 16% on 8%, which yields 43% base increase25%

This article includes examples showcasing how damage buffs stack with weapon perks by multiplying damage coefficients. From this insight, we discovered that individual damage buffs with their inherent scalar values build upon the previous values after being amplified, leading to additional damage percentage boosts.
