I Solved Starfield's Damage Calcs and Found a Hidden Difficulty
I got tired people making claims they couldn't back up with any actual testing, so I tested out everything myself and solved the damage, difficulty, and damage reduction calculations in Starfield. In doing so, I discovered the game has a hidden difficulty modifier that most players will trigger without ever even realizing!
