Better Picks — DPS & EHP Preview

Enhance Your Brotato Decisions with Better Picks: DPS & EHP Preview

Tired of second-guessing your choices in Brotato? The Better Picks mod introduces a powerful new overlay that provides real-time feedback on how each potential upgrade will impact your character’s combat effectiveness. No more guesswork – make informed decisions every time!

Understand Your Gains at a Glance

This mod seamlessly integrates into Brotato’s existing interface, adding two crucial lines of information to level-up cards, shop items, and end-of-wave rewards. You’ll see the estimated marginal gain for both your damage output and your effective health pool.

The displayed values, marked as ≈DPS and EHP, represent the direct change contributed by that specific choice. This allows you to isolate the impact of each pick, rather than being overwhelmed by your total accumulated stats.

How the Numbers Work

The ≈DPS calculation estimates the change in your damage throughput. It utilizes a continuous expected damage model, ensuring that small bonuses aren’t lost due to rounding or intermediate thresholds, and preventing sudden, misleading spikes. This sophisticated calculation accounts for weapons, pets, structures, and various damage-over-time effects without altering Brotato’s core combat mechanics.

Similarly, EHP estimates the change in your effective health, considering your current maximum HP, armor, dodge chance and cap, hit protection, and one-hit-death protection. The percentage shown indicates the marginal gain relative to your stats before making the selection.

Key Features of Better Picks:

• Real-time Previews: See the direct impact of weapons, attack speed, critical hits, range, projectiles, and reload changes on your DPS.
• Comprehensive Stat Tracking: Understand how choices affect piercing, bouncing, explosions, burning, structures, pets, and triggered damage.
• Co-op Ready: Accurately displays gains for each player in local co-op sessions, reflecting individual builds.
• Configurable Assumptions: Fine-tune battlefield calculations, such as multi-target utilization and event frequency, to match your playstyle.
• Intuitive Interface: Easily adjust settings within the game, with options for both controller and mouse/keyboard input.

The Better Picks mod is designed to enhance your strategic decision-making in Brotato, offering a clearer picture of every choice you make. Make every upgrade count!
