Magnum Crit Damage

[Fuchsia 109]

According to Magnum's Wiki page, whenever it gets a crit, it deals the same maximum damage as a shot that didn't -- is that true?

Critical damage is a special damage that ignores damage drop-off (if this paramater is present on the turret) and protection modules that protection against that specific turret. 

 

Magnum is a splash damage turret, and as such, has a critical splash damage radius. With a normal splash damage distribution, you will have damage drop-off away from ground zero. Critical splash damage allows you to deal 100% of the damage within a particular range.

For example, Magnum has a critical splash radius of 7 metres, and a normal splash damage distribution of 2, 5, 20 - 100, 50, 5. Meaning a target 2 metres away from ground zero will receive 100%  of total damage, 5 metres away will receive 50% of total damage and 20 metres away will receive 5% of total damage. A target at 5 metres normally will take 50% of damage,  but if it is a critical hit, that target will receive 100% of damage because the critical slash radius extends up to 7m.

Magnum's critical damage multiplier is x1. So yes, its critical damage is the same number as its normal damage stated in the garage.
