 This means, for example, a weapon with attack 300 will increase damage by 7% per enemy level up to level 20 (300 / 15 = 20). So a weapon with attack 300 will do the same amount of damage to enemies of level 20 and higher.

-Attack is a [[stats|stat]] that increases your damage to higher level [[enemies]]. It acts as a limit on what you can deal full damage to.

+== Effect ==
-This is not a damage / DPS stat, but rather the shooter equivalent of "to-hit" from RPG's. But since all hits are based on player aim, shots don't hit or miss from this stat - instead, the damage of the resulting hit is scaled based on the difference between your weapon's Attack stat and the target's Defense stat. If your Attack exceeds the target's Defense, you'll do full damage. Otherwise, you'll do some reduced amount proportional to the difference. This is critically important if you're facing high-level mobs or participating in the [[Iron Banner]] PvP event, where gear stats matter. If you're just farming low-level mobs or participating in regular Crucible PvP, this doesn't matter nearly as much (in fact, for the Crucible, it doesn't matter at all since damage is normalized for all players).
