	Once it reaches the targets, '''Target Modifiers''' are applied. The first target modifier applied is critical damage. If the shot or explosive rolled a critical hit, the damage is increased by 50%. Other target modifiers also applied include: Shred, VPT, CST, Graze, Distortion, TK Field~~, Brawler~~. After each calculation the damage is truncated to an integer.

	Critical Damage has a base of 150% (so it adds 50% to the damage dealt). However, many abilities can increase this to higher levels.		Critical Damage has a base of 150% (so it adds 50% to the damage dealt). However, many abilities can increase this to higher levels.

	'''DR''' (Damage Resistance) is calculated by summing the unit's DR sources~~. DR that pushes the sum above 50 only counts for half; this is an '''Overflow Reduction''' on stacking DR~~.		'''DR''' (Damage Resistance) is calculated by summing the unit's DR sources.

	Once you have the target's '''DR''' and the damage dealer's '''Pen''' you can calculate the amount of mitigation on the '''Damage Dealt''' to end up with the '''Damage Taken'''. This is done by simply subtracting Pen from DR. However, the result from the '''(DR - Pen)''' step is clamped between the '''Impenetrable Cover''' value and '''80''' (a '''Mitigation Ceiling'''). The '''Impenetrable Cover''' value is 30 for units' in partial cover and 50 for unit's in full cover, but is halved by both reaction fire and steadied shots. The '''Mitigation Ceiling''' is always 80 which means that shots can always get at least 20% of their damage in. Do note that extra effective DR (above 80) can still be useful for counteracting pen while remaining at 80% mitigation.
