The distance modifier is altered for Rocket Launchers, Stickybomb Launchers (when detonated within 5 seconds), Syringe Guns, the Dragon's Fury, the Righteous Bison, and the Pomson 6000. This is the 15% variation many players have heard of it is not simply a 85–115% multiplier on the final damage. This means that you may be treated as being up to 102.4 closer or farther than you actually are, for purposes of the formula. In this formula, there is a random variation in the distance of ☑02.4 units (shown in the graph around 512 units, as an example).
The trough of the wave is at 1024 units, and all distances beyond 1024 are treated as 1024 for the purposes of damage calculation. The distance modifier is a number between 1.5 and 0.5 that sinusoidally decreases as the distance between the attacker and the target increases.
