Some people have found it was stealth buffed to around 192dps in December
After hearing so many people say Symmetra’s primary fire has been buffed, I decided to test it out myself. To my surprise, it isn’t just the tick rate that has been buffed…they buffed the actual DPS of the beam too.
My first test was everyone with 500% HP and infinite ammo. Symmetra charges her beam on Reinhardt’s barrier, I drop the barrier, and I time how long it takes for a fully charged beam to melt Reinhardt. To my surprise, I got ~13.8 seconds. That made absolutely zero sense, so I decide…
Ok, so I went back to do some testing and actually came back with a value really close to 192 for Sym’s DPS.
I personally think I have gone crazy but an hour of additional testing has failed to replicate the ~180 dps.
Either I messed up the first tests or Sym’s damage is bugged but seems I told you 180 and that doesn’t seem to be the case after more testing, I wanted to come back and let you know.
She definitely can do upto 192 DPS with Tier 3 charge on live.
And the gamepedia wiki uses these values.
It was never an official thing and we don’t know if they see stealth reverted it in a recent patch. But stealth changes have happened before.
