Overall Weapon Score:
The average percentage of all stats found in ALL of the primary, secondary AND tertiary tiers combined with contribution multipliers considered:
- Primary contributions are 100% of the average primary stat value on the weapon.
- Secondary contributions are 25% of the average secondary stat value on the weapon.
