Attack is per hit as the game states it — the bows' numbers are on a different scale from the guns' and are shown as stored, not normalised. The Schematic 4 column is the same weapon's legendary tier row; the schematics hub says where each one drops. Other rankings: best weapons, best ranged weapons, best armour, best cold-resistant armour, best heat-resistant armour · every weapon.
