128 * 1.96 (your indirect fire mod) = 250

250 - 32 (your indirect + generic fire mitigation) = 218
tbh that seems odd to me that indirect fire should increase backfire damage. indirect damage in this game generally is reserved for DoTs why would you all design it to increase this mods damage.

also I guess that explains why I am suddenly being killed now and then from backfire because I upgraded my indirect fire damage from 0% to +96%.

regardless thanks for the reply.
