I have calculated odds for Kobe so you don't have to

Base: 4% which means 12% if you try 3 times so you will Kobe at least once every 9 games with maxed out slippery meat about halves the games but there is a 4% chance you will still fail but that's only counting one half the second half doubles your chances giving you a Kobe every 2 or 3 games open handed gives you an extra 18% giving you a 66% chance there can be 4 in play giving you an over all 120% chance Vigo's jar of salty lips increases your chance by 3% it stacks giving you overall 132% chance and luck adds together so it doesn't increase it giving you a 56% chance per attempt at max




Sorry if my math is a little off but this about the luck you get

    That somehow makes more sense to me than what the op wrote.

    I find survivors have a 90% chance when I am stomping them

    A 100% chance when all of them are hooked or in the dying state.

    A 4% chance with 3 chances doesntt equal a 12% chance though.

    Thats like saying if you flip a coin 3 times, you have a 150% chance to land heads. Its just not true.

    Not to offend or be a dick but this is like, 8th grade math stuff my dude

    To be fair, he's actually not that far off here depending on how you round. He just got close to the right answer with the wrong process.

    The math is here is actually simple.

    1 - (chance of failure) ^ number of attempts

    1 - (0.96)^3

    1 - 0.884736

    0.115264 or ~11.5%

    wrong I did my research and it said each attempt has a base 4% chance

  • Fuzzels

    Yes. That is a widely known fact. Every attempt has a 4% chance to kobe. That does not mean that 3 chances gives you a 12% chance to kobe. Thats just not how percentages work. If it was adding extra modifiers through perks and lips and such, yes you can simply add those percentages to each attempt. But you can just add multiple attenpts like that. Thats not how percentages work

    Basic 8th grade math is that odds are multiplied if you have more than one try.

    E. G.

    Untitled Image

    The probability to toss two heads in a row is 1/2 *1/2 = 1/4 = 25%

    The probility to toss one head or more in two tosses is 1/4 + 1/4 +1/4 = 3/4 = 75%

    In my math class we called that Diagramm a "tree" the mathematical rule is:

    If you follow the branches you multiply the odds.

    if you have to consider more than one branch you add up the odds.

    For your example: The probability to toss atleast one head in three tosses is 87,5%

    Here is more accurate kobe odds. Me playing survivor and trying to kobe - not a chance. When playing killer - somebody will always kobe

    Honestly, slightly unrelated, but luck as a whole high key needs a rework, it's currently one of the most useless mechanics in DBD. Vigo's Salty Lips only gives a whopping 3% chance to escape per offering, making it basically worthless without a coordinated squad also burning luck offerings.
