Games use x25% or x25? Technically the first divides the score by 4.

    We are aware of what it actually does mathematically. Please re-read what I wrote.

    I was asking for clarification. Do many games really add the % to x25?

    Yes. Just off the top of my head, I see any kind of Diablo-like game doing it a lot. Shows everything as a percentage, but some items are just adding that number (not a percentage) or multiplying the number (also not a percentage). It's like they just treat the % as meaning "alters number in mysterious ways."

    Warframe has a mod card will say like +200% but you don't want that one, because it's adding, while there is a multiplying one that will say +4, and it's just multiplying it by 4 instead of the +200% which is only adding twice as much to the base value. If you had 100, the +200% thing gives 300. But the +4 is 400. And the way this is displayed in the game does not make sense so you'll always think the +200% is better unless you check the wiki (or put it on your gun and play around with it).
