Okay I think I figured out what I was seeing in game. I had an Acrid with only hornet strike at 60% and deep freeze 10%.

This means my base damage would be 40 with 4 added in for freeze damage.

What I was seeing for ticks, however, was a 30 and a 1 against a charger in Palus, Pluto. The 30 is easily accounted for. That is 75% of my modded base damage. However, it seems that the 1 represents 75% of the freeze damage after enemy resistances - making the calculations for this weapon extremely complicated and enemy specific. This also makes comparisons between these two weapons very very complicated but it seems this weapon would outpace the despair except against medium grineer or maybe headshotting corpus crewmen.

In any case, this makes me feel slightly better about taking the time to farm all the crap for this gun...
