my god why are people so blind, theres a difference betweeen innate armour pierce, and ARMOUR PIERCE DAMAGE. Innate armour pierce (what the fang has naturally) ignores armour of enemies, armoour pierce DAMAGE (via mod aka sundering strike) adds bonus damage to the fang, in armour pierce form. There are a few type of damage types, for example, fire damage, electricity, freeze, normal bullet damage. Armour pierce damage is one of them, it ADDS more damage in THAT form. If you search up a specific enemy, such a a Grineer lancer, it will tell u how much resistance it has to each type of damage.

So lets say we use the fang, it deals 130 (65 x 2) per strike, and since it had innate armour pierce, it deals full damage to a grineer lancer, which is 130. if we put sundering strike on (armour pierce damage mod), and it gives 15 % armour pierce damage, it will deal 130 damage per strike PLUS 15% extra in armour pierce form. So in total, 130 + 19.5 armour pierce damage, thats why sometimes u see two numbers when u use elemental damage (because there is the normal damage PLUS the seprarate elemental damage).

Some enemies are WEAK to armour pierce damage, like some grineers take lets say 200% times damage from armour pierces DAMAGE, so the fang would deal 130 + 29 damage per melee attack.

i hope you understand XD
