Crit Damage
Crit Damage is the extra damage a critical hit deals. The chance of landing one is set by Crit Chance. Every point in the Cool attribute raises Crit Damage a little, and perks and cyberware raise it further.
Raising It
Cool is the main source: each point adds to Crit Damage. Perks such as Sleight Of Hand add stacking Crit Damage for throwing weapon builds, and Practice Makes Perfect raises both Crit Chance and Crit Damage. The table below lists every perk and implant that touches it.
