From Amineri, regarding Mayhem (Oct 11, 2014):
Mayhem is sort of a funny perk that does a few different things under different circumstances. This is basically derived from vanilla because of the vanilla Heavy having rockets, LMGs, and Suppression, and Mayhem affecting each differently.
Mayhem + Suppression : currently hard-coded to deal base 2 damage, regardless of equipped weapon. The only perks that can modify this damage is shredding effects on target and HEAT ammo (because that bonus damage is applied in a different code location). HEAT Ammo adds +75% of the weapon's base damage. So an 8 base damage weapon adds +6 to the base damage, so Suppression + Mayhem deals 2 + 6 = 8 damage against robotic enemies with HEAT. A SAW has base 5 damage, so should be dealing 5 * 0.75 = +3 additional damage for a total of 5 damage.
Mayhem + eWP_Sniper/eWP_Support weapons : This is sniper/strike/SAW/LMG weapons. Mayhem adds a flat, fixed +2 damage to these weapons, which does not vary with tech-level.
Mayhem + direct damage grenades : this is HE/AP/Alien/MecGrenade/ProximityMind weapons. Mayhem adds +1 damage to most, and +2 damage for alien grenades.
Mayhem + rockets : this is both HE and Shredder rockets. Damage increased is based on tech level in this case (basically following vanilla), with +1 damage for the RocketLauncher and +2 damage for the Recoilless and Blaster Launchers.
