Guide to Combat: Difference between revisions

Whenever an object or creature takes damage, the game first checks the damage class of what is affecting the target. Then it adjusts the force (or damage) of the attack according to whatever armor may exist. The specific formula is '''Armored Force = Attack Force * (1 - (Final Armor / 100))'''. Final Armor has a minimum value of 0, and a maximum value of 100. It is calculated by '''Final Armor = Armor - Armor Penetration'''. '''However''', if AP is negative, it instead calculates at '''Final Armor = Armor / (1 + (Armor Penetration / 100))'''. Then, it checks for any hardiness or DR the target may have, calculating the final damage as '''Final Force = Armored Force - Hardiness?DR'''. The final force is then applied to the target, dealing its numerical value as the type dealt by the weapon.

|15 Brute

|One of the most robust things you can find. Sadly they are rather uncommon and departments like to hang onto theirs, and security likes to take them. You can print one at the [[Cargo Bay]]'s autolathe, if it has metal to make it.

|10 Brute

|Despite being not as good at the saw, this is still quite robust. Best part is you can have it your pocket and if you have access to this (not counting autolathe produced scalpels) security wouldn't care, unless it's covered in blood, of course. But even then they might assume you're just a bad doctor.

|15 Brute

|Only found in Surgery. Only used for dental implants, so it'll barely be noticed if it goes missing.

|25 Brute

|15 Brute<br>15 Brute when thrown

|16 Brute<br>20 Brute when thrown

|Possess very small armor penetration. On-hit will inflict an EMP on the target. On mechs, a heavy EMP is done instead. Cooldown of the EMP is 20 seconds.

|10 Brute

|[[Syndicate Uplink]], available for 5 TC

|2 Burn + 25 Stamina (HL)<br>18 Burn (LS)

Due to it dealing a small amount of burn damage, expect [[AI|silicon crew]] under harm-prevention lawsets to object to the usage of this weapon.

It is possible at the [[Armory]] protolathe to print out lethal conversion kits for the powerpacks, which will allow them to fire .22LS bullets instead. These overcharged powerpacks are only capable of fabricating eight shots per pack, and their projectiles resolve exclusively burn damage against laser armor instead of energy armor. Otherwise, the hardlight bullet acts the same.

|20 Rounds

It supports a bayonet.

|Scavengers

|A laughably shoddy weapon that only contains four 10mm bullets per magazine. While able to be made completely on your own, it fires slower than most automatics and its low capacity is barely able of downing an unarmored target before reload is required.

|Syndicate

|Hilariously cheap itself, but the rockets are where the real cost for this weapon comes in. HE rockets aren't bad area damage, but the HEPD rocket will delete anyone hit by it, as well as dealing massive damage to anyone next to them.

Requires both hands to fire. You can't rocket jump with it.

Bows, despite being mostly outdated, are most often used in sporting activities. Regardless, individuals on station are able to craft them if they desire a ranged option. Shooting a bow require the user to load an arrow manually, then drawing the bow before it's able to fire. The individual loading and drawing of each arrow means their rate of fire is slow, but each arrow has a chance to embed in its target, which will cause bleeding and additional damage unless dealt with. If an arrow does not embed, it often falls on the ground in front of the hit target. Some arrows have a chance to break on impact, which will prevent embedment or retrieval. Interacting with the bow while an arrow is drawn will cancel the shot and return the arrow to an open hand, if available.

|This gun fires x-ray beams that will pass through closed turf. However, it will be stopped by machinery or computers it comes into contact with.

Exceptionally effective against [[Blob|Blobs]] that might exploit station walls as a defense.

Multifaceted energy weapons are able to switch between different projectiles with various properties. Interacting with the gun in-hand will cycle between its firemodes.
