Weapons

Weapons have a quality range from "Basic" to "Super". The quality defines the distance of the projectile, its damage and the delay before the hand becomes accessible again (higher is the quality, shorter is the delay).

Brawling

	Fist
	Knuckle-Duster
	Battle-Glove

Swords

	War-Blade
	Light-Blade
	Fire-Axe

Handguns

Weapon		Ammo		Shots
	Pistol		20mm clip	30 shots
	Colt		45mm clip	34 shots
	Magnum		50mm clip	40 shots

Your first long range weapons. Handguns have a maximum distance range of 6 tiles.

Although the Magnum is considered the strongest weapon, it is also the most expensive in this category. The 50mm clip costs 300 gold whilst the Colt's 45mm clip costs 50 gold. That's 6 times less expensive for almost the same damage.

Rifles

Weapon		Ammo		Shots
	Rifle		45mm clip	34 shots
	Shotgun		Cartridges	42 shots
	Hunter		50mm clip	40 shots

Automatics

Weapon		Ammo		Shots
	Uzie		20mm auto-clip	39 shots
	Rapedo		45mm auto-clip	46 shots
	Booster		50mm auto-clip	50 shots

Lasers

Weapon		Ammo		Shots
	Hand-Laser		Laser Pack	20 shots
	Lyte-Zapper		Laser Pack	20 shots
	Ion-Pulse		Sonic-Pack	25 shots

Cannons

Weapon		Ammo		Shots
	Mono-Cannon		Shells	20 shots
	A51-Launcher		A51 Missiles	15 shots
	Twin-Cannon		Shells	20 shots

Shells are the most dangerous projectiles because they bounce back on walls and doors. If you fire more than one shot on the encounter and it dies on the first shot, all remaining shots will bounce back to you if there's a wall or door behind. Cannons have a maximum distance range of 50 tiles.

The Twin-Cannon is an excellent weapon in a space station. With the exception of the snake, all encounters can be hit with both projectiles thus making it a great weapon.

Sprayguns

Weapon		Ammo		Shots
	Airosoll		Poison Gas	21 shots
	Acid-Dispenser		Acid Gas	10 shots
	Flame-Thrower		Flambos Gas	10 shots

Balls

Super Balls look identical except that they bounce longer and provide more damage than a standard ball.

Power sockets

When your leader's hand touches a power socket, it becomes charged with 4200 units of electricity and can fire electric bolts to damage encounters. Each bolt will remove 420 units of electricity, but since the charge constantly decreases from the hand, it will allow you about 9 bolts per charge.

This method is only useful at the beginning of the game since it doesn't do enough damage to strong encounters. Each bolt travels up to 4 tiles with damage equivalent to the leader's dexterity level.

Zlots

Invisibly, the dexterity of a droid using a Zlot weapon is increased by 30, giving the impression that the Zlot weapon is slightly stronger than the corresponding original weapon at the expense of being twice the weight of it.

Explosions

The damage caused by an explosion is no different than damage caused by a projectile. The game simulates a hit as if an attack was performed at the location of the explosion. Like any projectile, damage is calculated by a distance, impact and force.

Usually, the distance is the space between a projectile's initial location and the location where is has hit something. An explosion doesn't really have a distance, but the factor is still used for calculations.

Mine

• Distance: Current base number (up to 15) * 16 + 14. Final range is between 14 and 254.
• Impact: (Random number / 256) with a minimum value of 129. Final range is between 129 and 255.
• Force: (Impact / 8) + Distance + 32. Final range is between 62 and 317.

Camera Explosion

• Impact: Leader droid's dexterity + 1. Final range is between 16 and 254.
• Distance: Leader droid's dexterity * 256 / Impact. Final range is between 16 and 254.
• Force: Impact + 20. Final range is between 36 and 274.

Damage Table

The damage is calculated between a minimum and maximum range. The actual value generated by the game is based on the weapon's type and quality, along with the droid's dexterity skill. Unless one of these parameters change, a shot provided by a weapon will always discharge the same damage, but the damage received will slightly be modified randomly and also depends on the encounter's armor, skill and distance. For example (totally made-up numbers here!), a Shotgun-IV shot with a dexterity of 16 will always generate a damage of 4150 when coming out of the weapon, but a far encounter of strong armor might actually receive 825.

The force of impact related to the distance between the droids and the encounter is calculated by the value of the multiplier column of the table below. At the time of impact, the basic damage is multiplied by this value. Each time a projectile moves (twice per floor cell as explained in the "Flying Items" technical page), its multiplier is reduced by 1. If it reaches 0, the projectile dissipates. Because of this, the multiplier can also be seen as the projectile life span.

You will notice that the damage by the Sprayguns is way lower than other weapons. It's important to realize that gas clouds generated by these weapons may affect the entire group and not only the individuals in front, and that they may even affect other groups standing behind. Indeed, when facing a single encounter, a Spraygun will be weaker than a Cannon, but when facing multiple encounters, a Spraygun can be so much more powerful.

Deactivation Delay

When a weapon is used, an amount of time is required before the droid can recharge the hand. This delay depends on the weapon type and quality.
