Latest revision as of 08:46, 12 November 2024

This is a collection of data on 95% of the weapons available to players in SamsaraMOO. It is a work in progress, with many weapons having incomplete info. Additional data is available at Weapons (Programming), but is for reference only, being out of date and unreliable. NOTE: Most of the data here was pulled from the waybackmachine page of the old HellMOO Wiki. If you find any discrepancies, notify a Wiki editor.

Universal Weapon Data

All weapons have some things in common: they all use damage types, have a parry class, and either have or lack an accuracy modifier. Here's a breakdown of each.

Damage Types

Below is a listing of damage types in SamsaraMOO. Taking damage of any type has a chance to damage armor, stun, inflict shock, cause brain damage on head hits or even KO on head/face/groin hits.

Torture buffs crit chances only on certain damage types, and only applies to melee weapons.

Type Buffed by

Torture?

Associated weapons Notes
Beat No Blunt weapons, waster shells, buckshot shells. Can break limbs and has a higher chance to knockout on a head/face/groin shot. Broken limbs debuff dodge/weapon skills and put you in shock if they get hit again.
Slash Yes Edged weapons, bolo shells, fletch shells. High chance to inflict bleeding. Can cause castration on lucky hits.
Stab Yes Pointed weapons, needle pistol/rifle. High chance to inflict bleeding.
Bullet No Firearms, Pistol Hammer. Above average chance to inflict bleeding.
Explode No Bombs, Thumper magazines, plane crashes, telefragging, etc High chance to break limbs, cause bleeding and inflict stun. Will also gib corpses if the finishing blow is explosive.
Burn Yes Flame chains, fire, plasma rifles, ash beasts, incendiary shells. Being on fire and overheating. Can light enemies on fire, inflicting damage over time and debuffing weapon skills. The damage from being on fire/overheating is only soaked by Firewalker and Solar Sponge.
Electricity Yes Flash whips, electric shells, tesla gauntlets, electrical devices in water, etc. High chance to inflict stun and shock. Slight chance to inflict burning.
Acid Yes Venomous Whips, Sagebrushes, Freakbiles, Corrosive Pikes, Corpclave chemical traps etc. Nothing special.
Radiation No Having lots of rads in your system, some enemies. Unsoakable - not to be confused with background radiation that only doses you with rads.
Irradiation No Abomination claws, giant wrench, waster shells, some science weapons, some enemies. Chance to dose the victim with rads (the same you receive from background radiation exposure).
Wasting No Ectoblast ammo, Gulfhounds, starving, thirst. Only soakable by Zombies and some enemies.
Suffocation No Ice yetis, Ashbeasts, drowning, space (decompression) Only soakable by Zombies.
Cold Yes Ectoblast ammo, Gulfhounds, Iceblox ammo, environments, etc. Can cause the cold status effect, which inflicts damage over time and debuffs brawn, reflexes, endurance and senses.
EMP No Crystal Spikes, Illuminol Clips, EMP Shotguns, Proton Packs, EMP mods/grenades, RIP-10 Cherenkov etc. Only hurts robots/ghosts, but is very good at that. Has a chance of inflicting shock as well as Crazy damage on hideous freaks.
Bleed No Sonic Scalpels, Chainsaws, Chudstoppers, bleeding. Causes bleeding, which inflicts damage over time and may lead to a knockout if too much blood is lost. Generally considered unsoakable.
Laser Yes Lasblasters, laser pistols, weapons with lumission edge mod, ODC laser satellite, etc. Extremely high chance to inflict burning. Only soaked by space suits, Solar Sponge and Silicone Skin.
Crazy No Brainscrambler Inflicts random mentals.
Drugs No Types: Overdose, Heart Attack These are how drugs and heart attacks kill you.
Misc No Types: Internal, Healing, Scalding, Detonation, Rape, Drug_Burning These are undocumented and sometimes unused. Detonation is related to Explode.

Accuracy Modifiers

This table shows you the exact numerical modifier associated with the vague text description you get when you appraise a weapon and see its accuracy modifier. Many weapons don't have a modifier; in that case, you won't see one of these lines, and the modifier is effectively +/-0. A weapon with a 0 accuracy modifier will have the same tohit as the relevant weapon total your character has (so a person with 40 spear total will have 40 tohit with a spear that has no accuracy modifier, assuming they meet the weapon's raw requirements and are fighting in normal style).

Appraisal Meaning
Much less accurate than usual -3 tohit or less
Somewhat less accurate than usual -2 tohit
A little less accurate than usual -1 tohit
A little more accurate than usual +1 tohit
Somewhat more accurate than usual +2 tohit
Much more accurate than usual +3 tohit or more

Parry Classes

This is a quick reference on parry classes. Because of how parrying works it actually is better for dodgy characters to have a lower parry class than their opponent since trying to parry attacks means you won't try to dodge as much. For a fuller description, see the linked article.

Name Icon Notes
Non-parrying - Does not parry, and cannot be parried. (can still be dodged unless it's a gun)
Class 0 Can only parry other PC0 weapons.
Class 1 * Can parry PC0 and other PC1 weapons.
Class 2 ** Can parry PC0, PC1 and PC2 weapons.

Weapon mods

Most weapons can take weapon mods. See the linked article for more information on them. Some melee weapons have restricted mod pools; where applicable, examples of this are noted on this page. Gun mod compatibilities vary widely, and are instead noted in their own table in the gun mods section of the weapon mods page.

Weaponry Listings

Here are the big lists, sorted by weapon class. Some tips on getting the most out of the stats listed here:

  • All weapon speedcaps are listed for Normal fightstyle.
  • Do not judge weapons by their base damage; most of them benefit massively from Brawn and skill scaling. Melee weapons depend on Reflexes for speed, firearms depend on Brawn for speed.
  • For melee weapons and most guns, only their primary damage type will scale up with brawn and skill. Other damage types (like the extra stab on the katana, for example) will not scale higher than their listed base damage.
    • Any weapons with brawn scaling (including weapons modded with monowire kits) will scale negatively for characters with less than 8 brawn.
  • Shotguns on the other hand will have all of their damage types scale higher with skill until reaching 30 tohit.
  • All weapons have a hidden dodge penalty calculated by the weapon's weight in kg rounded down. No longer true in Samsara. Probably won't be re-added.
  • Most also have a hidden accuracy bonus/penalty that can be seen by appraisal.
  • All melee weapons that do certain damage types (see above) will also have their crit% buffed by the player's Torture skill.
  • Dealing critical hits increases damage by 50%, before accounting for armor (so if you hit for 4 damage and it's a critical, the new total would be 6).

Fists

The game's RNG cannons. Fists gain damage from high skill as well as Brawn.

The fister's main weapons (knuckle busters and jawbies) are cheap, easy speedcap, and PC0. This means fisters can spend less time parrying and more time beating the ever loving shit out of their target.

Name Raw Hands Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed) Parry Damage Type Base Damage Crit% Accuracy modifier Weight Notes
Fist 0-4 1 23/2.6 Beat 1-3 20% +1 0 That's what you are using if you don't wield any weapon. Damage is increased with Lithodermis.
Powerglove 1-2 1 ? Beat

Slash

1-2

1-1

? From Commander Andy's in Slagtown. Deliberately designed to be awful, the beat scales up to about 1-9. Used for making tesla/edison gauntlets instead, which are badass.
Chunk of Brick 1-3 1 ? Beat 1-6 15% Get these by punching a cinder block until it breaks.
Claws (Chud) 2-4 2 23/2.6 Slash 1-8 2% 0 Chuds have their fists replaced with this. If you are hit, they can give you any diseases the chud has.
Claws (Zombie) 2-5 2 26/4.7 Slash 1-8 2% 0 Zombies have their fists replaced with this. Scales well with brawn, but slow as hell. Has a chance of inflicting zombie rot on hitting.
Knuckle Buster 3-5 1 23/2.6 Beat 3-6 15% 0 0.5kg Cheap from Ammunation. Very good; add force enhancers and you're not miles off a jawbreaker. Damage can scale even higher than jawbies with extremely high Brawn. Has a really wide mod pool: takes any elemental, any grip, a spike cluster kit, sharpening kit, and (most importantly) a force enhancer.
Claw (Ripper) 3-5 2 23/2.6 Slash

0 Mutating ripper replaces your regular fists with this. You can butcher, rend and fish with them, but not fondle or wank without hurting yourself or the target.
Uru pounders 3-6 2 29?/2.6 Beat 3-7 35% From gammaprole stockboys. Doomed to mediocrity. 2.5kg, two-handed, beat only scales to mid-30s. Tiny mod pool; can only take a spike cluster kit and an elemental. Slower than edisons, has mediocre to-hit that can't be gyro'd up.

Punch knife 4-6 1 ? Stab 1-6 30% Can get them from clowns and mimes that spawn on north beach. A rather rare drop.
Tesla Gauntlets 7-8 2 26/2.6 * Electric

Beat

8-20

2-8

25%

15%

Craft only. PC1 and deals nice amounts of electric damage (8-36 Elec + 2-8 Beat on a buffed Abomination). Generally considered inferior to Edison gauntlets. Damage scales more off skill than Brawn.
Edison Gauntlets 7-8 2 30/2.6 * Electric

Beat

5-14

5-15

35%

25%

-1 6.8kg Upgraded Tesla gauntlets. Harder to speedcap, but +10% (Torture-buffable) crit across the board, bonus 3-7 beat damage, and the electric scales to 45 at the top end! Great for PvP -- shock is tricky to soak. Scales excellently with brawn, less with skill. Fairly heavy; 7kg modded.
Jawbreaker 7-* 1 23/2.6 Beat 3-9 35% +1 0.25kg Bought from Pegleg Pete's in Botany sometimes. Super strong, the best all-round fist, though Edisons are better in some PvP cases. Breakneck speed, fantastic damage (caps out just under 50 beat), good accuracy, and random stuns with 35% beat crits. Restricted mod pool; can only take gyro grip and shock module.
Gorilla Grips 7-* 2 25/2.9 (?) ** Beat 7-7 35% 5.0kg
Pair of Pata Gauntlets 8-* 2 26/2.6 ** Slash

Stab

3-11

5-10

40%

-1 5.4kg Craft only. PC **, decent speed, and great Torture-buffable crit. Can hit the upper 40s in max slash. However, they're also two-handed, kinda hefty (6kg full-modded) and slash is easy to soak. Outshone by jawbreakers and edisons in most situations.
Super Spoiler Fist Weapon 15-* 1 28/3.8 Beat

Slash

4-9

4-9

20%

25%

-2 2.2kg The weapon's name itself is a spoiler, but you'll know this thing when you find it, it's from a boss. Notable for being possibly the only regular non-flail weapon in the game that requires 15 raw weapon skill, but otherwise uninteresting. Beat only scales up to the mid-30s, slow, 2kg heavy, and cannot take any mods.

Clubs

Good clubs are often easy to obtain and scale with either Brawn or skill. Recent nerfs have made it so that only the higher value will be used to determine damage, not both.

The Brawn/Reflexes scaling makes then a popular weapon for brainy hybrid builds.

Knuckle busters aside, clubs are also the only weapon class that accepts the Inertial Damper mod.

RIP-4 Combat Shiver Axe 7-* 1 27/2.6 * Slash 6-25 35% 0.9kg Steal them from the Punisher. High-end one handed club. Has fantastic slash damage and is lightweight but like the shiversword, it can't take many mods. Unlike the shiversword, this doesn't need a power supply.

A bit inaccurate and low damage compared to most weapon classes, but they are easy to acquire*, easy to speedcap and hit very fast.

Easily the most popular brainy weapon, as you can gym Ref/Sen/Brn for your whips, dodge and brainy skills. If you swap Brains for Endurance, you can kick a bunch of ass in PvP.

Spears

All spears have a hidden buff to parrying, +2.5 for PC1 spears and +5 for PC2 spears (tohit equivalent)

There are great spears with Brawn scaling (Pitchfork, Chainsaw Lance, Abossegai, Large Scythe) as well skill scaling (Zap, w00tz Bo Staff, Garden Weasel, Necronata).

Noteworthy is that most spears need high Reflexes to speedcap, are heavy and PC2. Skillspears are a pain in the dong to craft.

Blades

This skill shares similar stats to torture, meaning many blades will have higher crit chances.

Noteworthy Brawn scaling blades are the Springsteels and the chaindriver, while the best skill scaling blades are the Hosaka, Epee, RIP-9 Shiver and Krysknife

Also note that a lot of blades cap at 28 or higher Reflexes. Some of the powerful two handed swords are impossible to speedcap so bladers have to make do with their slower speed.

Pistols

One-handed pistols can be dual wielded for increased speed if you have the brawn at the cost of -7 tohit.

Single pistols require little investment to use, but dual wielded pistols require at least 20 brawn to speedcap after the recoil suppressor.

What really makes pistols shine are their speed, damage, and variety (bullet, electric, acid, burn, slash, irrad).

However, since pistols require a lot of brawn to truly shine they are much more stat dependent than rifles. Some pistoleers take Bleeder or Vampires to help speedcap their guns.

Pistols are also the only weapon class to take the recoil suppressor mod, which reduces the speedcap Brawn requirement by 5.

Like all guns, pistols are PC-, meaning they cannot parry nor be parried. They also cut the dodge tohit debuff from your enemy in half.

Now we're talking. This is about as good as the autorevolver gets. Really good speed and min damage on par with some rifles, but the max damage only goes up to 24 which is still too low to compete with the endgame pistols.

Rifles

All rifles have a chance to make your target "duck and weave for cover", stunning them. With enough speed you can essentially stun-lock someone as they try to break your cover.

This only extends to weapons classified as "rifles." Shotguns and SMGs will not trigger duck and weave.

Duck and weave recently got buffed - this might make rifles a good choice for PvP again.

Rifles require little stat investment to be effective (SCAR-L speedcaps at only 16 total brawn).

Like all guns, rifles are PC-, meaning they cannot parry nor be parried. They also cut the Dodge of your enemy in half

The exception to this is the riot gun, that has a pc of 1 but cannot be parried. As parry is inferior to dodge, this isn't worth it.

Rifles also get a free automatic crit on their first shot against anyone attacking them with fight berserk on. This activates automatically.

Science

All science weapons act like guns and deal exotic damage most armors can't soak.

They're also a HUGE pain in the dong to craft and Ectoblasts aside, useless in PvP. As a tradeoff, they often have a unique gimmick such as causing mentals or firing onto adjacent tiles like grenade launchers.

Only go for this if you're a masochistic sperg experienced player looking for a challenge.

Flails

A gimmicky weapon class that was created, forgotten, then picked up again by the new dev team. More flails are to come.

Flails can get "stuck" inside opponents on a power attack, and pulled out for extra damage. Different flails can have different damages dealt on a successful/unsuccessful yank.

Unlike guns, flails can still be dodged.

Improvised flail ? 1 ? - Beat ? ? ? With a schematic you can forge a custom flail with a steel chain, brick of quickmold, and item of your choice (giant wrenches, steel pipes, dead babies, you name it). The weight of the item you choose will affect it's base damage and raw requirement. Any flail over 15kg will become unwieldy to use by even the most skilled flailer.

Throwing

Used to be a lot better. Has very few real weapons, but anything thrown can be weaponized.

Damage is based on weapon weight and a hidden "throwability" stat - just stick to throwing fire axes.

Explosives

Devices that can either be loaded into a grenade launcher and shot with the bombs skill, pulled and thrown to the next tile, or destroyed to go off. Explosions have a chance to knock people into adjacent tiles.

Most explosives (bar dirty bombs and clusternukes) are too weak to use in PvP since Dodge heavily reduces damage taken by bombs. A few of them have some very useful status effects though. You can also stack explosives or add gasoline to the tile to cause chain reactions.

Explosion damage is reduced by skin soaks and the Dodge skill. Additionally, some NPCs are able to completely dodge grenades that inflict status effects.

Basic Explosives

Bread-and-butter bombs. These are activated and then thrown at people, whereupon they blow up and (hopefully) hurt the target.

Name Effects Notes
Cheap firecracker Explosion Very weak explosion. Used for bombs grinding.
Giant firecracker Explosion None.
Cherry bomb Explosion From mountain pass bandits.
Molotov cocktail Explosion+Fire Can be crafted by the metric asston. Will sometimes light someone on fire, however, these will explode in your hand. A lot.
Pipe bomb Explosion Can be used to make suicide vests/belts and landmines. You can also take apart suicide belts to get these. Some of these are duds.
Frag grenade Explosion Comes in two flavors: Regular frag and the weaker, unreliable "old frag grenade of dubious quality". While they're the strongest single-room explosive, the damage is still pretty low.

WMDs

Explosives in this category produce explosions that span over multiple tiles.

Name Effects Notes
Metal Suitcase 2x Explosion+???+??? Bought at Freedom City, Botany Bay and Gas town. Used in a journal, crafts into dirty bombs. Surprisingly decent damage.
Dirty Bomb Radiation+??? Essentially a metal suitcase that also irradiates the tiles it effects.
Clusternuke pellet Radiation+??? Kills everyone most people within a 3(?) tile radius. One time reward from a journal.

Mines

These explosives are usually used as traps.

Name Effects Notes
Landmine Explosion Explodes when anything enters the room. Can be avoided with a little dodge.
Gangland Mines Explosion Two types: Splat and Buster, the first is the weaker. Only work in gangland. Can be fired from grenade launchers hilariously enough.
Remote Mines Explosion A mine that can be remotely detonated via ham radio. Deals potent damage.

Utility

These explosives are used for purposes other than directly dealing damage.

Name Effects Notes
Smoke bomb Writhing smoke Slightly reduces weapon accuracy for all players in the room and increases fleeing success rate. Cheap alternative to spew, but without the stunning effect.
Sticky bomb Sticky filaments Covers all players in the room with sticky filaments. Extremely effective against dodgy opponents. Bought for cheap in Corpclave. (-15 dodge)
Stun grenade Shock+stun Stuns all players in the room and inflicts a single dose of shock (-3 brains, -2 dodge, -1 melee tohit, -2 gun tohit). The effect wears off very quickly though, and may be soaked by players with high endurance. Bought from a store in Botany Bay.
Flashbang Shock+stun A stronger stun grenade that inflicts a higher level of shock to all players in the room. Found on Coventry.
Psychotropic grenade Inflicts fear Inflicts a high dose of fear like a Hideous Freak's Scare ability. Effect works through gasmasks, but may be soaked by a person with high cool. (-4 cool, -3 reflex, -4 senses)
Chlorine Bomb Chlorine Fucks peoples eyes up with a dose of chlorine. Effect multiplies with more bombs, but is nullified with a gasmask. (-2 brains, -2 reflex, -2 endurance, -5 senses per dose.)
Spergnade Asperger's syndrome Debuffs Focus and renders victims unable to emote or talk properly. An absolute hit at Club Hellfire.
Rapenade Rapinex Very useful in certain circumstances since rapinex will make people try to strip their clothes and armor off off. Effect nullified if wearing a gas mask.
THC grenade Dude weed Enough weed can make someone pass out, but gas masks protects against THC completely and the dosage from a single grenade isn't that high. About as useful as a party favor.
EMP grenade EMP Damages ghosts and robots. May inflict mentals, damage, and shock on hideous freak players.
Psyflare Psi shimmer Explodes like a grenade and leaves psi shimmers in the area. Used for messing with phasers and clairvoyants.

Miscellaneous

These explosives are special, or else don't fit into any other category.

Name Effects Notes
Grenade Launcher Varies One-time journal reward. You can load any explosive into this (even clusternukes!) and fire it up to five tiles away. Useful with binoculars. Using this with low bomb skill may make you fire in the wrong direction/distance.
Stinger Missile AA Missile Crafted with tons of gunpowder and flashpowder. These things are single-use and require rifle skill to use for some reason. Extremely disappointing - crafting them consumes a grenade launcher and the damage is very low.
Suicide belt Worn Explosive You can wear a bunch of them and activate them at once for fun at parties. Damage is a tier or two higher than frag grenades and will deal critical damage to the wearer. NOTE: May explode if you try to put one on with low bombs skill.
Suicide vest Worn Explosive A bigger, crafted suicide belt for when you want to be REALLY fun at parties.
Black cocoon capsule Explosion Not actually a weapon. Works like any old white cocoon capsule except instead of protecting your gear, it explodes and deals damage to all players in the room, potentially destroying your corpse and everything in it. The more $$$ your gear is worth, the bigger the bang.
