Weaponry

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 Additional data is available at Weapons (Programming), but is for reference only, being out of date and unreliable.

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, RIP-10 Cherenkov, Chobo Knives with the waste catalyst mod, waster shells, 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 enemies with high focus.
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.
• Most also have a hidden accuracy bonus/penalty that can be seen by appraisal.
• All melee weapons that do certain damage types (see below) will also have their crit% buffed by the player's Torture skill.
• The mechanics behind crits remain obscure, but some people believe they increase damage by 50% (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 Stab	3-7 1-6	30% 30%		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.
Claws and Fangs (Abom)	3-6	2	23/2.6		Slash Stab Irradiation	3-7 3-7 2-5	30% 30% 10%	+1	0	Mutating Abomination replaces your claws with this. Bad fuckin' ass. It's okay. Scales awesomely with Brawn and gets very nice tohit.
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.
Pair of Pata Gauntlets	8-*	2	26/2.6	**	Slash Stab	3-11 5-10	40% 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.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Thighbone	0-2	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	1-4	5%	+0	0.9kg	Bought from Ammunation or cut from dinosaurs. For making various mid/late game weapons.
Nail Mace	0-2	2	26(?)/5.4	*	Beat Stab	1-4 1-2	10% 20%	+2	2.0kg	Bought from Ammunation or looted from chobos.
Crowbar	0-2	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	3-5	15%	+1	1kg	Bought from Ammunation. Can be used to open the elevator doors in the WU building, but otherwise pointless.
Spiked Board	0-2	1	26(?)/5.4	*	Beat Stab	1-5 1-3	15% 20%	+0	1.5kg	From Thug Lyfe, Gangland. Don't bother.
Weaponized Arm	0-2	1	?	*	Beat	1-5	20%		1.1kg	Improvised with a severed arm and a bottle of embalming fluid. Kill someone with their own limbs.
Copper Pipe	1-3	1	?	*	Beat	1-7	15%	+2	1.6kg	A reward from a small-time boss in the sewers. Bad, but counts as a trophy.
Spoon	1-3	1	26(?)/4.1		Beat	1-1	10%	+0	0.1kg	Can be found in prison, and can be crafted into a shank. The ultimate in SperGrind Technology.
Fine Walking Stick	1-3	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	1-1	10%	0	1.5kg	Bought from Threadless in Corpclave. A MY IMMERSION item.
Tomahawk	1-3	1	?		Slash	2-5	50%	0	0.45kg	Very weak but has one of the highest crit chances out of any weapon. Sometimes found on Gangland serial killers.
#217 Pipewrench	1-3	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	1-3	10%	+1	0.9kg	Bought in the second floor of the Unemployment Office, FC. You need one to fix FC's broken, gay infrastructure, and Weezer's even shittier pipes.
Truncheon	1-3	1	26(?)/2.8	*	Beat	1-4	20%	+2	0.7kg	Bought from Ammunation. Bad damage but decent speed, not bad for early grinding.
Giant Wrench	10-*	2	26(?)/4.8	**	Beat Irrad	10-25 3-3	25% 55%	-2	10.6kg	Improvised weapon consisting of a bunch of radioactive rods. Peculiar. Hits hard if you manage to actually have the time to land a hit! Irradiates you and everyone around you when wielded. TOASTY!
Hatchet	1-3	1	26(?)/3.2	*	Slash Beat	3-7 1-3	30% 10%	+3	2.2kg	Bought from Zombie Hunters in Slagtown. Accurate with good crit, but unimpressive damage scaling. Counts as a blade for butchering purposes.
Headsman	10-*	2	31/2.8	**	Slash	17-17	55%	+1	5.0kg	A blueprint reward which is dropped from a boss located in Macero.
Pipe	1-3	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	1-5	10%	+2	1.5kg	Ammunation trash. Can be scavenged in the streets of Slagtown.
Baseball Bat	1-3	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	1-6	20%	+2	1.2kg	Ammunation garbage. Use the softball bat instead.
Razor Bat	0-2	1	?	*	Beat Slash	1-6 3-3	20% 35%			Crafted from baseball bat + razor ribbon.
Primitive Scapula Axe	1-3	1	25(?)/3.3(?)	*	Slash Beat	3-5 1-4	32% 10%	+1	1.7kg	Uncommon drop from an island mob.
Sagebrush Stick	1-3	1	26/2.6	*	Acid	2-5	8%	+0	0.045kg	Bought from Ammunation. These do an unusual damage type many armors don't soak. They're also fast, light and one handed. Even better with an acid pump mod.
Lightweight Pickaxe	1-3	1	26/3.5	*	Stab Beat	2-6 1-2	25% 10%	+1	1.8kg	From chuman guards in the underground mine. Can be used like a normal pickaxe. Good newbie weapon against zombies.
Scrap Mace	1-3	1	26(?)/3.9	*	Beat	3-10	15%		1.5kg	A budget Crime Stick, found on Abandoned Highway molepeople and orphan bullies sometimes. Slightly better than softball bats in every way except crit and min damage.
Tonfa	1-3	1	26(?)/4.3	*	Beat	5-9	10%	0	1.5kg	Bought from BrickArms in Weezer, though it requires 50 Weezer rep. These are okay.
Pickaxe	1-3	2	26(?)/5.4	**	Beat Stab	1-5 3-8	40% 20%		6.5kg	Bought from the Eschaton Outfitters FC. This is used for the mining job and scales ok.
Sledgehammer	1-3	2	?	*	Beat	4-15	20%	-2	2.5kg	Good for door bashing, but far too slow for real combat. Gangland shadowy figures sometimes have them.
Pistol Hammer	1-3	1	20/3.7	*	Beat Shot	2-4 1-1	10% 0%	+3	1.7kg	Fair speed and excellent bonus to-hit. Also easy to replace.
Softball Bat	3-5	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Beat	4-9	20%	+1	1.5kg	Bought from Ammunation. A grinding weapon, and very good for actual combat if modded correctly. Dubbed the "discount crime stick."
Slam Bat	4-6	2	26(?)/3.5	*	Beat	6-8	20%	+1	1.5kg	Bought from Ammuntion. You can get these for free from hepcats.
Shock Baton	4-6	1	26(?)/3.5	*	Beat Electric	3-8 4-9	10%	+0	1.5kg	The blacklash of clubs. Can be bought easily in Ammunation. Slap on a shock module and go to town on everything.
Fire Axe	4-6	2	26(?)/4.1	*	Slash Beat	5-12 2-8	50% 20%	-4	4.5kg	From Ammunation or Gangland firemen. Staggering slash damage with high brawn, but heavy and inaccurate. Still as powerful as it is plentiful.
Solid Gold Fire Axe	4-6	2	26(?)/4.1	*	Slash Beat	5-12 2-8	50% 20%	-4	9kg	Rare version of the Fire Axe dropped from a mob in Necropolis. Much heavier and cooler.
Pimp Cane	5-7	1	27/2.6		Slash Beat	3-10 1-4	30% 30%	-3	0.5kg	From Thug Lyfe in Gangland. Light and PC0 with good crit, but inaccurate with bad damage scaling.
Santa Cane	5-7	1	27/2.6		Slash Beat	3-10 1-4	30% 30%	-3	0.5kg	A reskinned pimp cane.
Crime Stick	5-7	1	26(?)/3.9	*	Beat	5-16	20%	+1	1.5kg	Scales extremely well. One of the best one handed clubs. Can be found on chuman guards in the mines, though the drop rate is low. Becomes exponentially stronger when modded correctly.
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.
Piston Hammer	7-*	2	26/2.6	**	Beat Elec	6-15 1-4	20% 20%	+1	4.5kg	Craft-only, the previous high-end club of choice. Two handed, PC2, and like most clubs, this also gets exponentially stronger with the right mods. The bit of elec damage is negligible though.
Combustor Hammer	7-*	2	26/2.6	**	Beat Burn	6-15 3-6	20% 20%	+1	4.5kg	Craft-only, made from a piston hammer. Same beat damage as the piston, but with a bit of burn instead.
Stone Cudgel	8-*	2	26(?)/6.5	*	Beat	6-10	10%		10.9kg	Can be scavenged in Coventry. Looks like cheaper version of wrench, worse in every way. Probably the heaviest conventional weapon in the game.

Whips

A bit inaccurate and low damage compared to most weapon classes, but they are easy to acquire, easy to speedcap and hit very fast. Additionally, they have a hidden parry penalty.

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.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Electrical Cord	0-2	1	?	*	Beat Slash	1-2 1-2	5% 5%			Scavable in gangland, should be used for getting to 1 raw in whips if you aren't at 1 raw already.
Razor Wire Whip	0-2	1	?		Slash	3-4	6%			Garbage, improvised with razors.
Riding Crop	1-3	1	?		Beat	1-3	15%	0	0.7kg	Can be bought in the Giggling Schoolgirl, pretty shit but good for grinding. Alternative to Antenna Whip.
Antenna Whip	1-3	1	?		Beat Slash	1-5 1-4	5% 5%	+1	1.2kg	Bought from Ammunation. Your grinding whip of choice. Effective against most early game mobs (chuds, chobos, crackheads, etc)
Leather Whip	1-3	1	?		Beat Slash	1-5 1-6	6% 5%	+1	1.5kg	Practically a direct upgrade from the antenna whip, it can be freely improvised from skins, you should try to upgrade to this as soon as possible.
Cobra Baton	2-4	1	?	*	Beat	2-5	15%	+1	0.35kg	Bought in Botany Bay's Tree of Life. Small step up from the leather whip, but PC1, and by the time you can get one you can probably get something much better.
Venomous Lash	3-5	1	?	*	Acid Slash	3-8 1-3	20% 10%	-1	1.2kg	Craft only. An unusual acid damage type, but otherwise not that interesting. Better now, but still just a grinding weapon. Schematic can be found in Sharpton.
Padlock on a chain	4-5	2		**	Beat	2-7	6%		6.5kg	New improvisable whip
Nail Sjambok	4-6	1	?	*	Beat Slash	2-7 2-5	10% 10%	+0	0.5kg	Rare find in Sharpton Projects' riot locker. Better than the slower venomous lash; works until you can get a good whip.
Link Whip	4-8	2	28/2.6	**	Beat	4-8	15%	+0	1.5kg	Crafted, or from Necropolis freaks. PC2, has equal parts skill and brawn scaling. Caps around 8-21 beat (or more with high brawn). Useful in the early game, and occasionally used to hunt junkers.
Flame Chain	5-7	2	?/3.3	**	Burn Beat	7-14 2-7	20% 5%	+0	1.2kg	Crafted or purchased in Weezer. PC2, gets minor brawn scaling. Caps around 7-24 burn (or more with high brawn). Useful in the midgame because it's so replaceable; strong against ice yetis.
Urumi	5-7	1	?/2.6		Slash	6-12	25%	+1	1.0kg	Craft only. Better now than they were before. Can take a balanced grip, elementals and ninetails or tentacle. Hard-caps at 6-28 slash before ninetails. Useful for single-wielding with high dodge against Nullianacs.
Razorchain	7-*	2	26/2.6	**	Slash Bleed	8-15 1-2	30% 5%	-2	1.5kg	Often dropped from Necropolis freaks. Cheap, disposable (yet perfectly viable) endgame whip. Easier to speedcap than urumis and flash whips; install a gyro mod if you can speedcap it without a balanced grip. Hard-caps at 8-24 slash before ninetails.
Blacklash	7-*	1	?	*	Electric Slash	5-9 1-3	15% 5%	+0	0.6kg	Crafted or found on Necropolis freaks. Crafts into the infinitely better flash whip.
Flash whip	7-*	1	?/2.6	*	Electric	6-12	17%	+0	0.6kg	Craft only. Dual wield these and max out your speedcap, another endgame whip similar to the Razorchain and Urumi. Hard caps at 7-23 elec with the shock generator. Mostly used in PvP, since a bunch of enemies (ants, ash beasts, nullianacs) soak the damage, but players have to wear rare specialty armor to do so.

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, Necronata).

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

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Sharpened Chopstick	0-1	1	?	*	Stab	1-1	10%	+1	0.2kg	Found in the Orphanage.
Sharp Pole	0-2	2	26/5.4(?)	**	Stab	2-6	20%	+1	1.0kg	A beginner's weapon, slightly higher minimum damage then the Military fork, but terribly slow. Can usually be bought at Ammu-Nation. Good to grind to 1 raw in spears.
Military Fork	1-3	1	27/2.6	**	Stab	1-6	20%	0	1.5kg	Good beginner weapon, slightly lower minimum damage then the sharp pole, but faster, one handed, and can be used to grind for longer. Notable for being one of the only one-handed PC2 weapons. Can usually be bought at Ammu-Nation.
Infected Syringe	1-3	1	27/4.0(?)		Stab	1-3	0%		0.25kg	Infects whoever it hits with Ebola. Incredibly prone to permanently breaking, outside of the standard weapon condition system.
Signpost Spear	1-3	2	?	**	Stab	1-7	?			Crackheads use these. They do slightly better damage then the other two common beginner's spears but you'll have to craft or find one since Ammu-Nation doesn't usually sell them.
Rusty Spike Spear	1-3	2	26/5.4(?)	**	Stab	4-11	?		3.0kg	Improvised with a rusty metal spike, a sharp pole, and a roll of duct tape; so you know its gotta be good.
Spike Spear	2-4	2	26/5.4(?)	**	Stab	4-10	25%	+1	3.0kg	Same as the rusty spike spear. From toxic dump freaks sometimes. Still slow as fuck.
Wooden Bo Staff	3-*	2	30/2.6	**	Beat	6-10	15%	+1	1.5kg	Your grinding and killing tool after the Fork, these drop from the nippoknights that appear when you sign a Kakuri Invasion contract.
Wooden Stake	4-6	1	24/2.6	**	Stab	1-7	?			Relatively easy to speedcap. These autocrit against vampires. You can get them from any vampire slayer other than Tyrone. They also occasionally drop from orphans and can be improvised with scrap wood.
Assegai	5-7	1	29/2.6	*	Stab	6-12	30%	0	2.0kg	A journal reward from Michael Savage in Stormfront Island, or dropped from Sky Pirates in Necropolis Gate. Completely inferior to the abossegai except for being easier to speedcap.
Luftspeer	5-7	1	26/2.6	*	Slash Stab Elec	6-15 5-10 2-8	30% 40% 50%	0	2.5kg	One time reward from one of the Das Kochenhammer bosses. Higher scaling than the assegai and comes premodded with a balanced grip, sharpening kit, monowire serrator, and shock generator. The extra shock and stab are potent enough to hurt a bit in pvp and it all comes with abnormally high crit rates but the main slash damage still scales a bit worse than the abossegai's stab.
Rusty Scythe	5-7	2	30/7.5(?)	**	Slash Stab	1-15 1-6	18% 15%	+1	7.5kg	Terribly slow and heavy. Almost impossible to use as an effective weapon, but scales well with brawn. One spawns outside of Edith's farm. Can be used to craft a normal large scythe (which is much better).
Large Scythe	5-7	2	32/2.6	**	Slash Stab	8-18 4-10	35% 25%	0	3.0kg	Crafted from a rusty scythe and an assegai (abossegais also work). Hard to speedcap but much more usable than its rusty counterpart while still scaling really well with brawn. Gets low 50s in slash damage at the top end.
Pitchfork	5-7	2	26/4.1(?)	**	Stab	7-15	40%	+2	4.5kg	A bit slow, but scales well with brawn, though there are still better alternatives. Monstrous crit rate, which is also torture-buffable. Found on toxic dump freaks sometimes.
Corrosive Pike	6-*	2	29/2.6	**	Acid Stab	6-6 6-8	5% 25%	+1	3.8kg	Craft-only, and can only take two mods, so choose wisely. Gets good brawn scaling and is good for PvP since acid is one of the less common soaks. The fiber mesh required to craft this is a nightmare to scavenge so I'll give you a tip: you can improv it from a random drop from beasts that spawn in a hidden lair East of Wide Stance.
Abossegai	6-8	1	32/2.6	*	Stab Slash	12-18 4-8	30% 20%	0	2.0kg	Scary. Has a very high min damage compared to most other weapons. Scales well with brawn, hits mid-high 40s in stab. One of the best one-handed spears. Find them on Necropolis abominations. Dual-wield for monster DPS.
Willy Pete	6-8	1	31/2.6	*	Burn Slash	2-9 5-13	25% 20%	-2	2.1kg	Craft only. Scales very well with brawn - burn caps in mid-50s. A bit inaccurate, and really bad minimum damage. Excellent for things that are weak to burn like Necropolis Heart mobs, but the abossegai is ultimately better for general use.
Garden Weasel	7-*	2	29/2.6	**	Slash	8-13	20%	+1	1.5kg	Very good. These actually exist in real life and are scary. Got from the necropolis chud store (or rarely from toxic dump freaks). Good min damage, slash caps in mid-high 40s. Accurate, easy to speed cap, and really light.
Chainsaw Lance	8-*	2	31/2.6	**	Slash Bleed	5-16 4-8	35%	-2	6.0kg	Craftable, or from Hawthorn. Monstrous damage on a top end brawn build (caps around 55 slash!) and beastly crit, but it's heavy and a bit inaccurate. Can only take the grip tape as a grip mod.
w00tz Bo Staff	8-*	2	26/2.6	**	Beat	8-22	20%	+3	2.0kg	Craft only. Very good, especially against things with poor beat soaks. Accurate and pretty easy to speedcap. Can take the dampener and force enhancer mods, so this thing is very good for both skill and brawn users even for those at lower reflexes.
Zap Brannigan OFF	10-*	2	30/2.6	**	Stab	5-10	15%	+1	4.5kg	Is crafted and not easy to acquire. Caps at around 30 slash while off and requires power adapters with atomicells or cheap power adapters to turn on (buy the cheap ones from Radio Slack in Slagtown).
Zap Brannigan ON	10-*	2	30/2.6	**	Stab Elec	5-15 6-16	25% 20%	+1		Weight varies depending on adapter used (cheap one is heavier). Stab damage scales into mid-high 30s, elec damage does not scale. Great in PvP against opponents who are not armored for elec.

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.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Plastic Novelty Katana	0-1	1	?	*	Beat	1-1	5%	+0	0.3kg	Scavenged in a place where there are many toys. Comes in many colors (which are displayed in-game) and counts as a blade for butchering, making this weapon a great meme.
Rebar Sword	0-2	1	26(?)/2.8	*	Slash Stab	2-7 1-4	20% 10%	+2	2.0kg	Can be bought from Ammunation. Grinding weapon that gets some nice brawn scaling.
Blacker Sword	0-2	1	26(?)/2.8	*	Slash Stab	2-7 1-4	20% 10%	+2	2.0kg	Reskin of the rebar sword; uncommon drop from Botany Bay pirates. Not to be confused with the Black Sword, which is swamp gas and weather balloons and does not exist.
War Saw	0-2	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Slash	3-8	30%		1.5kg	Ammunation. Not to be confused with Chainsaw. Higher slash damage than the rebar, but dat speed tho.
Bone Knife	0-2	1	?		Slash Stab	1-2 1-1	4%		0.4kg	Found on molemen or improvised with a skull. Cheap grinding blade.
Lawn-Mower Blade	0-2	1	22/3.2	*	Slash Stab	2-7 1-4	20% 10%	+?	2.0kg	Random drop on pirate mobs. Nice stats for its raw, but too rare and narrowly useful to be good.
Plywood Sword	1-2	2	?	*	Beat	1-1	?			Random orphan drop. These can break permanently outside of the weapon condition system, so they're actually not too good for grinding.
Spork	1-2	1	?	*	Stab	1-3	5%			Orphanage garbage.
Fork	1-2	1	4.4	*	Stab	1-3	5%			Orphanage garbage. Fatalities become a lot more interesting.
Butane Torch OFF	1-3	1	?		Beat	1-3	?			Can be found in the hidden bomb shelter in Gangland. Turn torch to on.
Butane Torch ON	1-3	1	?		Burn	10-15	?			Needs a butane canister bought from HH in FC. A bit inaccurate, and the butane runs out quite quickly which is annoying since Butane canisters can only be refilled in Sharpton Basement. Still does decent burn damage.
Broken Bottle	1-3	1	?		Slash Stab	2-5 2-5	33% 33%		1.5kg	Improvised from certain bottles of alcohol. High crit, but generally poor stats; a novelty item.
Switchblade	1-3	1	26/2.6		stab	1-4	35%	+2	0.2kg	Ammunation. Ganglanders and slagtownies often use these, and they are pretty fast. Good for grinding.
Straight Razor	1-4	1	19/2.9	0	Slash	1-4	35%	+2	0.2kg	Trash; very similar to the switchblade, but harder to replace. Drops from Botany Bay pirates.
Razor Blade	1-3	1	?	*	Slash	1-4	10%			More orphanage garbage... you emo
Cutting Knife	1-3	1	26(?)/4.1	*	Stab	1-5	15%	0	0.4kg	Gives a bonus to butchering corpses.

Flint Knife	1-3	1	?	*	Slash	1-5	?			Sometimes found on Orphanage bullies. Improv them with flint and a vine. Unusually high brawn scaling.
Combat Knife	1-3	1	2.8?(26)		Stab Slash	1-5 1-2	35% 15%		0.7kg	Ammunation blade. Cheap and shitty, but relatively quick and decent for grinding.
Titanium Combat Knife	1-3	1	3.0?		Stab Slash	1-6 1-3	40% 20%	+3	0.6kg	Bought from the automat in Rough Trade, Slagtown. More accurate than the normal combat knife and comes with different engravings. Can drop from the four-armed zombie.
Boxcutter	1-3	1	?		Stab	1-6	?			New Clearwater chomos have these. Marginally better than a combat knife.
Machete	1-3	1	26(?)/3.5	*	Slash Stab	3-8 2-4	20% 10%		0.8kg	Gangland Shadowy Figures have these. Good for murdering things while grinding if you don't want to spend five years poking them with a switchblade.
Shiv	1-3	1	?	*	Slash Stab	1-2 2-4	5%			Improvise this from a spoon in prison.
Poison Pick	1-3	1	?		Stab	3-9	40%			Lootable from Hepcat Jack in Maas Neotek. Can infect whoever it hits with Ebola, also can break permanently at random.
Wakizashi	1-3	1	25/2.6	*	Stab Slash	2-5 1-2	20% 0%	+2	0.8kg	Found on Gangland serial killers sometimes.
Fine Wakizashi	1-3	1	24/2.6	*	Stab Slash	2-7 1-2	25% 0%	+1	0.6kg	A hepcat drops these. Slightly faster and more accurate than the wakizashi but overall still pretty shitty.
Heavy Sword	2-4	2	28/3.4	**	Slash Beat	3-5 3-5	40% 30%	+0		Extreme brawn scaling, hits mid-50s in slash. Compared to the Boss, -5 min damage, and -0.2 speed, but +10 max damage, +2 to-hit and +6% crit - all for a weapon bought in Ammu Nation.
Ripper Blade	1-3	?	?	*	Beat Slash	5-8 3-10	10% 0%			Exists only in the Quake Dream. A rare few existed in a world long past due to a bug.
Rusty Bayonet	1-3	1	22/3.8	*	Slash Stab	3-8 2-4	20% 10%	+2	0.8kg	Chance to spawn on Botany Bay pirates. Very poor damage scaling.
Ice Pick	2-4	1	?		Stab	2-4	30%			Another crap "blade."
Crystal Spike	2-4	1	?	*	Beat EMP	1-5 5-8	10% 10%	0	1.5kg	From the crystal cave in Luskentyre. Deals EMP damage, making them the blademan ghost killing weapon of choice.
Suburito	2-5	2	?	**	beat	1-9	30%	0	1.0kg	From Roshi in Kakuri. Scales with skill and brawn, caps at about 39 beat. Fast with good crit, but poor minimum damage. Special mod pool: can take inertial damper and force enhancer, but cannot take sharpening kit.
Katana	3-5	1	29/2.6	*	Slash Stab	4-11 2-5	20% 15%	+1	1.6kg	For free from the gatekeeper at Kakuri if you can kill him. Likely one of your first lowbie blades.
Shirasaya Katana	3-5	1	30/2.6	*	Slash Stab	4-11 2-5	20% 15%	+0	1.4kg	Spawns in Kakuri Monastery sometimes. Slightly lighter than the base katana, but also slightly slower and less accurate. Identical to the base katana except it's aesthetically shittier with a weeber name. Also unique flavour text.
Huge Scissors	3-5	1	26/7.0(?)	*	Stab	4-9	15%	-4	0.12kg	Can be purchased in Botany Bay or found on Birchwood Rompers. Irredeemably shitty and slow.
Fine Katana	4-6	1	28/2.6	*	Slash Stab	6-15 3-7	20% 10%	+1	1.2kg	From someone on Kakuri. Despite the name, it only gets to 23 slash for skillblades at 38 total either use chobo knives or use kukri if brawny.
Lotus Nodachi	4-6	2	?	**	Slash Stab	5-10 6-10	35% 20%	+1	1.5kg	One-time journal reward from Kakuri. Amazing low/mid level blade.
Broken Chainsaw	1-3	2	6.4	*	Beat Slash	5-8 3-10	?			Bought from Zombie Hunters Inc. Decent damage, but very slow. The schematic to fix it can be bought from the same store.
Hook Sword	5-7	1	?	*	Slash Stab	5-10 2-5	25% 20%	0	1.0	Does slightly less damage than a fine katana with maxed out blades level has better crits. This is also not a one time quest reward so they are pretty easy to replace.
Catlass	5-7	1	25/2.6(?)	*	Slash Stab	4-8 1-4	33% 18%	0	1.5kg	Improvised, slightly upgraded version of the cutlass.
Swordcane Blade	5-7	1	23/3.2		Slash Stab	5-12 4-8	27% 27%	0	350g	It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van. Sometimes found on Alex and his little Droogies.
Wasteland Choppper	6-8	2	?	**	Slash Stab Beat	5-14 2-4 4-8	12% 12% 20%		4.7kg	A skilled fighter could do somewhat more damage with this. A brawny fighter could do somewhat more damage with this.
Gas-Powered Chainsaw OFF	5-7	1	?	*	Slash Bleed	5-10 2-4	30% 0%			Craft only. Needs fuel to start-up.
Gas-Powered Chainsaw ON	5-7	1	30/5.5		Slash Bleed	7-14 2-5	50% 20%	-4	5.1kg	Has unusual scaling; min damage scales (with brawn) as well as max. Hits about 20-34 slash at top end with huge crit, but horribly inaccurate and slow. Restricted mod pool: can only take grip and elemental.
Cutlass	5-7	1	25/2.6	*	Slash Stab	4-8 1-4	20% 5%	0	1.5kg	Can be found uncommonly on bandits in the Underground Mine and Open Prairie. Quite easy to speedcap, but it's damage is cruddy.
Wasteland kukri	5-8	1	28/2.6	*	Slash	5-14	25%	0	1.9kg	Crafted, rare drop from treasure hunters. The best one-handed brawn blade; average and unremarkable compared to weapons in general. Brawn scaling caps at about 40 slash.
Hosaka Daikatana	6-8	2	32/2.6	**	Slash Stab	9-14 3-6	30% 30%	+2	1.4kg	Earned once per roll, from Usagi Yojimbo. One of the best blades: excellent min damage, light, accurate, nice Torture-buffable crit. Good skill scaling. When modded for brawn, reaches about 44 slash (higher than the Shiver).
Bonesword	6-8	2	25/3.8	**	Acid Slash	6-8 6-8	5% 25%	+1	4.5kg	Craft-only brawn blade. The schematic can be found after a certain journal in Stormfront. Exotic acid damage and fair accuracy; scales to about 50 max acid damage.
Bruce Springsteel	6-8	2	28/3.8	**	Beat Slash Stab	6-12 7-10 2-4	15% 30% 20%	0	5.5kg	Crafted. Slow and heavy, but brawn-scales for huge damage; caps around 51 beat! Also has good secondary damage with Torture-buffable crit.
Boss Springsteel	7-*	2	35(?)/2.6	**	Slash Beat Stab	8-12 1-5 3-5	25% 15% 35%			Crafted from a bruce springsteel. Slightly faster than a bruce, but with slash damage instead of beat and less accuracy(-2tohit). It's damage was nerfed a while back. You are better off using the bruce.
Chobo Knife	8-*	1	31/2.6	*	Slash Stab	4-16 3-6	35% 25%	+1	1.5kg	Chuds can buy this from a hidden store in Necropolis Sewers. The best one-handed skill blade. Scales up to 32 slash damage, but is parried by a lot of things endgame unless fully buffed. Also the only weapon that can take the waste catalyst mod.
RIP-9 Shiver Sword OFF	10-*	2	3.1	**	Slash	2-7	20%	+2		Craft only. Needs to be turned on to be useful. Turned off, it still scales impressively with skill.
RIP-9 Shiver Sword ON	10-*	2	3.1	**	Slash	8-27	28%	+2		Needs a cheap power adapter or a normal one with an atomicell to operate. Accurate and deals as high as 42 slash damage, but does not take any grip mods. Weight depends on if you use the 1.5kg cheap adapter or normal adapter.
RIP-10 Cherenkov OFF	13-*	2	3.6	**	Elec Irrad EMP	8-20 2-4 1-8	35% 15% 30%	+1	4.5kg	An upgraded shiver sword that deals electric damage. Has slightly lower scaling than a shiver, but can accept gyro and balanced grips.
RIP-10 Cherenkov ON	13-*	2	3.6	**	Elec Irrad EMP	8-20 2-4 1-8	35% 15% 30%	+1		An upgraded shiver sword that deals electric damage. Has slightly lower scaling than a shiver, but can accept gyro and balanced grips. Weight depends on if you use the 1.5kg cheap adapter or normal adapter.

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.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Brawn req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Ammo	Accuracy Modifier	Weapon/ammo weight	Notes
AirSoft Target Pistol	0-1	1	?/3.9	-	Shot	1-1	0%	Pellet clip	+2	0.5kg 0.2kg	Bought from Liddy Arms or Ammunation. Basically useless for everything but grinding your first pistol raw. Airsoft clips can be bought from the vending machine in Liddy Arms
Needler	1-3	1	?/1.3	-	Stab	1-1	0%	Dart clips	-1	1.5kg ?	Sometimes found on the four-armed zombro. Fastest obtainable weapon in the game by far. Curare Darts paralyze the target like spiderlings, Black Sleep darts KO the target like less lethal Black Pills.
Dart Pistol	1-3	1	?/3.2	-	Stab	1-1	0%	Dart Clips	-1	1.5kg ?	Like a slower needler (and also found on the four-armed zombro). Curare Darts paralyze the target like spiderlings, Black Sleep darts KO the target like less lethal Black Pills.
.22 Revolver	1-3	1	?/4.5	-	Shot	2-5	25%	.22 Speedload	+2	0.45kg 0.05kg	Bought from Thugg Lyfe in Gangland. Newbie grinding weapon. Slightly better with hand-loads but don't bother.
Nail Gun	2-4	1	?/2.9	-	Stab	1-7	15%	Nail Clip	-1	4.0kg 0.5kg	Craft-only. Clips can be purchased at Hell's Up In Hardware for $75, and hold 50 rounds, making this a very handy grinding pistol. Loading it with a nail clip doesn't add weight to the gun for some reason.
Powersquirt	1-3	1	?/2.6	-	Acid	3-8	40%	Acid Powersquirt clip	-1	1.2kg 0.7kg	Bought from 77Jack's in Corpclave. More useful against zombies than most pistols, since zombies don't soak acid.
Powersquirt	1-3	1	?/2.6	-	EMP Acid	1-5 1-3	30% 10%	Illuminol clip	-1	1.2kg 0.7kg	Can be purchased from CSICOP in slagtown or Camp Benjamin. More useful against ghosts than with acid powersquirt clips.
Powersquirt	1-3	1	?/2.6	-	Acid	13-18	25%	Freakbile clip	-1	1.2kg 0.7kg	Does impressive damage, but a massive pain to craft the ammo unless you have access to a friendly abom, who can create an endless supply of chestbursters to be butchered. Deadly in pvp since only one armor set has significant acid soaks.
Powersquirt	1-3	1	?/2.6	-	Burn	3-9	30%	Napalm Powersquirt Clip	-1	1.2kg 0.7kg	South Necropolis ammo. Garbage that deals too little damage to be useful.
Defender 6mm pistol	1-3	1	?/4.0	-	Shot	5-12	15%	6mm	+2	1.5kg 0.2kg	Liddy Arms in Corpclave sells them. Breaks very easily.
Defender 6mm pistol	1-3	1	?/4.0	-	Shot	7-13	18%	6mm Insult(tm)	+2	1.5kg 0.2kg	Bought from 77Jack. Extra 2-1 damage and +3% crit, about twice normal cost.
Kel-Tec P11 9mm	2-4	1	16/5.2	-	Shot	5-13	20%	9mm	+1	0.4kg 0.16kg	Found on Rentacops or at the Mall. You can buy also buy them at Liddy Arms. Very light, but slow. Generally outclassed by the 9mm Beretta. Uses all the ammo listed with the Beretta
9mm Beretta	2-4	1	13/4.2	-	Shot	7-15	20%	9mm clip	+1	1.5kg 0.2kg	The only real gun Ammunation actually sells. Your bread and butter grinding pistol for some time.
9mm Beretta	2-4	1	13/4.2	-	Shot	11-15	20%	9mm Insult(tm) clip	+1	1.5kg 0.2kg	+4 minimum damage, otherwise identical to regular ammo. Only from 77Jack; almost triple the normal ammo cost.
9mm Beretta	2-4	1	13/4.2	-	Shot	11-17	20%	hand-loaded 9mm clip	+1	1.5kg 0.2kg	The best ammo type 9mm has to offer. Slightly more damage than the Insult(tm) ammo, except these can be made cost-free from regular 9mm clips by a crafter.
Walther P99	2-4	1	13/3.9	-	Shot	7-15	20%	9mm clip	+2	1.5kg 0.2kg	From Pegleg Pete's sometimes. .3 faster and 1 more tohit than the beretta. Uses all the ammo listed with the beretta.
Harpoon pistol	3-5	1	?/3.5	-	stab	1-1	0%	Harpoon clips	0	1.5kg 0.2kg	Craft only. Useful for underwater fights, might be useful against vampires for very lucky chest shot.
Needle Pistol	9-*	1	?/3.1	-	Stab Stab Bled	5-7 5-7 1-1	25% 25% 15%	Needle clip	-1	1.0kg 0.1kg	Craft only, not to be confused with the needler. Can be used underwater and ammo is very cheap from Blastarms. Good for the few lowbie enemies weak to stab, but otherwise not that great.
Rusty old .38 caliber revolver	1-3	1	?	-	Shot	6-12	30%	.38 speedload	0	0.55kg 0.6kg	Liable to explode. Found in a cabin in yeti forest. Takes all of the ammo listed with the autorevolver.
Snubnose .38 revolver	3-5	1	?	-	Shot	6-12	30%	.38 speedload	0	0.55kg 0.6kg	Takes all of the ammo listed with the autorevolver.
.357 revolver	4-6	1	?/3.3	-	Shot	6-12	30%	.38 speedload	0	1.4kg 0.1kg	From Thugg Lyfe in Gangland. Takes all of the ammo listed with the autorevolver.
.357 Autorevolver	5-8	1	?/2.7	-	Shot	6-12	30%	.38 speedload	-3	1.3kg 0.1kg	The faster craft-only counterpart to the .357 revolver with an equally hefty accuracy penalty. .38 speedloads have slightly higher crit rates than the .357 speedloads but much lower damage.
.357 Autorevolver	5-8	1	?/2.7	-	Shot	9-14	35%	hand-loaded .38 speedload	-3	1.3kg 0.1kg	As usual hand-loading your ammo makes it a little better, but this caliber is still mostly inferior to the .357 speedloads.
.357 Autorevolver	5-8	1	?/2.7	-	Shot	10-16	20%	.357 speedload	-3	1.3kg 0.1kg	If you've gone through the trouble of making this gun you might as well get hand-loads for it too.
.357 Autorevolver	5-8	1	?/2.7	-	Shot	15-18	25%	hand-loaded .357 speedload	-3	1.3kg 0.1kg	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.
.44 magnum	2-4	1	?/3.2	-	Shot	6-14	30%	.44 speedload	0	1.5kg 0.1kg	Crafted, bought and a rare drop from Karnivores in Nukem. Vastly better with handloads but still mostly a novelty.
.44 magnum	2-4	1	?/3.2	-	Shot	6-25	?%	Hand-loaded .44 speedload	0	1.5kg 0.1kg	Can be used as an alternative to Hammerheads.
Lizard Gun	1-3	1	?	-	Shot	1-20	3 %	.40 slug	0	0.1kg 0.3kg	Craft only. A gimmick weapon used as a component in Lasblasters. .40 slugs can be bought from Blastarms in Crater Rim. Yes, the slug is 3x heavier than the gun.
TT-77	5-7	2	?/4.5	-	Shot	5-18	10%	14.5mm	-2	5.0kg 0.5kg	[zotnet] Everyone says, "hey kayle let's talk about the tt-77" [zotnet] Kayle says, "I don't want to talk about that. :(" .wist kayle
TT-77	5-7	2	?/4.5	-	Shot	6-16	?	Rusty 14.5mm AP	-2	5.0kg 0.5kg	Shit, like every other ammo type for this gun.
TT-77	5-7	2	?/4.5	-	Shot	7-20	10%	Hand-loaded 14.5mm	-2	5.0kg 0.5kg	As usual, hand-loaded mags better than the regular mags.
TT-77	5-7	2	?/4.5	-	Shot	18-20	20%	14.5mm silvertip	-2	5.0kg ?	The only upside to this weapon, while still being terrible silvertips make it actually usable in combat. Not sure where to get these though.
Rusty .71 Desert Hawk Revolver	5-7	1	?	-	Shot	8-30	35%	.71 speedload	-1	2.5kg 0.3kg	Identical the desert hawk, but liable to explode randomly during use.
.71 Desert Hawk Revolver	5-7	1	17/3.2	-	Shot	8-30	35%	.71 speedload	-1	2.5kg 0.3kg	From Captain Khan in Botany. Requires a moderate amount of brawn to speedcap, and even more to dual wield (22 after recoil mods). Ammo can be bought from South Necropolis. Massive damage and crit rate. Does even more with handloads.
.71 Desert Hawk Revolver	5-7	1	17/3.2	-	Shot	14-34	40%	hand-loaded .71 speedload	-1	2.5kg 0.3kg	Always find a crafter to break and re-craft regular .71 speedloads into these. Much more min damage and higher crit than the regular speedloads.
Samaritan	5-7	2	19/5.8	-	Shot Explosion	16-40 3-15	15% 20%	.92 speedload	-2	1.5kg 0.3kg	One time reward from Hellboy in Necropolis. Very great damage, but really slow and hard to make ammo for. Useful for aiming related shootings. Requires 2 hands. .92 speedloads can be crafted but will not come out hand-loaded.
12mm FlugHammer	6-8	1	12/3.2	-	Shot	13-29	35%	12mm clip	0	1.9kg 0.2kg	A very rare drop from sky raiders. A reskinned hammerhead 12mm that comes premodded with a laser sight, recoil supressor and propellant enhancer.
12mm Hammerhead	6-8	1	17/3.2	-	Shot	10-26	35%	12mm clip	-1	1.5kg 0.2kg	The best easily available pistol weapon, and still pretty good compared to the crafted ones. Can be crafted or found in rooms in Cialis Tower. Dual buffered Hammerheads cap at 20 brawn like most pistols. 12mm clips can be crafted but will not come out hand-loaded.
12mm Hammerhead	6-8	1	17/3.2	-	Shot	12-26	30%	CopKiller clip	-1	1.5kg 0.3kg	Ammo is bought at 77Jacks. Better than regular 12mm clips.
12mm Hammerhead	6-8	1	17/3.2	-	Shot	14-28	30%	SWATKiller clip	-1	1.5kg 0.4kg	Maas Neotek kiosk ammo. Holds almost twice as many bullets as a regular magazine with greater damage, somewhat expensive though.
12mm Hammerhead	6-8	1	17/3.2	-	Shot Bleed	11-22 1-1	32% 0%	ChudStopper clip	-1	1.5kg 0.5kg	Ammo from South Necro and Maas Neotek. Lower minimum damage than SWATKiller magazines, but balanced with unsoakable bleed damage. Scales up to 14-31 Bullt + 1-7 Bleed damage.
12mm Hammerhead	6-8	1	17/3.2	-	Shot Bled	10-26 1-1	35% 5%	Blacktalon clip	-1	1.5kg 0.2kg	Rare random drop from hepcats and firemen. The poor rich man's chudstopper, worse better than normal chudstops in every way after those got nerfed.
Viper 12mm	6-8	1	17/3.5	-	Shot	11-27	35%	12mm clip	+3	1.0kg 0.2kg	Easily crafted from a regular hammerhead. 1-1 higher damage, 4 tohit more accurate, and lighter than the regular Hammerhead, but 0.3 slower. Easier to dual wield due to its accuracy bonus but its slower speed suffers more compared to twin hammerheads. Takes all the ammo listed with the 12mm pistol.
Sawn-Off Shotgun	2-4	1	?/5.0	-	Beat Slash Shot	5-15 5-15 5-15	10% 10% 10%	Buckshot shell	+1	2.5kg 0.1kg	Sometimes dropped from Bootleggers. Can be switched to single or double fire mode. Double fire grants slightly better tohit, at the cost of using both shells at once. This is classified as a shotgun so does not take the recoil suppressor. Dual wielding this grants no bonuses except to double its tiny ammo capacity. Uses all the shells listed with the Super Shorty.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Beat Slash Shot	5-15 5-15 5-15	10% 10% 10%	Buckshot shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Craft only. A sawn-off shotgun on steroids. Still ineligible for the recoil suppressor. 4 capacity, big accuracy penalty, and a bitch to speedcap, but the high speed and insane ammo variety make it more than worth it. Buckshot is good for when you don't want to waste your real ammo.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Shot	15-30	25%	Slug shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Good against things with low bullet soak, damage is comparable to most rifles. Ammo sold in Botany and Zombie Inc, Slagtown.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Slash Slash Slash	5-13 5-13 5-13	20% 20% 20%	Fletch shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Great for shredding up zombies. Garbage against anything with decent slash soak. Ammo sold in Botany and Zombie Inc, Slagtown.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Stab Electric	1-1 10-20	0% 0%	Electric Shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Ammo of choice for killing abominations, fucking anyone now. Expensive South Necropolis ammo.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Burn Burn	8-16 7-14	30% 20%	Incendiary shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Nullianac pack killers. Cheap from South Necropolis and Botany sometimes, and fantastic on anything else with low burn soaks.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Shot Slash Bleed	5-10 15-25 2-5	10% 25% 70%	Bolo shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Concentrated slash damage, great for killing almost anything. Very expensive South Necropolis ammo.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	21/2.9	-	Beat Shot Irrad	4-15 2-15 1-10	30% 20% 25%	Waster shell	-3	1.8kg 0.1kg	Very nice, irradiation damage isn't soaked by a whole lot of people. Frequent drop from Glowstiller bootleggers.

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.

10/22 rifle	0-2	2	?/5.0	-	Shot	8-11	25%	.22 speedload	+3	2.0kg 0.05kg	Bought from Blastarms in Crater Rim. Use this to grind to 3 when you can use the American-180, then ride that baby to 6. Slightly better with .22 hand-loads but this is a grinding gun so don't bother.
M100 rifle	1-4	2	?/5.2	-	Shot	12-19	15%	6mm	+3	2.5kg 0.2kg	The next step from the 10/22, bought from Blastarms. High damage but still a cheap, slow grinding weapon.
American-180	3-6	2	12/2.4	-	Shot	7-11	15%	.22 pancake	+2	2.6kg 0.4kg	Craft only, ammo available at Blastarms. The fastest rifle. Weak, but very good for grinding. Slightly stronger with handloads.

Shotgun (Quake)	1-3	2	?	*	Beat Slash Shot	5-15 5-15 5-15	10% 10% 10%	?			Exists only in the Quake Dream.
14.5mm pipe gun	1-3	1	?	-	Shot	2-12	10%	hand-loaded 14.5mm clip			A one-handed rifle?? And the ammo takes pistols skill to craft??? This gun is a mess.
Harpoon rifle	3-5	2	?/5.2	-	Stab	7-27	20%	Harpoon Clip	0	1.5kg 0.2kg	Crafted and found in the Sealab underwater. Harpoon Clips can be bought from Blastarms. Can be used underwater and auto-crits on vampire chests.
Pump shotgun	1-3	2	19/5.8	*	Beat Slash Shot	5-15 5-15 5-15	?	Buckshot shell		1.5kg	Craft only. Too slow to be competitive and doesn't really scale up much at all. 5 shell capacity. Takes all shells listed with the Super Shorty. Classified as a shotgun.
Kel-tec KSG shotgun	3-5	2	21/3.9	-	Beat Slash Shot	5-15 5-15 5-15	10% 10% 10%	Buckshot shell	+1	3.1kg 0.1kg	Bought for cheap from Zombie Hunters Inc in Slagtown. The best rifle shotgun with damage that scales higher than the shorty. 10 shell capacity. Can load all the shells listed with the Super Shorty and can get pretty fast with enough brawn. Classified as a shotgun.
Riot gun	3-5	2	?/5.2	*	Beat Slash Shot	3-13 3-13 3-13	10% 10% 10%	Buckshot shell	+1	1.5kg 0.1kg	Found randomly in the lockers under WOPR. Holds 5 shells. Inferior to the KSG in almost every way, but is unique for having a parry class of one. Takes all the shells etc. Classified as a shotgun.
EMP shotgun	1-3	1	18/5.2	-	EMP	4-9	15%	MK I Energy cell	0	2.5kg 0.3kg	Bought from CSICOP in Slagtown. Not useful for much other than killing ghosts. Classified as a shotgun.
EMP shotgun	1-3	1	18/5.2	-	EMP	6-15	15%	MK II Energy cell	0	2.5kg 0.3kg	Bought from the ghost buster store in Weezer. For the serious ghost buster. Classified as a shotgun.

Vector Carbine	4-6	2	?/4.8	-	Shot	12-20	20%	9mm Clip		1.5kg 0.2kg	Craft only. Powerful, but slow. Even stronger with Insult 9mm(tm) and 9mm hand-loads.
Tommy gun	5-7	2	?	-	Shot	12-25	30%	drum magazine			Craft only, and only good for looking cool. Outclassed by most other rifles.
Rusty AK-7 rifle	4-6	2	?/3.9	-	Shot	10-18	?	7.62mm clip	-1	3.5k 0.3kg	Chomos in New Clearwater often have them. Equally effective alternative when making AR-17 rifles but may explode if used on its own. Can be switched to single or burst mode. Can take all the ammo listed with the AR-17.
AK-7 rifle	5-7	2	19/3.9	-	Shot	15-23	20%	7.62mm clip	0	3.0kg 0.3kg	Bought from Pegleg Pete's in Botany sometimes. Can be switched to single or burst mode. Better damage with hand-loads (22-30). Can take all the ammo listed with the AR-17.
Snow white AKS-74u	5-7	2	19/3.9	-	Shot	15-23	20%	7.62mm clip			Previously the best rifle in the game, after getting the shit nerfed out of it, it's now an AK-7 reskin. Better damage with hand-loads (22-30)
AR-17 rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot	18-26	20%	7.62mm clip	+2	3.0kg 0.3kg	The highest shot damage gun that actually gets used in combat - this one and the SCAR-L/plasma rifle are what you will see in PvP. Extremely easy to craft and make ammo for.
AR-17 rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot	23-28	25%	hand-loaded 7.62mm magazine	+2	3.0kg 0.3kg	Always get someone to make your regular 7.62mm clips into hand-loads.
AR-17 rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot Cold	20-26 2-4	20% 5%	7.62mm iceblox clip	+2	3.0kg 0.5kg	The cold is unsoakable by most things and can scale higher with mods. This ammo is bought from Camp Benjamin in South Necropolis along with the other special ammo types.
AR-17 rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot Bleed	20-26 2-3	20% 5%	7.62mm blacktalon clip	+2	3.4kg 0.3kg	Like Iceblox, but for bleeding. Good for the few things that do soak cold damage.
AR-17 rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot Expl	18-26 2-3	20% 5%	7.62mm thumper clip	+2	3.0kg 0.3kg	Explosive bullets which are hard to soak and have a high chance of gibbing anything you kill. Some joker will always bring this to the Pit.
AR-17 rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot Elec	18-26 2-3	20% 5%	7.62mm tsap clip	+2	3.0kg 0.3kg	Electric bullets. Not very useful since nothing is particularly weak to elec.
W-U NSG 23 assault rifle	6-8	2	18/4.0	-	Shot	14-22	20%	7.62mm clip	+2	2.0kg 0.3kg	Recently nerfed and now worse than an AR.
TEC-9 machine pistol	6-*	2	13/3.9	-	Shot	15-23	20%	9mm clip	+3	3.0kg 0.2kg	Drops from karnivore soldiers in Nukem Academy which don't show up often, or rarely from normal karnivore seniors. Accurate, relatively easy to speedcap, and the shot damage scales higher than the AR (up to 42 shot damage!). Better damage with Insult 9mm(tm) and 9mm hand-loads. Classified as an SMG.
Rusty Gremlin SMG	6-*	2	?	-	Shot	15-23	20%	9mm clip	-3	3.0kg 0.2kg	Dropped by the rig workers on oil rig, pretty shitty, and liable to explode when used. This thing is basically the opposite of the Tec-9. Classified as an SMG.
Rusty MP9	6-*	2	?	-	Shot	15-23	20%	9mm clip	-12	3.0kg 0.2kg	Also based on the Tec-9 chassis. Liable to explode, terrible, can random spawn in a Gangland container. Notable for having possibly the highest innate accuracy penalty of any conventional weapon in the game. Classified as an SMG.
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	18/3.6	-	Shot	10-25	15%	5.8mm	-1	3.2kg 0.3kg	Craft only. If you've gone to the trouble of getting a bullpup, don't waste it firing shitty standard rounds.
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	18/3.6	-	Shot	15-27	25%	hand-loaded 5.8mm	-1	3.2kg 0.3kg	Unfortunately this is still significantly weaker than the AR-17 and not fast enough to make up for the loss.
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	18/3.6	-	Shot Cold	10-25 2-4	15% 5%	5.8mm iceblox	-1	3.2kg 0.3kg	Bought from South Necropolis like the rest of the special ammo. The elemental damage does not scale nearly as much as the AR-17 counterparts.
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	16/3.6	-	Shot Elec	10-25 2-3	15% 5%	5.8 tsap magazine	-1	3.2kg 0.3kg	See AR-17
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	18/3.6	-	Shot Explo	10-25 2-3	15% 5%	5.8mm thumper magazine	-1	3.2kg 0.3kg	See AR-17
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	18/3.6	-	Shot Bleed	10-25 2-3	15% 5%	5.8mm blacktalon	-1	3.2kg 0.3kg	See AR-17
Wasteland bullpup	7-*	2	?	-	Shot	13-28	15%	5.8mm	-3	3.4kg 0.3kg	Stronger than the regular bullpup, but much less accurate and slower. Takes all the ammo listed in the regular bullpup.
Sighted Sturmgewehr	7-*	2	?	-	Shot	13-28	15%	5.8mm	+2	3.6kg 0.3kg	The Flughammer of rifles. For the most part this is just a fully modded bullpup rifle with a fancy name, but it has 2 more tohit than usual modded bullpups. Takes all the ammo listed with the bullpup.
Plasma rifle	8-*	2	18/3.0	-	Burn Burn	15-18 15-18	30% 30%	plasma bottle	+1	5.0kg 0.3kg	Craft only. Nullified by leech-hide and dusters; potent against unprepared targets. Difficult to craft (as is the ammo). Restricted mod pool; can only take laser sight.
M41A pulse rifle	8-*	2	18/3.0	-	Burn Burn	10-13 10-13	30% 30%	plasma bottle	+1	5.0kg 0.3kg	Incredibly rare drop from a floor that doesn't exist. Slightly worse then the plasma rifle it's modeled after; makes up for it with style points.
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/2.6	-	Shot	11-21	20%	5.56mm	-1	3.3kg 0.2kg	Craft only, as well as a one time reward from a certain cache. Much faster than the bullpup and AR, giving you more opportunities to trigger duck&weave. 5.56mm elemental ammo is sold in Abandoned Highway and Necropolis South with the 7.62mm counterparts.
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/2.6	-	Shot	17-23	25%	hand-loaded 5.56mm	-1	3.3kg 0.2kg	See AR-17
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/2.6	-	Shot Bleed	11-21 1-1	20% 5%	5.56mm blacktalon magazine	-1	3.3kg 0.2kg	See AR-17
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/2.6	-	Shot Cold	11-21 1-1	20% 5%	5.56mm iceblox magazine	-1	3.3kg 0.2kg	See AR-17
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/2.6	-	Shot Elec	11-21 1-1	20% 5%	5.56mm tsap magazine	-1	3.3kg 0.2kg	See AR-17
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/2.6	-	Shot Expl	11-21 1-1	20% 5%	5.56mm thumper magazine	-1	3.3kg 0.2kg	See AR-17
Needle rifle	10-*	2	?/3.1	-	Stab Stab Bleed	8-10 8-10 3-3	25% 25% 15%	needle clip	-1	1.5kg 0.05kg	Craft only. The bleed damage and speed were nerfed significantly, RIP in PIP sweet prince. Can still be used underwater.
Sniper rifle	12-*	2	28/8.0	-	Shot	18-38	50%	Sniper round	+4	4.5kg 0.3kg	Craft only. Only useful for aiming, but very good at that.
Sniper rifle	12-*	2	28/8.0	-	Shot	30-55	100%	Tantalum sabot sniper round	+4	4.5kg 0.3kg	Has the potential to instantly kill most targets.
Flintlock Musket	12-*	2	18/10.0	-	Shot	23-45	50%	Paper Cartridge	?	8.7kg ?	With rifles it scales up to 23-55. So the trade off here is that this is heavier and slower than a sniper rifle, but it does more damage. Crafting ammo is 20 rounds a batch with normal common parts. I wouldn't use this in direct combat, but this is probably the most affordable Aimer in he game.

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 Lasblaster/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.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Brawn req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Ammo	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Brainscrambler	1-3	2	20(?)/5.8	-	Crazy	0-10	0%	Brainscrambler canister		1.6kg	The crazy damage means that targets hit by it will develop mental illnesses. These things are a fucking pain in the ass to craft and are fucking slow on top of it.
Proton pack (Mk I)	1-5	2	15/5.2	-	EMP	2-7	15%	Mk I Energy Cells	+2	6.7kg	Useful for busting very low-level ghosts. Purchased in Slagtown. Can take laser sight and propellant enhancer.
Proton pack (Mk II)	1-5	2	15/5.2	-	EMP	4-13	15%	Mk II Energy Cells	+2	6.7kg	Useful for busting mid-tier ghosts. Purchased in Weezer.
Proton Pack (Ectoblast)	1-5	2	15/5.2	-	EMP Cold Waste	6-18 5-9 4-6	25% 10% 10%	Ectoblast Cells	+2	6.8kg	Useful for busting most anything. Cold soaks are rare, only zombies soak waste, and scales to 9-37/8-28/7-25 damage (EMP/cold/waste). Slow, heavy, powerful. Craft-only.
Tesla Rifle	2-3	2	3.7	-	Electric	5-10	5%	Tesla cell			Not good at all. Too slow, outscaled by flash whips and teslas/edisons and cherenkov, no crit. Has the special "shock a room" shit, but it does awful damage.
Desolator	4-6	2	?	-	Waste Irrad	15-20 15-20	20% 20%	Desolator payload			Scales very well with science. Ammo is an absolute bitch to craft. Can be fired onto another tile to irradiate it go off like a goddamn clusternuke.
Disruptor	4-6	1	19 (20)	-	Explode	50-60	0%	Disruptor Power Pack		1.8kg	Absurdly Slow. May blow up with low science skill. Nigh-useless in any form of combat other than aiming-related shooting cant aim with it anymore because fuck Gilmore. Excellent for tearing down doors, however.
Debilitator	4-6	2	?	-	?	?	0%	Debilitator Slug		1.8kg	Several ammo types, but they are a pain in the ass to make. Still very obscure to this day. Effects of ammo vary wildly.
Lasblaster	5-7	1	3.0	-	Laser	8-10	20%	Atomicell	-1	2.2kg	Scales up to 8-18 laser; few things soak laser damage. Dual-wielded effectively with 20 brawn. Can take laser sight and folding stock mods.

Medic

Oddly enough, medicine can be weaponized. This class used to be a one-trick pony, but with the addition of the Liston Knife, there are now two medic weapons.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Sonic scalpel	5-7	1	25/2.6		Bleed slash	3-5 1-3	15% 5%	0	0.125kg	This weapon's bleeding damage scales with medic skill and caps at 3-15 bleed at around 46 tohit, making it a great light blade brainies can use to kill as well as butcher. Can also be used to grind medic.
Liston knife	0-2	1	20/2.6		Bleed slash	1-3 3-5	15% 5%	0	1.2kg	Random drop from an NPC in Crater Rim. Much easier to speedcap than the scalpel, but 2-2 less damage. Can take all blade mods.

Flails

A gimmicky weapon class that was created and forgotten. Don't expect any buffs anytime soon ever, these are almost all trash unless you know what you're doing.

What hurts flails most is the lack of an endgame PvE weapon.

Flails can sometimes get "stuck" inside opponents and pulled out for extra damage. This is a waste of time for the most part because pulling does minimal damage and you cannot use your stuck weapon until it is freed.

Unlike guns, flails can still be dodged.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Yo-yo	0-2	1	18/2.6	-	beat	0-2	10%			Can be found on orphans. Your first grinding flail.
Sock with a half-brick	1-3	1	5.1	-	Beat	1-10	?
Meteor Hammer	4-6	2	26/2.6	-	Beat	4-10	30%		4.0kg	Can be bought from Tree of Life in Botany Bay. Two handed and a bit inaccurate, but scales moderately well with brawn and skill.
Blockchain	1-3	2	30/2.6(?)	-	Beat	4-16	30%		10.5kg	Extremely heavy and has a very restricted mod pool - can only take a single elemental mod. Despite this, scales incredibly well with brawn and gets decently fast.
Steel Morningstar	1-3	1	26/2.7	-	Beat Stab	3-5	20% 15%			Can be bought from Zombie Hunters Inc.
Steyr M48 security flail	3-6	1	26/2.6	-	Elec Stab Beat	3-6 2-6 3-6	25% 10% 10%		1.5kg	Found in the mall, p okay with its unique electric damage.
Nunchaku	4-6	1	21/2.6	*	Beat	1-4	35%		1.0kg	One handed and pretty easy to speedcap, however, the damage scaling is rather underwhelming. Found on Kakuri.
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.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Shuriken	1-3	1	?	-	Stab	2-6	35%			You can get these from Roshi on kakuri.
Boomerang	2-5	1	?	-	Beat	3-9	30%			If you throw it, it comes back! Improvise one with scrap wood.

Fishing

PvP, PvE, and PvFish with them. What's not to like?

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Bamboo fishing pole	1-3	1	?	-	Stab	1-3	0.45			Gets 'stuck' like flail on occasion.
Wood fishing pole	1-3	1	?	-	Stab	1-3	0.45			See above.
Carbon fishing pole	1-3	1	?	-	Stab	1-3	0.45			See above. This one has a radar you can use to see fish at certain water depths.

Scavenge

There is only one scavenge weapon in existence. Only good for grinding your first few scavenge raws.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
Rusty can opener	0-2	1			Slash Stab	1-2 1-2	5% 10%			Common orphan drop

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 XP total and Dodge reduce 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 soaks, total XP 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.

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 below 200k xp 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 up until around 150k xp.

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 high focus 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.
