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 Additional data is available at Weapons (Programming), but is for reference only, being out of date and unreliable. 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, 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	Waster shells, radbolts, 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, 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, Krysknives, Illuminol Clips, EMP Shotguns, Proton Packs, EMP mods/grenades, 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, Bolo shells, 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 every 0.1 attackspeed above 3.0, all weapons gain +1 minimal damage for their main damage type up to max.
    • For shotguns, it's 0.3 attackspeed per +1 minimal damage.
• 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.
• Some firearms can switch to burst or full-auto modes, which consumes more ammo per shot, but increases tohit and damage depending on the weapon used.
• 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	?		0.8kg	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.
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% 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.
Razor Bat	0-2	1	?	*	Beat Slash	1-6 3-3	20% 35%		1.5kg	Crafted from baseball bat + razor ribbon.
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.
#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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
Slam Bat	4-*	2	26(?)/3.5	*	Beat	6-8	20%	+1	1.5kg	Bought from Ammuntion. You can get these for free from hepcats.
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 south island on an inner tile. Looks like cheaper version of wrench, worse in every way. Probably the heaviest conventional weapon in the game.
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 is needed to craft this.
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!

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
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.
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.
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.
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 (Hint: Improv with rusty .38).

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.

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%		0.2kg	Scavable in gangland, should be used for getting to 1 raw in whips.
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.
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.
Link Whip	4-*	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-*	2	?/3.3	**	Burn Beat	7-14 2-7	20% 5%	+0	1.2kg	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. Drops from Karnivores in Nukem Academy. Very dangerous area.
Urumi	5-*	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. (Uwumi - Lyrun)
Razorchain	6-*	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.

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

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.

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.

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.
Signpost Spear	1-3	2	?	**	Stab	1-7	?		1.5kg	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.
Tiki Torch	1-3	2	28	**	Burn	7-10	20%	0	1.6kg	Rare from racists. Newbie weapon, more of a brawn spear, caps out at 30 at most. Accepts monowire mod.
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.
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.
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.
Necronata	8-*	2	27/2.6	**	Slash	7-14	40%	+3	2.0kg	Craft-only, slash alternative to w00tz bo staff. Scales very well with skill, less so with brawn, and cannot accept Monowire. Schematic given upon completion of the Resistance Runner job in Carcinoma.
w00tz Bo Staff	8-*	2	27/2.6	**	Beat	8-22	20%	+2	2.0kg	Craft only. Very good, especially against things with poor beat soaks. Accurate and pretty easy to speedcap. Can take the dampener mod but not the force enhancer, so this thing is very good skill more than brawn users, even for those at lower reflexes.
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.
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					Stab Elec	5-15 6-16	25% 20%			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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Plywood Sword	1-2	2	?	*	Beat	1-1	?		1.0kg	Random orphan drop. These can break permanently outside of the weapon condition system, so they're actually not too good for grinding.

Butane Torch ON					Burn	10-15	20%		0.85kg	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 or the Doodazil Doodor. Still does decent burn damage.

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.

Heavy Sword	2-4	2	28/3.4	**	Slash Beat	3-5 3-5	40% 30%	0	3.0kg	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.
Ice Pick	2-4	1	?		Stab	2-4	30%		0.35kg	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 them a cheap ghost killing weapon of choice.
Krys	2-4	1	?	*	EMP Slash Stab	5-5 3-3 3-3	30% 10% 10%	+2	1.5kg	Not to be confused with krysknife, this is crystal spike's big brother, and a relatively simple craft out of it. A much better option for ghosthunting since EMP scales here.
Suburito	2-5	2	27?	**	Beat	1-9	30%	0	1.0kg	Obtained as a reward from fully completing the False Flag Defender job. Caps at about 30 beat (and 39 with brawn). Fast with good crit, but poor minimum damage. Special mod pool: can take inertial damper and force enhancer, but cannot take sharpening kit or lumission edge module (it has no edge, duh).
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.

Lotus Nodachi	4-*	2	?	**	Slash Stab	5-10 6-10	35% 20%	+1	1.5kg	One-time journal reward from Kakuri. Amazing low/mid level blade.
Plasteel Longsword	4-*	2	?	**	Stab Slash	8-10 8-10	20% 20%	+1	1.5kg	Crafted alternative to Lotus Nodachi, has the same speedcap. Noticeable for having stab as its main damage type and is a solid option if you lose your Lotus Nodachi.
W00tz Rapier	4-*	1	?	*	Stab Bleed	6-8 1-2	30% 15%	+1	0.7kg	Crafted lowbie blade, a one-handed PC1 alternative to Lotus Nodachi/Plasteel longsword. Also used in crafting other blade.
Gas-Powered Chainsaw OFF	5-7	1	?	*	Slash Bleed	5-10 2-4	30% 0%		5.0kg	Craft only. Needs fuel to start-up.
Gas-Powered Chainsaw ON					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.
Chaindriver OFF	5-*	1	27/2.6	*	Slash Bleed	5-10 2-4	30% 0%	+1	5kg	Crafted upgrade to the gas-powered Chainsaw. Needs fuel to start-up
Chaindriver ON					Slash Bleed	7-14 2-5	50% 20%	+1	5kg	Has the same min damage scaling that the chainsaw has, and very little of its downsides, making it a serious damage dealer for brawn bladers. Can only take grip and elemental, like its predecessor.
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-*	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.
W00tz Khanda	6-*	2	32/2.6	**	Slash Stab	9-14 3-6	30% 30%	+2	1.4kg	A crafted alternative to Hosaka Daikatana, identical to it in all aspects. So identical that it could be put into a trophy rack, but this was fixed.
Ornate Epee	6-*	1	26	**	Stab Bleed	8-10 2-2	40% 15%	+2	0.9kg	High-end skillblade crafted with a ton of gems. Damage caps in high 20s, but is very fast and can be double-wielded. Also notable for being PC2 despite being one-handed.
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%		4.5kg	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.
Krysknife	8-*	1	?	*	Stab Slash	4-16 3-6	35% 25%	+2	1.5kg	Not to be confused with krys, it's a high-end PC1 weapon, Samsara's chobo knives, but unlike them krysknives are easy to speedcap. Only grip mod it can take is grip tape.
RIP-9 Shiver Sword OFF	10-*	2	3.1	**	Slash	2-7	20%	+2	1.6kg	Craft only. Needs to be turned on to be useful. Turned off, it still scales impressively with skill.
RIP-9 Shiver Sword ON					Slash	8-27	28%			Needs a cheap power adapter or a normal one with an atomicell to operate. Accurate and deals as high as 50~ slash damage, but does not take any grip mods and does not take lumission. Weight depends on if you use the 1.5kg cheap adapter or 1.0kg 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.

					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.

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.

					Shot	12-26	30%	CopKiller clip		1.5kg 0.3kg	Ammo is bought at 77Jacks. Better than regular 12mm clips.

					Shot Bleed	11-22 1-1	32% 0%	ChudStopper clip		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 5-31 Shot + 1-9 Bleed damage. Deadly in the right hands.
					Shot Bled	10-26 1-1	35% 5%	Blacktalon clip		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.
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.
Super Shorty	13-*	2	19/2.9	-	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.
					Shot	15-30	25%	Slug shell		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.
					Slash Slash Slash	5-13 5-13 5-13	20% 20% 20%	Fletch shell		1.8kg 0.1kg	Great for shredding up zombies. Garbage against anything with decent slash soak. Ammo sold in Botany and Zombie Inc, Slagtown.
					Stab Electric	1-1 10-20	0% 0%	Electric Shell		1.8kg 0.1kg	Ammo of choice for killing abominations, fucking anyone now. Expensive South Necropolis ammo.
					Burn Burn	8-16 7-14	30% 20%	Incendiary shell		1.8kg 0.1kg	Nullianac pack killers. Cheap from South Necropolis and Botany sometimes, and fantastic on anything else with low burn soaks.
					Shot Slash Bleed	5-10 15-25 2-5	10% 25% 70%	Bolo shell		1.8kg 0.1kg	Concentrated slash damage, great for killing almost anything with unsoakable bleed. Very expensive South Necropolis ammo.
					Beat Shot Radi	4-15 2-15 1-10	30% 20% 25%	Waster shell		1.8kg 0.1kg	Very nice, radiation damage isn't soaked by a whole lot of people. Frequent drop from Glowstiller bootleggers.

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.
.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.

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).

Most rifles are slow, but very hard-hitting weapons, with few (Hobgoblin, SCAR-L) outliers

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.

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.
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 Cold Waste	8-20 7-11 6-8	25% 10% 10%	Ectoblast cell	0	2.5kg 0.3kg	Ectoblast cells are craft-only. Not much soaks cold and waste, making this great for killing almost everything.
M100 rifle	1-4	2	?/5.2	-	Shot	7-14	15%	6mm clip	+3	2.5kg 0.2kg	The next step from the 10/22, bought from Blastarms. High damage but still a cheap, slow grinding weapon.
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.
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 lever-action in almost every way, but is unique for having a parry class of one. Takes all the shells etc. Classified as a shotgun.
Lever-action shotgun	3-5	2	5.1?	-	Beat Slash Shot	5-15	10%	Buckshot shell	+1	1.5kg	$9,000 from Zombie Hunters shop in slagtown. Run-of-the-mill shotgun, slow with high brawn requirement but very light and easily-available compared to SPAS - still remains competitive, even if speed hurts.
					Slash Slash Slash	5-15	10%	Fletch shell			Grab these in the same shop to kill zombies.
					Shot	25-35	25%	Slug shell			Probably highest pure shot damage you'll see at this raw level.
					Shot Slash Bled	5-10 15-25 2-5	10% 25% 70%	Bolo shell			Camp Benjamin ammo. Honestly still very good if you don't have rep or money for SPAS-12.
					Burn	8-16 7-17	30% 30%	Incendiary shell			Camp Benjamin ammo. Solid burn damage for... burn-weak things.
					Stab Elec	1-1 10-20	0% 0%	Electric shell			Camp Benjamin ammo. Use these in PvP because people don't soak electricity.
					Beat Shot Radi	4-15 2-15 1-13	30% 20% 25%	Waster shell			From bootleggers from glowstiller. Pain to farm, but with unsoakable bit of damage. While theoretical damage is higher than bolos, these are pain in the ass to get in any sizeable amounts.
American-180	3-*	2	12/2.6	-	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.
Wasteland Crossbow	4-*	2	?/7.1	-	Stab Beat	10-22 4-15	10% 20%	Bundle of rebar bolts	+1	2.2kg 0.3kg	Crafted, recipe simmed or from Capitalism, Ho! job. Very slow, a much shittier sniper rifle due to very low damage. Ammo is also crafted.
					Stab Beat Radi	5-10 10-18 6-14	5% 10% 25%	Bundle of radbolts			Radbolts are crafted from spent fuel rods, and are only marginally better than rebars, leagues behind sniper rifle due to secondary damage not scaling with minspeed.
Vector Carbine	5-*	2	?/2.6	-	Shot	7-15	20%	9mm Clip	+1	1.5kg 0.2kg	Craft only, tough to craft. Was buffed, now speedcaps at melee speedcap with higher damage per bullet in burst/auto modes. Actually viable now.
Rusty AK-7 rifle	4-*	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.
Tommy gun	5-*	2	18/3.9	-	Shot	8-22	30%	drum magazine		5.1kg 0.9kg	Craft only or bought at high Mafia rep from slagtown furry shop. Buffed with drum magazines being much easier to acquire, a decent low-bie choice if you don't mind the ammo and weight. With full-auto mode, you can still reliably hit things even if you don't have the raw for it.
AK-7 rifle	5-*	2	19/3.9	-	Shot	15-23	20%	7.62mm clip	0	3.0kg 0.3kg	Can be crafted bought from Pegleg Pete's in Botany or for free from couple named NPCs. 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.
AR-17 rifle	6-*	2	18/4.0	-	Shot	10-18	20%	7.62mm clip	+1	3.0kg 0.3kg	A very available weapon that is extremely easy to craft and make ammo for. Somewhat slow, but packs a good punch - a staple both in PvP and PvE.
				-	Shot	17-25	25%	hand-loaded 7.62mm magazine		3.0kg 0.3kg	Always get someone to make your regular 7.62mm clips into hand-loads, the increase in minimum damage makes aiming much more consistent.
				-	Shot Cold	12-18 0-0	20% 5%	7.62mm iceblox clip		3.0kg 0.5kg	Bought from Camp Benjamin. Generally unsoakable Cold damage scales to 0-6 (if you install propellant enhancer). Tiny bit better than standard ammo, but you miss out on sizeable chunk of damage compared to hand-loads due to damage increase from min speed. Generally not good.
				-	Shot Bleed	12-18 0-0	20% 5%	7.62mm blacktalon clip		3.4kg 0.3kg	Like Iceblox, but for bleeding.
tec-9 machine pistol	6-*	2	13/3.9	-	Shot	15-23	20%	9mm clip	-2	3.0kg 0.2kg	Very rare drop from karnivore soldiers/seniors in Nukem Academy top floor. Comparing to AR-17 - much easier to speedcap, no duck&weave, higher maximum damage and -3 tohit. Can also buy long 9mm clips from 77Jack (30 rounds)
						19-25	20%	Hand-loaded 9mm clip		0.2kg	Hand-loads have lower mag capacity (11) and provide modest but welcome increase in damage.
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.
Gremlin SMG	6-*	2	19/2.7	-	Shot	15-23	20%	9mm clip	?	3.0kg 0.2kg	Restored, recipe simmed. Not much better than the rusty version, but not as much as liable to explode (but still can).
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 randomly 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.
FN FAL rifle	8-*	2	18/4.4	-	Shot	12-20	20%	7.62mm clip	+3	3.0kg 0.3kg	Slow, but packs a punch with handloads. This is a decent rifle if you want to hit everything for consistent high damage, essentially a slower, more accurate AR-17. Acquired from the weapons locker in the Macero base.
					Shot	19-27	25%	7.62mm Handload		3.0 kg 0.3 kg	You're gonna want to turn all of your basic clips into this, +7 min damage is pretty fucking good.
Bullpup rifle	7-*	2	17/3.6	-	Shot	5-20	15%	5.8mm	-2	3.2kg 0.3kg	Crafted. Standard rounds are very weak, but this is slightly faster and easier to speedcap, a solid alternative to AR-17; somewhat inaccurate though.
					Shot	17-27	25%	hand-loaded 5.8mm		3.2kg 0.3kg	Hand-loads provide an insane increase in minimal damage making bullpup a good choice.
					Shot Cold	5-20 0-0	15% 5%	5.8mm iceblox		3.2kg 0.3kg	Scales to 0-5 (assuming propellant enhancer), see AR-17.
					Shot Bleed	5-20 0-0	15% 5%	5.8mm blacktalon		3.2kg 0.3kg	Like iceblox, but for bleeding. See AR-17.
Wasteland bullpup	7-*	2	17/3.8?	-	Shot	5-20	15%	5.8mm	-6	3.4kg 0.3kg	Looted bullpup, MUCH less accurate and a bit slower. Takes all the ammo listed in the regular bullpup. Just use normal bullpup.
Sighted Sturmgewehr	7-*	2	?	-	Shot	13-28	15%	5.8mm	+1	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	16/4.5	-	Burn	25-35	35%	plasma bottle	0	5.2kg 0.3kg	Craft only, difficult to craft. Slow but very nasty, has like 40 min damage at top-end due to min speed scaling with 35% crit rate, it's capable of overcoming most fire soaks people'll throw at you, PvE and PvP. Plasma bottles are an absolute bitch to craft. Use this to kill nulliniac packs or just things you want to see burn in hellfire.
					Elec	24-24	30%	ionized plasma bottle			Ammo recipe is even more sadistic than normal plasma bottles, but very, very fun. Very high damage, paired with difficult to soak elemental type this is deadly in PvP but not so much in PvE due to most mobs soaking elec (you're shooting gold at this point).
Goblin SMG	8-*	2	19/2.7	-	Shot	18-26	20%	9mm clip 9mm long clip	-2	4kg 0.2kg	Crafted from (restored) Gremlin SMG. Tiny chance to explode, can't be modded. Go for gold and get Hobgoblin.
					Shot	22-28	20%	hand-loaded 9mm clip			Always better with hand-loads.
SCAR-L	10-*	2	16/3.1	-	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. Bullet hose, very low minimal damage compared to other rifles, not good in PvP but a great gun neverthless. 5.56mm elemental ammo is non-existent.
Hobgoblin SMG	10-*	2	17/2.7	-	Shot	18-26	20%	9mm clip 9mm long clip	-3	5.0kg 5.2kg	Craft-only, recipe acquired from a boss in Wasteland. Very fast, very inaccurate, very heavy. Doesn't trigger duck and weave and cannot be modded.
					Shot	22-28	20%	hand-loaded 9mm clip			Hand-loads have a capacity of 11, making frequent reloading a problem with such speed, but with scaling damage comes close to bullpup/AR-17 that are much slower.
Needle rifle	10-*	2	?/3.1	-	Stab Stab Bleed	2-2 2-2 2-2	30% 30% 30%	needle clip	-1	1.5kg 0.05kg	Craft only. Maxed out, deals 2-10 on all damage types, not that great. Can be used underwater
Sniper rifle	12-*	2	18?/8.3?	-	Shot	18-38	50%	Sniper round	+4	4.5kg 0.3kg	Craft only. Especially useful for aiming-related shootings, and very good at that. Due to minspeed damage increase, in proper hands this will deal 50 damage minimum. A niche weapon.
SPAS-12	13-*	2	16/4.5	-	Beat Slash Shot	8-18	10%	Buckshot shell	-2	4.0kg	Camp Benjamin, requires high rep and $60k. A shiny gem in any gunner's arsenal, very slow but extremely high damage. Stock can be flipped either for accuracy (+2 tohit, -1.6 speed compared to listing) or folded for more speed. Use buckshot if you don't want to use expensive ammo. Does not duck&weave.
					Slash Slash Slash	8-18	10%	Fletch shell			Concentrated slash damage, perfect for murdering fucking anyone without any soaks and zombies.
					Shot	28-38	25%	Slug shell			High shot damage, if you for some reason don't want to use proper rifles.
					Shot Slash Bled	8-13 18-28 5-8	10% 25% 70%	Bolo shell			At top-end, you'll be seeing something like 70 total damage every hit across three damage types with 16 unsoakable bleed, not including crits. Very expensive Camp Benjamin ammo, but you'll be killing literally anything with it, including players. Fun.
					Burn	11-19 10-20	30% 30%	Incendiary shell			Essentially 2x20 damage at top-end, so comparable to plasma rifle in strength.
					Stab Elec	4-4 13-23	0% 0%	Electric shell			Hard-to-soak electric damage with a bit of stab. Bolos are still probably better in PvP though.
					Beat Shot Radi	7-18 5-18 4-16	30% 20% 25%	Waster shell			From bootleggers from glowstiller. Pain to farm, but unsoakable bit of damage. While theoretical damage is higher than bolos, these are pain in the ass to get in any sizeable amounts.

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.

Proton pack (Mk I)	4-*	2	16/5.2	-	EMP	11-16	15%	Mk I Energy Cells	+2	6.7kg	Useful for busting ghosts. Purchased in Slagtown. Can take laser sight and propellant enhancer.

Medic

Oddly enough, medicine can be weaponized. This class used to be a one-trick pony, but we're up to five(!) medic weapons now.

Name	Raw	Hands	Speedcap (Reflex req/max speed)	Parry	Damage Type	Base Damage	Crit%	Accuracy Modifier	Weight	Notes
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.
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. Not a good weapon.
Poison Pick	1-3	1	?		Stab	3-9	40%		0.35kg	Lootable from Hepcat Jack in Maas Neotek. Can infect whoever it hits with Ebola, also can break permanently at random. Still not that good.
Sonic scalpel	5-*	1	25/2.6		Bleed Slash	3-5 1-3	15% 5%	0	0.125kg	Damage caps at 3-15 bleed, scaling off skill, making it a great and easily the most popular light blade brainies can use to kill as well as butcher. Accepts lumission edge module. Can also be used to grind medic.
Bioptic Bonesaw	6-*	2	?	*	Slash Laser	6-10 3-5	30% 25%	-3	5kg	From maxing out Organ Repo completions. A brawn-scaling weapon, an oddity among medic weapons. Also accepts lumission mod.

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.

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.

Rope Knife	1-3	1	25/2.3 (?)	-	Slash	4-7	23%		1.0kg	Improv recipe from rope, combat knife, and gold hoop earrings.
Meteor Hammer	4-6	2	26/2.6	-	Beat	4-10	30%		4.0kg	Can be bought from Tree of Life in Botany Bay or the Mystery Den in Shoreline. Two handed and a bit inaccurate, but scales moderately well with brawn and skill.
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.
Kusarigama	8-*	2	25/3.0 (?)	-	Slash Stab	8-19 4-8	25%	+2	1.0kg	Scales slightly with brawn and weapon skill. Good slash / stab damage. Craft only on Blacksmith Forge.
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 freaks.
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.
