− | {{ | + | Gladii can be crafted at either a [[fueled smithy]] or an [[electric smithy]] once the [[research#Smithing|Smithing]] research has been completed with {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. It requires a [[Skills#Crafting|crafting skill]] of 3 to craft. |

− | + | The gladius is stronger than a [[knife]] or [[ikwa]], but weaker than a [[spear]] or [[longsword]], of the same materials and [[quality]]. For melee weapons unlocked with Smithing, it is the strongest one against unarmored opponents. If you can hold out until the [[Research#Long blades|Long Blades]] research, you can start crafting the numerically superior, but more expensive, spear and longsword. | |

− | + | As a sharp weapon, its attacks can cause bleeding, but most armor has a higher Sharp% rating. The [[mace]] starts to become stronger when fighting against mid-tier armor, like [[flak jacket]]s, for the same research and material cost. Against [[flak vest]]s and [[recon armor]], a [[steel]] gladius is even worse than a [[wood]]en [[club]]. Gladii are relatively better if you have [[plasteel]] readily available, and maces are better if you have [[uranium]]. | |
− | + | A steel gladius of excellent quality or worse is inferior to a normal plasteel knife, such as the one given at the start of the [[scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]] [[scenario]]. Knives also have the advantage of attacking faster, which can train melee skill, and is slightly better for low-accuracy attackers in general. | |
