Armament[edit]

Generalist

  • Assault rifle Assault rifles are perfect for open engagements, with good damage, above-average range, and high accuracy. Strong for repelling against breachers and sappers, good overall. Skill friendly.
  • Heavy SMG Heavy SMGs are very skill friendly, close-medium ranged weapons. Great damage and accuracy up close, remaining decent at longer distances.
  • Charge rifle Charge rifles are high-tech versions of assault rifles. Stronger and with high AP, but with shorter range and less accuracy. Powerful weapon in its own right, if not as flexible. Quite expensive.

Specialist - Firearms

  • Chain shotgun Chain shotguns are one of the strongest weapons, but with pitiful range. Perfect for infestations and drop pod raids.
  • Minigun Miniguns fire a massive 25-shot burst. High cost, widly inaccurate, and with a huge cooldown cycle, miniguns are dedicated to crowd-control in stationary setups. (Missed shots can hit other enemies)
  • LMG LMGs are lighter miniguns, with a 6-shot burst. Can stagger humans, but lower single-target DPS than general options. Decent crowd-control and support weapon.
  • Sniper rifle Sniper rifles have the highest range in the game, but low firerate. Useful for picking off sieges, lone centipedes, etc. Very reliant on shooting skill.
  • Charge lance Charge lances have massive per-shot damage and high AP. However, actual damage output is rather low. This makes it a niche weapon, despite its cost and tech level.

Specialist - Explosives
All explosives do not rely on Shooting skill, Manipulation, etc., though are affected by Aiming Time.


LMG[edit]

AD HOC weapon testing:

  • Shooting 10, no traits, no health conditions.
  • Time to kill centipedes at range X when they are held in place by a nonviolent pawn. Player damage turned off.
  • Speed *2. Non-professional timing. All numbers rounded to seconds. Expect numbers to be off by 1-2 double-speed seconds.
