Weapons

All weapons are available in six tiers, with all weapons excluding grenades available in four different rarities. There are eight possible weapons for each skill except grenades which have six. The extra weapons occur at item levels 2 and 4. Their names in the game files indicate as being included in a later update.


For simplicity all the guns share the ammo resource even though different ammo would be required in real life. The maximum ammo a jeep can carry is 120 bullets after all upgrades have been purchased. Additional ammo is acquired from ammo crates, which can be found after battles or bought from traders. Crates come in three sizes small (10 bullets), medium (15 bullets), large (25 bullets). Occasionally you'll encounter traders who will exchange fuel for bullets and vice versa.


An important point to consider when aiming at a target in cover. Your chance to hit is calculated as follows: (10 + (DEX [including bonuses] x10) + weapon accuracy modifier + skill tree modifier + off hand item modifier). There seems to be a hidden +10% to hit for shotguns and sniper rifles in build 1.1.6, making users of these weapons more accurate than you would expect. E.g. Georgette with DEX 5, +10 sniper accuracy skill, +10 weapon accuracy and an off hand item granting +10 sniper rifle accuracy will have a 90% chance to hit a target in cover. Whereas Leonara with DEX 2, no perks and an assault rifle with its -5 accuracy will have a 25% chance to hit someone in cover.


Grenades are included here as their stats are more in keeping with weapons than the supplies they consume.


Rarity[edit]

The rarity/grade of a weapon will be signified by the colour of its border. White is Common, blue is Rare, purple is Epic and gold is Legendary. All weapons grades can be found as loot. Merchants have similar odds of stocking Rare, Epic and Legendary items.


White items will have only the basic stats for that particular weapon. Signified with the prefix "Worn" or "Tarnished" in the item name.


Blue items will generally possess a very minor buff such as +5% accuracy or +5% crit chance. Signified with "New" prefix in the item name. Min damage increased by 5%; max damage increased by 10% compared with Common rarity.

There are usually three possible random buff options for any given weapon. These will vary between weapon types, but don't vary between weapons of the same type. E.g. all pistols share the same common buffs list, but the buffs list for sniper rifles are different. Otherwise the weapon stats for armour shredding etc don't alter.


Purple items will have a minor buff and usually one stat bonus as well e.g. +1 Dexterity or +1 Agility. Signified with "Superior" prefix in the name. Min damage increased by 15%; max damage increased by 20% compared with Common rarity.

As per rare items, the list of possible buffs doesn't vary within a weapon type. There are usually 3 weapon stat buffs and 4 minor (+1) character buffs that can be randomly chosen from. The list of character buffs is the same for all weapon levels within a weapon type. e.g. all epic pistols can potentially provide +1 dexterity. Some Epic weapons exhibit improved range over the common version.


Gold items each have a unique list of potential modifiers that can include: weapon stat modifiers, altering the damage type, have small or large character stat buffs such as +1 agility or +2 endurance or the ability to unlock perks such as Engineer. Some legendary weapons exhibit improved range over the common version. They are signified with "Splendid" prefix in the name. Min damage increased by 25%; max damage increased by 30% compared to Common rarity.

Occasionally the same list of possible buffs can be seen on two weapons of the same type, but the convention is each legendary has its own list of possible buffs. Only legendary disintegrators and armours share the same potential modifiers list from levels 1 to 6.


Particular stat buffs and skills can make a lower level Epic or Legendary weapon desirable for longer due to the benefits it provides even though its damage may be lower than a higher level item. E.g. A sniper rifle with plus 2 Dexterity for Veduti whose default Dexterity is 2.


IMPORTANT NOTES

All items listed below show the stats for their COMMON version only for simplicity.

Some guns have differing ranges with Common & Rare having the range listed below; Epic & Legendary with an asterisk (*) in their range exhibit the +1 max range.

The list of possible attributes for each legendary weapon are listed beneath the common versions to show how the weapon can be improved.

When a weapon is held by someone, their perks are automatically shown in the weapons profile to make comparison between the currently equipped weapon and a potential swap easier to see.

Skill Knife.png Knives

The only weapon that appears as both a primary weapon or a secondary weapon. In the event of equipping two knives, the one in the primary weapon slot takes priority for calculating damage.

Using a knife will always be better than a character's fist. From the game data, the maximum damage a punch can deal is 15 without scoring a critical hit. Knives also benefit from being able to ignore all armour, making them very useful against well-armoured targets.

Weapon Name Damage (Min-Max) Damage Type Armour Shredding Critical Hit Chance Critical Hit additional Damage Bleed Duration (enemy turns) Bleed Damage (% of knife damage) Item Level
Pocket Knife 18-22 armour piercing 4 15% +10 1 30 1

Cleaver 32-40 armour piercing 16 15% +22 1 30 5
Kukri 36-44 armour piercing 19 15% +25 1 30 6


Legendary weapon buffs One item from each column is chosen at random. The Bowie knife is the only legendary weapon to have the same stat capable of being buffed by +1 or +2 (Dexterity); should both be randomly selected you can have a +3 Dexterity Bowie knife.

A +3 Dexterity knife is a powerful aiming assist given that even the unique artifacts generally roll with no more than +2 to a stat, barring Petru's Amulet. It will turn average shooters into marksmen at the cost of significantly reduced melee damage vs a tier 5+ knife.

Skill Pistol.png Pistol

Deals less damage and typically has less range than an assault rifle, but has the same armour shred, is slightly more accurate, and doesn't need to reload as often. The special attack is very useful for tackling two enemies at once when Bravery allows, even if the targets are in different directions.

Hastings.png

N.B. Annabelle was wielding this pistol and her perks were +8% accuracy, +15% crit chance, +6 crit damage at the time of the screenshot. The splinter damage made it almost useless against shock troopers.

Skill Assault Rifle.png Assault Rifle

Longer range than most other weapons, and good damage output, but has a mild accuracy penalty making shooting at defended enemies trickier. Burst Fire special attack can target multiple enemies in a straight row; the row can be rotated to any orientation but must be entirely within weapon range. Usually this will be just two enemies, although opportunities can sometimes come up to hit more enemies in one burst attack. Just make sure you have enough ammunition loaded before attempting Burst Fire (1 per target). The attack can also hit the wielder if you place any part of the row of red aiming tiles on them.

Skill Shotgun.png Shotgun

Highest raw damage output of all the weapons, but is offset by its low ammo capacity, short range and low armor penetration.

The Shotgun Blast special attack is fairly easy to set up to hit multiple enemies in confined areas, but consumes 2 ammo which typically means a reload will be required afterward.

A weapon that needs to be reloaded frequently, so it is good to pair up with a knife or grenade since the wielder will have to be in close quarters anyway. Splinter damage is more easily stopped by armor, with the target's armor value being doubled in effect, thus reducing this weapon's potency when facing heavily armored targets. Best used against targets with high health but low armor, otherwise, allow other characters to attack first, weakening the target's armor. Takes practice to consistently use to full effect.

Skill Sniper Rifle.png Sniper Rifle

Longest range and highest accuracy out of of all weapons. Offset with the lowest base damage per hit. Sniper rifles with a high critical hit chance have much better odds of a one shot kill on exposed targets, whereas sniper rifles with very high accuracy will render cover useless for enemies. Also useful for shredding armor on tough foes from afar to soften then up for the rest of your party, and acting as a guard to lock down dangerous enemies through the use of the Ambush special ability.

Setting an Ambush will cause the sniper to watch a cone-shaped area during the subsequent enemy turn, and fire on any enemy that acts or moves in that area. A successful Ambush shot will cancel the enemy's action before it happens, so it can be used to halt enemies in exposed terrain as they move between cover, or to prevent them from attacking an ally.

Skill Disintegrator.png Disintegrator

Designed to rip through enemy armour and leave the victim vulnerable to follow up attacks; has a damage output and range equivalent to a pistol. It is also the only gun not to consume ammo, which can reduce the strain on the party's ammunition stocks. The downsides are its poor accuracy against targets in cover, and that critical hits improve the armour shred rather than damage dealt.

Best used in conjunction with a shotgun user to take down tough, heavily armored targets.

Legendary weapon buffs One item from each column is chosen at random. Of all the legendary weapon tables, the disintegrator has only 2 possible sets to pick from with a 3:5 split, making this the only weapon class that is somewhat predictable. +3 reflexes on a legendary weapon is theoretically possible, though there may be rules that prevent this from occurring.

Skill Grenade.png Grenade

Unlike other weapons, each use of Grenades consumes the group's Supplies rather than their Ammo stocks. Therefore the party is limited by the number of Supplies in the inventory, when determining how often they can employ these hand-thrown explosives.

Very effective against tightly clustered enemies, and also has armor shred on par with a Disintegrator hit. However, frequent use runs the risk of depleting Supplies when healing and repair may be needed instead. Typically best saved for situations where a grenade can hit/kill a large group of closely spaced foes.

Each character can throw a maximum of two per combat encounter, which means a maximum of 8 grenades can possibly be used in one combat if the team is composed entirely of grenadiers (also limited by available Supplies).
