Weaponry
Revision as of 20:23, 3 May 2017 by imported>Sobek (→Pistols: no handloads for hammerheads)
These are 95% of the weapons available to players in Hellmoo.
Do not judge weapons by their base damage as most of them benefit massively from brawn and skill scaling. Melee weapons depend on Reflexes for speed, firearms depend on Brawn for speed.
Keep in mind that weapon speedcaps on this page may not always be accurate - some have been recorded in Normal fightstyle, others in Aggressive.
For melee weapons, only their primary damage type will scale up with brawn and skill. Other damage types (like the extra stab on the katana or the extra beat on the edison gauntlet for example) will not scale higher than their listed base damage.
Firearms on the other hand will have all of their damage types scale higher with skill. Any weapons with brawn scaling (including weapons modded with monowire kits) will scale negatively for characters with less than 8 brawn.
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. All melee weapons that do certain damage types (see below) will also have their crit% buffed by the player's Torture skill.
Additional data available at Weapons (Programming). Not very reliable since it is several years outdated.
Damage Types
| Type | Buffed by Torture? |
Associated weapons | Critical effects / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beat | No | Blunt weapons, waster shells, buckshot shells. | Can break limbs and has a higher chance to knockout on a head shot or groin shot. Broken limbs can debuff dodge and weapon skills. Hitting broken limbs can put the target into shock. |
| Slash | Yes | Edged weapons, bolo shells, fletch shells. | Can cause bleeding and castration on lucky hits. |
| Stab | Yes | Pointed weapons, needle pistol/rifle. | Can cause bleeding. |
| Bullet | No | Firearms, Pistol Hammer. | Can cause bleeding. |
| Explode | No | Bombs, Thumper magazines, plane crashes, telefragging, etc | Can cause bleeding, stuns, and shock. Will also gib corpses. |
| 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. | Can cause stuns, burning and shock. |
| Acid | Yes | Venomous Whips, Sagebrushes, Freakbiles, Corrosive Pikes, Corpclave chemical traps etc. | Can cause shock, which greatly debuffs a myriad of stats, but especially brains, dodge, and focus. Players must make an endurance check to move whilst in shock. |
| Radiation | No | Having lots of rads in your system, some enemies. Not to be confused with ambient radiation that only increases your rads. | Not soakable. |
| Irradiation | No | Abomination claws, RIP-10 Cherenkov, Chobo Knives with the waste catalyst mod, waster shells, some enemies. | Can cause burning and inflict rads. |

| Cold | Yes | Ectoblast ammo, Gulfhounds, Iceblox ammo, environments, etc. | Can cause the cold status effect, which inflicts damage over time and debuffs brawn, reflexes, and endurance. Cold stacks decay very slowly. Can also cause shock. |
| EMP | No | Crystal Spikes, Illuminol Clips, EMP Shotguns, Proton Packs, EMP weapon mods, RIP-10 Cherenkov, EMP grenades, etc. | Can cause shock and rarely inflicts mentals 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. Can also cause shock. |

Weapon mods
Here is a consolidated page to a list of melee and firearms mods. Credit goes to Twerp and Dibolcrif for the firearms info.
A comprehensive table on what each firearm can be modified with is also available at Gunmodtable.
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 both extremely cheap/easy to acquire 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 | 22/2.6 | Beat | 1-3 | 20% | 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. A terrible weapon, don't bother with them. Used to make tesla and edison gauntlets. | |||
| 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 | 22/2.6 | 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 | 22/2.6 | Beat | 3-6 | 15% | 0 | Bought from Ammunation. Your bread and butter fist. Most fist users who don't go ripper/abom will throw on a force enhancer kit and spend a lot of time with these. Damage can scale even higher than jawbies with extremely high Brawn. Also takes many club specific mods like the inertial damper. | ||
| Claw (Ripper) | 3-5 | 2 | 22/2.6 | Slash Stab |
3-7 1-6 |
30% 30% |
0 | Mutating ripper replaces your regular fists with this. You can butcher and fish with them, but not fondle or wank without hurting yourself or the target. | ||
| Uru pounders | 3-6 | 2 | ? | Beat | 3-7 | 35% | Weighs 6kg. Get from gammaprole stockboys. | |||
| Claws and Fangs (Abom) | 3-6 | 2 | 22/2.3 | Slash Stab Irradiation |
3-7 3-7 2-5 |
30% 30% 10% |
0 | Mutating Abomination replaces your claws with this. | ||
| 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 | 26/2.3 | * | 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 | 28/2.4 | * | Electric Beat |
5-14 5-15 |
35% 25% |
Upgraded Tesla gauntlets. These are slightly slower, but have vastly improved damage and crit chance (5-40 Elec + 5-15 Beat on a buffed Abomination). Unlike Tesla gauntlets, Edison's damage scales more off of Brawn than skill. | ||
| Jawbreaker | 7-* | 1 | 24/2.4 | Beat | 3-9 | 35% | Bought from Pegleg Pete's in Botany sometimes. Defines fists - fast, good damage, and random stuns. Used to be a lot better. The absolutely Best overall fist weapon. Edisons might be better for pvp in some cases. | |||
| Pair of Pata Gauntlets | 8-* | 2 | 26/2.3 | ** | Slash Stab |
3-11 5-10 |
40% 40% |
Craft only. PC ** and decent speed, they are something to be feared when wielded by an endgame fister. |
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 |

| #217 Pipewrench | 1-3 | 1 | 26(?)/4.1 | * | Beat | 1-3 | 10% | 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% | 0.7kg | Bought from Ammunation. Bad damage but decent speed, not bad for early grinding. | |

Crafted from baseball bat + razor ribbon. | ||
| Toilet Plunger | 1-3 | 1 | 26(?)/2.6 | * | Beat | 2-4 | 5% | From a groundspawn in the orphanage. Alright scaling, but forever a newbie weapon. | ||
| Sagebrush Stick | 1-3 | 1 | 26/2.6 | * | Acid | 2-5 | 8% | 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 |
30% 10% |
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% | 1.5kg | Bought from BrickArms in Weezer, though it requires 50 Weezer rep. These are okay. | |

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 | ? | Good for door bashing, but far too slow for real combat. Gangland shadowy figures sometimes have them. | ||

2-4 1-1 |
10% 0% |
Monster hunter, anyone? | ||
| Softball Bat | 3-5 | 1 | 26(?)/4.1 | * | Beat | 4-9 | 20% | 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% | 1.5kg | 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% | 1.5kg | The blacklash of clubs. Can be bought easily in Ammunation. Slap on a shock module and go to town on everything. | |

5-12 2-8 |
50% 20% |
4.5kg | From Ammunation or Gangland firemen. Staggering slash damage with high brawn, but heavy and inaccurate. Still as powerful as it is plentiful. | |
| Pimp Cane | 5-7 | 1 | 27/2.6 | Slash Beat |
3-10 1-4 |
30% 30% |
0.5kg | From Thug Lyfe in Gangland. PC0 and does slash damage, though if you can use a pimp cane, you can probably find something better. | ||
| Santa Cane | 5-7 | 1 | ? | Slash Beat |
3-10 1-4 |
30% 30% |
A reskinned pimp cane. | |||
| Crime Stick | 5-7 | 1 | 26(?)/3.9 | * | Beat | 6-16 | 20% | 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% |
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% |
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. | |
| Giant Wrench | 6-8 | 2 | 26(?)/6.1 | ** | Beat | 10-25 | 25% | 10.0kg | Craft from several plutonium rods. Schematics can be found in Diablo Seco. Heavy as HELL and constantly irradiates you but has strong anti-parry/anti-dodge powers. Scales insanely with brawn. Bad fuckin' ass. |
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% | 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% |
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% |
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% | Complete shit, only good for grinding. | ||
| Venomous Lash | 3-5 | 1 | ? | * | Acid Slash |
3-8 1-3 |
20% 10% |
Craft only. An unusual acid damage type, but otherwise not that interesting. Schematic can be found in Sharpton. | ||
| Nail Sjambok | 4-6 | 1 | ? | * | Beat Slash |
2-7 2-5 |
10% 10% |
Rare find in Sharpton Projects in the riot locker. Mostly used for grinding, it's a better alternative to the much-slower venom lash, if you can get one. | ||
| Link Whip | 4-* | 2 | ? | ** | Beat | 4-8 | 15% | Fairly decent early game whip, does beat damage and is good for grinding. Has moderate Brawn scaling which is uncommon among whips. Requires a schematic and is crafted at the forge. Can be found on some enemies in Necropolis. | ||
| Flame Chain | 5-7 | 2 | ?/3.0 | ** | Burn Beat |
7-14 2-7 |
20% 5% |
1.2kg | Craft only. PC2 and kinda scales with Brawn, doesn't get very impressive damage now. Useful aginast midgame enemies weak to fire. | |
| Urumi | 5-7 | 1 | ?/2.3 | Slash | 6-12 | 25% | 1.0kg | Craft only. Lower accuracy, but dual wieldable. Parry class has recently been changed to PC0, making single Urus great for players with high dodge who wish to fight Nullianacs. | ||
| Razorchain | 7-* | 2 | ?/2.3 | ** | Slash Bleed |
8-15 1-2 |
30% 5% |
1.5kg | Often dropped from Necropolis freaks. Is used as a cheap, disposable (yet perfectly viable) endgame whip. Does plenty of slash damage with a ninetails mod, and a little bleed. Gyro this if you can speedcap it without balancing it. | |
| Blacklash | 7-* | 1 | ? | * | Electric Slash |
5-9 1-3 |
15% 5% |
0.6kg | Crafted or found on Necropolis freaks. Crafts into the infinitely better flash whip. | |
| Flash whip | 7-* | 1 | ?/2.3 | * | Electric | 6-12 | 17% | 0.6kg | Craft only. Dual wield these and max out your speedcap, another endgame whip similar to the Razorchain and Urumi. Electric damage is often soaked by enemies, but a pain in the dong to soak in PvP. |
Spears
All spears have a hidden +2 chance to parry.
There are great spears with Brawn scaling (Pitchfork, Chainsaw Lance, Abossegai, Large Scythe) as well skill scaling (Zap, Bo Staff, Garden Weasel).
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% | Found in the Orphanage. | ||
| Sharp Pole | 0-2 | 2 | 26/5.4(?) | ** | Stab | 2-6 | 20% | 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 | 26/2.6 | ** | Stab | 1-6 | 20% | Good beginner weapon, slightly lower minimum damage then the sharp pole, but faster, one handed, and can be used to grind for longer. 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 | 2-4 | 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 | ? | 3.0kg | Same as the rusty spike spear. From toxic dump freaks sometimes. Still slow as fuck. | |
| 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% | 2.0kg | A pain in the ass to find, and you probably won't get one unless you're specifically hunting. A journal reward from Michael Savage in Stormfront Island, or dropped from Sky Pirates in Necropolis Gate. | |
| Luftspeer | 5-7 | 1 | 26(?)/2.6 | * | Slash Stab Elec |
6-15 5-10 2-8 |
30% 40% 50% |
2.5kg | One time reward that comes premodded with a balanced grip, sharpening kit, monowire serrator, and shock generator. Gets insane DPS, especially when dual wielded. | |
| Rusty Scythe | 5-7 | 2 | 30/7.5(?) | ** | Slash Stab |
1-15 1-6 |
18% 15% |
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. | |
| Large Scythe | 5-7 | 2 | 4.0(?)/26 | ** | Slash Stab |
8-18 4-10 |
35% 25% |
3.0kg | Crafted from a rusty scythe and A(bo)ssegai. These now scale really well with brawn and can get a decent speed. The listed speed (probably) isn't the cap, but it's there to give you an idea of just how much better the speed is now. | |
| Pitchfork | 5-7 | 2 | 3.9(?)/26 | ** | Stab | 7-15 | 40% | Recently buffed. A bit slow, but now scales extremely well with brawn, though there are still better alternatives. Found on toxic dump freaks sometimes. | ||
| Scrapmetal Spear | 4-6 | 2 | 26(?)/3.6 | ** | Beat Slash |
3-6 2-10 |
10% 20% |
5.0kg | Bought from BrickArms in Weezer or found on highway molepeople sometimes. A bit heavy, but deals beat damage and gets some really nice brawn scaling. | |
| Corrosive Pike | 6-* | 2 | 31/2.6 | ** | Acid Stab |
6-6 6-8 |
5% 25% |
Craft-only, and recently made easier to craft. A remarkably... average weapon, not terrible but not too great either. Not much soaks acid. | ||
| Abossegai | 6-8 | 1 | ? | * | Stab Slash |
12-18 4-8 |
30% 20% |
Has a very high min damage compared to most other weapons and gets much better brawn and scaling than the assegai. One of the best one-handed spears. Find them on Necropolis abominations. | ||
| Willy Pete | 6-8 | 1 | 31/2.6 | * | Burn Slash |
2-9 5-13 |
25% 20% |
2.1kg | Craft only. Scales very well with brawn. A bit slow and inaccurate, but very useful for stuff that's weak to burn. | |
| Garden Weasel | 7-* | 2 | 24/2.6 | ** | Slash | 8-13 | 20% | 1.5kg | Very good. These actually exist in real life, look up a picture of one if you feel like wincing in sympathetic pain, they are found rarely from toxic freaks in the toxic dump and from a certain store in Necropolis Sewers. | |
| Chainsaw Lance | 8-* | 2 | 31/2.6 | ** | Slash Bleed |
5-16 4-8 |
35% | Craftable, or from Hawthorn, scales well more with brawn and does unsoakable bleed damage, other endgame spears like the Zap Brannigan, Weasel and Assegai scale with skill more. | ||
| Titanium Bo Staff | 8-* | 2 | 2.5 | ** | Beat | 7-15 | 25% | Craft only. The schematic can be found during a Botany journal. Does beat damage not common with other spears. | ||
| Zap Brannigan OFF | 10-* | 2 | 31/2.6 | ** | Stab | 5-10 | 15% | Is crafted and not easy to acquire. Requires power adapters to work well. Turn zap to on. | ||
| Zap Brannigan ON | 10-* | 2 | 31/2.6 | ** | Elec Stab |
6-16 5-15 |
35% 20% |
Requires power adapters with atomicells or cheap power adapters to use. Recently buffed to have much better skill scaling and electric damage. |
Blades
These do 7% of their damage (max of 3) through armor on crit and share similar stats to torture, meaning many blades will have higher crit chances.
Noteworthy Brawn scaling blades are the Bruce Springsteel and Bonesword, while the best skill scaling blades are the Hosaka, Chobo knives and the RIP-10 Cherenkov.
Also note that a lot of blades cap at 28 or higher Reflexes - hard to reach without drugs and/or radmutes.

Pistols
One-handed pistols can be dual wielded for a higher speed and penalty to their accuracy, if you have the Brawn.
Like all guns, pistols are PC-, meaning they cannot parry nor be parried. They also cut the Dodge of your enemy in half.
What really makes pistols shine are all the damage types you can deal - bullet, electric, acid, burn, slash, irrad, beat are just a few of them.
Pistols are also the only weapon class to take the recoil suppressor mod, which reduces the speedcap Brawn requirement by 5.

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.
Rifles are generally considered inferior to pistols, as duck and weave is unreliable in PvP and the available damage types are very limited.
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. Due to how parry-or-dodge works, this may not be worth it.

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.

Medic
Oddly enough, medicine can be weaponized.
Currently there is only one medic weapon in existence, but its low weight and unsoakable damage is enough to make it warrant its own class.

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.

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 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.
| Name | Effects | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grenade Launcher | Varies | Found in the Screamer Base Armory after completing Null's Salvation. 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 | Inflicts 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 | Inflicts Asperger's syndrome | Debuffs Focus and renders victims unable to emote or talk properly. An absolute hit at Club Hellfire. |
| Rapenade | Inflicts 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. |
| Cheap firecracker | Explosion | Very weak explosion. Use 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. |
| 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. |
| Metal Suitcase | Explosion | WMD (Multi-room explosion). Used in a journal. |
| Clusternuke pellet | Radiation+??? | WMD (Multi-room explosion). Kills |
| Dirty Bomb | Radiation+??? | WMD (Multi-room explosion). Essentially a budget clusternuke. |
| Landmine | Explosion | Explodes when someone enters the room. Can be avoided with enough 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. |
| 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. Similar to a suicide vest in strength. |
