| − | + | Pilum deal a great amount of damage per shot, matching the much more advanced [[sniper rifle]]. They also have a massive stopping power - able to stagger [[human]]s and anything smaller than 2.5 body size. However, pila have the slowest fire rate in the game, at least for conventional ranged weapons. They also have a terrible range, only outranging [[pump shotgun|both]] [[chain shotgun|shotguns]] and all [[grenades]]. And in terms of DPS, pila are very poor - even [[short bow]]s are superior. Therefore, pila are best used as support and hunting weapons. | |
Because of the immense damage per shot, pila are known to completely destroy body parts, which can maim or outright kill a pawn. And, as thrown weapons, pila have a tendency to strike internal body parts more often. A pila user in the back can fish for lucky hits and stagger enemies. The per-hit damage also makes them good for hunting, though problems can arise if the quarry turns manhunter. As a downside, pila are likely to dismember any enemies you might want to capture for yourself. | Because of the immense damage per shot, pila are known to completely destroy body parts, which can maim or outright kill a pawn.
