Editing Weapons

In RimWorld, weapons are used by [[colonists]] and [[raiders]] alike to fight each other, or sometimes to put down an enraged [[Animals|animal]].

Weapons have several characteristics that make them useful in different combat situations. They use no ammo even though there's [[Resources#Shells|Shells]] and [[Resources#Missiles|Missiles]] resources.

Here's the list of available weapons in the game as of build 213.
==Single shot==

===Pistol===
[[File:Equipment_Pistol.png|left]]The basic weapon of the game.<br />
Your first pistol is given to you upon first landing, it's lying on the ground waiting for a colonists to be assigned its owner, or for an equipment rack to be stored in. It has a fast single-round firing speed, but has a medium range and low damage.

"''Ancient pattern automatic pistol. Weak and short range, but quick.''"
*Damage: '''10'''
*Range: '''24'''
*Accuracy: '''4'''
*'''Single-shot'''
*Handling: '''Quick'''
*Usual price: '''$250''' (modified by [[trade]])


===Pump shotgun===
[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]A good weapon if you can get close, useless in the open or against rifles.
{{clr}}

"''Ancient design. Deadly, but short range.''"
*Damage: '''20'''
*Range: '''16'''
*Accuracy: '''7'''
*'''Single-shot'''
*Handling: '''Normal'''
*Usual price: '''$700''' (modified by [[trade]])


===T9 Incendiary Launcher===
[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]Single-shot rifle that sets its target, either living or ground, on fire. Its low base damage is compensated by the damage over time of the fire if not put out quickly. Effective against wild life since it burns their remains, leaving no trace behind. {{clr}}

"''Incendiary bolt launcher. Starts fires.''"
*Damage: '''4'''
*Range: '''24'''
*Accuracy: '''1'''
*Single shot
*Handling: '''Slow'''
*Usual price: '''$1800''' (modified by [[trade]])

==Sub-Machine Guns==

===Uzi===
[[File:Equipment_SMG.png|left]]A fast-firing submachine gun able to quickly stun a target in range.
{{clr}}

"''Ancient pattern submachine gun. Short range, low power, high rate of fire.''"
*Damage: '''5'''
*Range: '''24'''
*Accuracy: '''3'''
*'''Automatic fire'''. Shots per burst: '''4'''
*Handling: '''Normal'''
*Usual price: '''$800''' (modified by [[trade]])

==Rifles==

===Lee-Enfield===
[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]A slow reloading rifle able to take out target from a long range. In close quarters combat, it's slow handling makes it less valuable than a Uzi, a Shotgun or even a Pistol, but a colonist armed with a Lee-Enfield has the ability to run away from short range to take cover behind distant cover and fire accurate rounds without possibility of retaliation.

The Lee-Enfield outranges the automatic turrets, forcing colonists to expose themselves to take an rifle-armed raider out.

"''Ancient bolt-action rifle. Probably pulled from a basement somewhere. Good range, good power, low rate of fire.''"
*Damage: '''18'''
*Range: '''37'''
*Accuracy: '''9'''
*'''Single-shot'''
*Handling: '''Slow'''
*Usual price: '''$750''' (modified by [[trade]])


===M-16===
[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]Compromise between a slow firing rifle and a short-ranged machinegun, the M-16 can keep enemies in check at a range most weapons can't fire at. Its low power prevents it to be the ultimate weapon, however. {{clr}}

"''Ancient pattern military Weapon. Good range, low power, high rate of fire.''"
*Damage: '''7'''
*Range: '''32'''
*Accuracy: '''7'''
*'''Automatic fire'''. Shots per burst: '''3'''
*Handling: '''Normal'''
*Usual price: '''$1300''' (modified by [[trade]])


===R4 Charge rifle===
[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]Conventional assault rifle, great improvement over the Uzi. Good against packed enemies even though it also can dish out huge damage to single targets.
{{clr}}

"''Phase-charging energy/projectile rifle.''"
*Damage: '''14'''
*Range: '''24'''
*Accuracy: '''6'''
*'''Automatic fire'''. Shots per burst: '''3'''
*Handling: '''Normal'''
*Usual price: '''$2000''' (modified by [[trade]])


===M-24===
[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]An upgraded version of the Lee-Enfield rifle. Same limitations regarding close-quarter combat, but better qualities regarding range and power.
{{clr}}

"''Ancient pattern military sniper rifle. Bolt action. Long range, great accuracy and power.''"
*Damage: '''50'''
*Range: '''45'''
*Accuracy: '''9'''
*'''Single-shot'''
*Handling: '''Slow'''
*Usual price: '''$1500''' (modified by [[trade]])

==Thrown==

===Frag Grenades===
[[File:Equipment_Grenades.png|left]]Grenades have a very short range, a long aiming time, and a delay before exploding in a 3x3 area. Very dangerous to use, hard to hit with against moving targets, very expensive, they aren't the best choice all around for colony defense.
{{clr}}

"''Thrown explosive.''"
*Damage: '''65'''
*Range: '''12'''
*Handling: '''Super slow'''
*Area of effect: '''3x3'''
*Usual price: '''$2000''' (modified by [[trade]])


===Molotov cocktails===
[[File:Equipment_Grenades.png|left]]Molotov cocktails set a large zone on fire once it lands. Unfortunately, it is also super hard to hit the wanted target. {{clr}}

"''Thrown explosive.''"
*Damage: '''15'''
*Range: '''12'''
*Accuracy: '''Ridiculous'''
*Handling: '''Super slow'''
*Area of effect: '''3x3 cross-shaped'''

-'''Weapons''' are used by [[colonists]] and [[raiders]] alike to fight each other (and sometimes to put down enraged [[animals]]). Weapons have several characteristics that make them useful in different combat situations. They currently do not consume any ammunition, but instead take time to aim and additional cooldown time for subsequent shots.

+Weapons have several characteristics that make them useful in different combat situations. They use no ammo even though there's [[Resources#Shells|Shells]] and [[Resources#Missiles|Missiles]] resources.
-== Ranged weapons ==
+Here's the list of available weapons in the game as of build 213.
-Range weapons consist mostly of firearms, as well as explosives, other non-gunpowder weapons like [[Neolithic Weapons|bows and throwing spears]], and more advanced weapons like the charge rifle. A ranged weapon's accuracy and damage are also affected by its [[quality]] level.
+==Single shot==
-=== Firing cycle ===
+===Pistol===
-Once a target is selected, and the shooter is in [[#Range|range]], the firing cycle of ranged weapons can be broken down into three phases.
+[[File:Equipment_Pistol.png|left]]The basic weapon of the game.<br />
-# '''Aiming time'''. Sometimes referred to as '''warm-up'''. During this period the shooter will remain stationary and aim at the target before firing. The time this takes depends on the aiming time of the weapon, multiplied by the [[aiming time]] stat of the shooter. The remaining time until firing is displayed by a translucent white wedge displayed in front of the shooter. The wedge slowly thins until it disappears and the shot or burst is fired. During this time, the firing action can be canceled.
+Your first pistol is given to you upon first landing, it's lying on the ground waiting for a colonists to be assigned its owner, or for an equipment rack to be stored in. It has a fast single-round firing speed, but has a medium range and low damage.
-# '''Firing'''. Once aiming has finished, the pawn will fire the weapon. Ranged weapons either fire a single shot or a number of shots in sequence called a burst. The number of shots in a burst is determined by the weapon type and cannot be changed. Once begun, firing can't be interrupted manually, however it can be interrupted, such as by stunning. A burst will also end early if the target dies or is destroyed. There is a short delay, called "burst [[tick]]s", after every shot in the burst but the last.
-# '''Cooldown'''. Once firing is complete, a cooldown occurs. During this period the shooter will remain stationary. The time this takes depends on the cooldown time of the weapon, multiplied by the [[Ranged Cooldown Multiplier]] stat of the shooter.
-Once this cycle is complete, the process repeats.
-Thus optimum {{DPS}} is determined by the following equation:
+"''Ancient pattern automatic pistol. Weak and short range, but quick.''"
+*Damage: '''10'''
+*Range: '''24'''
+*Accuracy: '''4'''
+*'''Single-shot'''
+*Handling: '''Quick'''
+*Usual price: '''$250''' (modified by [[trade]])
-'''<code>Max DPS = (Damage &times; Burst Shot Count) &divide; ((Ranged Cooldown ([[ticks]]) + Warm-up ([[ticks]]) + (Burst Time ([[ticks]]) * (Burst Count - 1)) &divide; 60)</code>'''
-This optimum DPS is then affected by [[#Accuracy|accuracy]] to determine the actual DPS on target.
+===Pump shotgun===
+[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]A good weapon if you can get close, useless in the open or against rifles.
+{{clr}}
-=== Range ===
+"''Ancient design. Deadly, but short range.''"
-The ranges are measured in tiles and correspond to:
+*Damage: '''20'''
-* Touch = 3 tiles.
+*Range: '''16'''
-* Short = 12 tiles.
+*Accuracy: '''7'''
-* Medium = 25 tiles.
+*'''Single-shot'''
-* Long = 40 tiles.
+*Handling: '''Normal'''
+*Usual price: '''$700''' (modified by [[trade]])
-Every ranged weapon has an [[#Accuracy|accuracy]] for each range point. Between those ranges, the accuracy of the weapon is linearly interpolated. A weapon will never fire past its range stat, even if it has an accuracy value listed for longer ranges. For example, a pump shotgun, with a maximum range of {{Q|Pump shotgun|Range}} tiles, a Short range accuracy of {{Q|Pump shotgun|Accuracy (Short) Base}}% and a Medium range accuracy of {{Q|Pump shotgun|Accuracy (Medium) Base}}%. It will never fire at a target {{#expr:{{Q|Pump shotgun|Range}} + 1 round 0}} tiles away, but at a range of 14 tiles, its accuracy will be 2/13 of the way between the Short and Medium range accuracy values, or {{#expr: {{Q|Pump shotgun|Accuracy (Short) Base}} + ((14-12)*({{Q|Pump shotgun|Accuracy (Medium) Base}}-{{Q|Pump shotgun|Accuracy (Short) Base}}))/(25-12) round 0}}%.
-Ranged weapons wielders cannot fire at targets that are in melee range of themselves, but can target more distant enemies while engaged in melee. Note that NPCs will never target another pawn while engaged in melee.
+===T9 Incendiary Launcher===
+[[File:Equipment_Rifle.png|left]]Single-shot rifle that sets its target, either living or ground, on fire. Its low base damage is compensated by the damage over time of the fire if not put out quickly. Effective against wild life since it burns their remains, leaving no trace behind. {{clr}}

-Where:
+===Uzi===
-* [[Shooting Accuracy]]: Is the stat of the shooting pawn.
+[[File:Equipment_SMG.png|left]]A fast-firing submachine gun able to quickly stun a target in range.
-* Range: Is the distance in tiles between the shooter and the target.
+{{clr}}
-* Weapon Accuracy: Is the weapon accuracy of the weapon at that range. If it is not one of the listed values at 3, 12, 25, or 40 tiles, it is linearly interpolated between the nearest point above and the nearest point below the current range.
-* [[Weather]]: Is the accuracy modifier for a given weather ranging from 50% for Fog, to 100% on a clear day.
-* [[Smoke]]: If smoke occupies any tile directly between the shooter and target, it applies a 30% modifier (otherwise 100%).
-* [[Cover]]: Cover modifier for the target, based on cover objects and shooting angle.
-* [[Body size]]: A modifier based on the body size of the target. 0.5x for body sizes of 0.5 or lower, equal to body size for body size between 0.5 and 2.0, and 2.0x for body sizes of 2.0x or higher.{{Check Tag|Detail/Verify|Verify bounds and check where the multiplier is applied in the order of pperations}}
-* [[Ideoligion#Combat_in_darkness|Combat in Darkness]] Preferred Precept{{IdeologyIcon}}: If the shooter has the precept and the ''target'' is in darkness, +25% accuracy. If the shooter has the precept and target is not in darkness, -20% accuracy. Otherwise, 0%. For this precept, "darkness" is considered: 1. "Indoors" with 0% light level, 2. "Indoors" lit by only [[Darktorch#Summary|dark light]], or 3. Outdoors or Unroofed, only if the sun is at 0% light level.
-Related to accuracy, there are also [[friendly fire]] mechanics that prevent misses from hitting nearby allies within a certain radius.

-=== Stopping power ===
+==Rifles==
-{{Stub|section=1|reason=Lacking detail. How does stagger proc, what are its exact effects and durations, etc}}
-Stopping power is the ability of ranged weapons to cause stagger when hitting a target, slowing them down for a short{{Check Tag|How short?}} period. The size of the number relates directly to the body size of the pawn that can be staggered by the weapon - thus, to stagger [[human]]s a stopping power of {{Q|Human|Body Size}} or higher is required while to stagger an [[elephant]] a stopping power of {{Q|Elephant|Body Size}} would be needed.
-A typical ranged weapon has a stopping power of 0.5, however the following weapons have higher stopping powers:

-==== Listed DPS on weapons ====
+*Usual price: '''$2000''' (modified by [[trade]])
-The DPS listed on the info tab for weapons is deceiving as '''it is no longer used''' when a pawn equips the item (see below). Regardless this is how it is computed based on the melee attack options the weapon has:
+[[Category:Main]]
-# For each attack option compute the '''Selection Weight''' = '''Damage''' x '''Damage'''
+[[Category:Weapons]]
-# For each attack option compute the '''Selection Chance''' = '''Selection Weight''' / SumOfAll('''Selection Weights''')
-# Compute the '''Average Damage''' = SumOfAll('''Damage''' x '''Selection Chance''')
-# Compute the '''Average Cooldown''' = SumOfAll('''Cooldown''' x '''Selection Chance''')
-# Compute the '''Average DPS''' = '''Average Damage''' / '''Average Cooldown'''
-Note that this is mathematically incorrect (see below for more details). Below is an example with a Normal Persona Zeus Hammer:
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Attack !! Damage !! Cooldown !! Selection Weight !! Selection Chance
-|-
-| head || 31 || 2.2 || 961 || 81%
-|-
-| handle || 15 || 1.6 || 225 || 19%
-|}
-'''Average Damage''' = 31 x 81% + 15 x 19% = 27.965
-'''Average Cooldown''' = 2.2 x 81% + 1.6 x 19% = 2.086
-'''Average DPS''' = 27.965 / 2.086 = 13.40
-You can find more of these values in Dev mode >> Logging Menu >> Tools. There are also values listed for pawns and these are computed the same as above except that in step 1 you also multiply by 0.3 and the '''Chance Factor''' if one is specified. Note that just like the item values these are not actually used in the game anymore (see below).
-==== Listed DPS on pawns ====
-This is a system used since version [[Version/1.1.2610|1.1.2610]] and it is based on a category system. It is based on the attack options available however now we take both the options from the weapon as well as the options from the pawn (eg. fists) into account:
-# For each attack option compute the '''Initial Selection Weight''' = '''Damage''' x (1 + '''AP''') x '''Chance Factor''' / '''Cooldown'''
-# For each attack option determine the '''Category''' based on the highest weight value we just computed:
-#* ''Best'' if '''Initial Selection Weight''' >= 0.95 x MAX('''Initial Selection Weight''')
-#* ''Worst'' if '''Initial Selection Weight''' < 0.25 x MAX('''Initial Selection Weight''')
-#* ''Mid'' Otherwise
-# For each attack option compute the '''Final Selection Weight''' based on the categories:
-#* 0.75 / NumberOfOptionsIn(''Best'') if the option is in the ''Best'' category
-#* 0.25 / NumberOfOptionsIn(''Mid'') if the option is in the ''Mid'' category
-#* 0.0 if the option is in the ''Worst'' category
-# For each attack option compute the '''Selection Chance''' = '''Final Selection Weight''' / SumOfAll('''Final Selection Weights''')
-# Compute the '''Average Damage''' = SumOfAll('''Damage''' x '''Selection Chance''')
-# Compute the '''Average Cooldown''' = SumOfAll('''Cooldown''' x '''Selection Chance''')
-# Compute the '''Average DPS''' = '''Average Damage''' / '''Average Cooldown'''
-Below is an example with a pawn carrying a Normal Persona Zeus Hammer (note that AP is not specified and therefore is defined as '''Damage''' x 0.015):
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Attack !! Damage !! Cooldown !! Armor Piercing !! Chance Factor !! Initial Selection Weight !! Category !! Final Selection Weight !! Selection Chance
-|-
-| head || 31 || 2.2 ||  ||  || 20.64 || Best || 0.75 || 75.0%
-|-
-| handle || 15 || 1.6 ||  ||  || 11.48 || Mid || 0.125 || 12.5%
-|-
-| left fist (archotech arm) || 14 || 2 ||  ||  || 8.47 || Mid || 0.125 || 12.5%
-|-
-| right fist || 8.2 || 2 ||  ||  || 4.60 || Worst || 0.00 || 0.0%
-|-
-| teeth || 8.2 || 2 ||  || 0.07 || 0.32 || Worst || 0.00 || 0.0%
-|-
-| head || 5 || 2 ||  || 0.2 || 0.54 || Worst || 0.00 || 0.0%
-|}
-'''Average Damage''' = 31 x 75% + 15 x 12.5% + 14 x 12.5% = 26.875
-'''Average Cooldown''' = 2.2 x 75% + 1.6 x 12.5% + 2 x 12.5% = 2.100
-'''Average DPS''' = 26.875 / 2.100 = 12.80
-Note that in this case upgrading the left arm actually decreased the average DPS (from 13.17 to 12.80) by moving an inferior attack option from ''Worst'' to ''Mid''.
-There is a peculiarity in the description above as it seems that the AccuracyTouch properties of ranged weapons is not used. This may be a bug as it seems intended that it should have been used.
-== Biocoding ==
-{{See also|Persona weapons}}
-Any weapons carried by non-colonists can arrive on the map "biocoded", meaning that weapon is ''only'' usable by the specific pawn that the weapon is biocoded to. Biocoding on weapons cannot be changed or erased, but pawns recruited as colonists will still be able to use weapons biocoded to them.  These weapons are occasionally found on raiders, guests and other pawns, and cannot be sold. They can be [[Electric smelter|smelted]] and have a specific option in both the bill menu and in [[stockpile]]s to allow their sorting.
-== Unobtainable weapons ==
-{{Main|Unobtainable items}}
-Certain weapons are equipped exclusively by [[mechanoid]]s or [[turret]]s. These cannot be obtained independently from their regular users without the use of [[dev mode]]. When a normal pawn equips a debug-spawned weapon and then drops it, the weapon will disappear.

-== Version history ==
-* [[Version/0.0.245|0.0.245]] - Shooting accuracy split into into misses due to equipment and misses due to skill.
-* [[Version/0.0.250|0.0.250]] - Melee attacks incap more than guns and explosives. '''N.b. That this change may or may not be represented in the current version. It was only added in this previous version.'''
-* [[Version/0.8.657|0.8.657]] - Melee weapons have a [[quality]]. Can now craft any kind of melee weapon from appropriate materials.
-* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - High-quality weapons have art engraved into them. All weapons now have quality levels, including guns and bows. Quality affects accuracy.
-* Beta 19/1.0 - Debuffed ranged weapon melee attacks to be in line with fists in terms of DPS. Serious melee weapons ([[knife]] on upward) across the board 5%-10% DPS buff. Pawns hit by ranged attacks now stagger the same way as pawns hit by melee attacks. This effect only happens if the weapon's stopping power stat is equal or greater than the target's body size. Missed shots now have a 50% extra chance of hitting nothing; this will make missed shots less likely to hit random things (but doesn’t change the chance of missing).
-* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Biocoding added
