The gunlink is a piece of headwear added by the Royalty DLC that increases the wearer's accuracy with ranged weapons but provides no protection or insulation.

Acquisition

Gunlinks can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Gunlink research project has been completed. They require Plasteel 10 Plasteel, Advanced component 1 Advanced component, 15,750 ticks (4.38 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 6.

Alternatively, the armor can be received as a quest reward, purchased from traders, or found on Imperial forces.

Summary

Gunlinks offer no protection or insulation but increase the wearer's shooting accuracy by +3.0. The quality of the gunlink does not affect the bonus to accuracy. Gunlinks prevent the wearing of any other headgear. It does not count as clothing for nudity, such as for the nudist trait.

The table below shows post-processed shooting accuracy per tile of distance for each skill level, with and without a gunlink, assuming the pawn is healthy. It also shows the improvement to DPS of wearing the gunlink at Short (12 tiles), Medium (25 tiles), and Long (40 tiles) ranges. That is; if it shows 200%, a pawn wearing the gunlink will deal 200% of the DPS of an equally skilled pawn without a gunlink using the same weapon.

    10 97% 97.75% 110% 121% 136% 20 99% 99.313% 104% 108% 113%
  • Note that shooting accuracy for the pawn has exponential decay calculated per tile, meaning that a small increase (even 1%) in shooting accuracy will have a significant effect at longer ranges.

    For example:

    • A colonist with shooting accuracy of 99% has a base accuracy of 72.5% against a target 32 tiles away (0.9932 = 0.7249)
    • With 98% accuracy, the base accuracy against the same target becomes only 52.4% (0.9832 = 0.5239).

    Analysis

    The only stats that are meaningfully affected by quality are the deterioration rate and market value, thus in most cases there is essentially no benefit and some detriment to higher quality gunlinks. Note that deterioration rate only applies to deterioration from being outdoors and the like, it does not affect the damage taken from attacks or being worn day-to-day. Properly storing any unworn gunlinks, as you likely are anyway, completely negates the benefit.

    The gunlink provides an additional +3 shooting accuracy, translating into an additional 3 levels of skill at the cost of providing absolutely no protection or insulation to the head. In normal firefights, the gunlink should be passed over for helmets, but should be prioritized over hats and masks. The gunlink is better used for snipers with a Sniper rifle to take out far away targets.

  • Version history

    • 1.2.2753 - Added. Fix: Gunlink displays shooting accuracy stat offset as %.
    • 1.4.3523 - No longer counts as clothing for nudity.
    • 1.4.3563 - Reduce the frequency at which they appear in quest rewards, as they're overrepresented at low colony wealth values.
