Offsets

First of all the following offsets are applied to the Move Speed Base value.

• Traits
  • Jogger: +0.4 c/s
  • Fast walker: +0.2 c/s
  • Slowpoke: −0.2 c/s
• Gear
  • Minigun: −0.25 c/s
  • Plate armor: −0.80 c/s
  • Flak vest: −0.12 c/s
  • Flak pants: −0.12 c/s
  • Flak jacket: −0.12 c/s
  • Marine armor: −0.40 c/s
  • Grenadier armor : −0.40 c/s

  • Cataphract armor : −0.80 c/s
  • Phoenix armor : −0.80 c/s
  • Prestige cataphract armor : −0.80 c/s

Factors

The following factors are applied after the Offsets.

• Moving capacity: 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 311%).
• Go frenzy (inspiration): x140%
• Light: Up to x80% for light values of less than 30%. Blind and darkness-preferring humans are unaffected.

External factors

The following factors do not show up in the pawn stat GUI and are applied after the Post factors.

• Floors and Terrain
  • Chest-deep moving water: x22%
  • Marsh, Shallow ocean water, Shallow water and Shallow moving water: x30%
  • Marshy soil: x46%
  • Mud, Soft sand and Ice: x52%
  • Sand: x76%
  • Lichen-covered soil: x81%
  • Soil, Stony soil, Rich soil, Rough stone and Rough-hewn stone: x87%
  • Straw matting: x93%
• Snow
  • Thin: x76%
  • Medium: x62%
  • Thick: x52%
• Weather
  • Rain and Foggy rain: x90%
  • Rainy thunderstorm and Hard snow: x80%

Example

Moving speed of a particular pawn can be calculated using the following formula:

Move speed = (Base value + Offsets) × Factors × External factors

Let us calculate how fast a human could possibly go. It would have the following values:

• Base value: 4.6 c/s
• Offset: +0.4 c/s (Jogger trait)
• Factors:
  • Moving capacity: x311% (bionic heart, two archotech legs, high on luciferium, go-juice, wake-up and yayo).
  • Go frenzy inspiration: x140%
• External factor: x100%

Move speed = (4.6 c/s + 0.4 c/s) × (3.11 × 1.4) × 1 = 21.77 c/s
