Summary[edit]

This page is supposed to provide some data for comparison between different melee weapons.

Comparison tables[edit]

The following tables compares the DPS of weapons of the same material and quality.

  • Since you realistically only ever want to make sharp weapons out of plasteel, steel or uranium, only those materials are considered.
  • Melee hit chance can be ignored, since we look only at relative differences.

Longsword Longsword vs. Spear Spear[edit]

Green indicates, that the longsword is better, red the spear.

Baseline human[edit]

Longsword vs. Spear

Quality Plasteel Steel Uranium
Awful 0.4768% 0.7825% −0.7576%
Poor 0.2132% 0.561% −0.8141%
Normal −1.5195% 0.2538% −0.9816%
Good 1.8135% 0.1159% −1.2318%
Excellent 1.8211% −0.1066% −1.3388%
Masterwork 1.7682% 0.9624% −0.4963%
Legendary 1.7847% 0.9224% −0.5814%

Archotech arms[edit]

Longsword vs. Spear

Quality Plasteel Steel Uranium
Awful 1.9451% 2.3988% 0.8746%
Poor 1.5416% 1.8868% 0.3927%
Normal 1.2127% 1.5912% 0.1188%
Good 0.9394% 1.2332% −0.1088%
Excellent 0.788% 1.1387% −0.3009%
Masterwork 0.3298% 0.6938% −0.755%
Legendary −1.2666% 0.307% −0.9651%

Conclusions[edit]

  • Whether the longsword or spear has more DPS is dependant on:
    • Mostly the chosen material.
    • Somewhat the achieved quality.
    • Somewhat on the attacks available to the pawn. Default attacks: left fist, right fist, teeth, head. Changed by injuries and artificial body parts (e.g. bionic or archotech arms, elbow blades Content added by the Royalty DLC, knee spikes Content added by the Royalty DLC or venom fangs Content added by the Royalty DLC).
  • However, for materials you actually want to choose (plasteel, steel or uranium), the differences rarely reach 2%.

Conclusion: As for pure DPS there is no clear winner between longsword and spear.
