Overview

The game goes through a number of processes to determine how much damage a target receives and where that damage is taken once it is determined that the target will be hit. The first process is to check which HAM pools get targeted for a particular hit. There are three forms of attacks that can be made against a target. These are:

• Default Hits
• Scatter Hits
• Targeted Hits

Once a primary hit location is determined, then the majority of the damage (80%) is dispersed to that location and the remaining 20% of the damage is divided evenly; 10% for each remaining pool.

Default Hit Locations

When a default attack is made against a target, the system selects an area (referred to as a hit location) in which to inflict the damage on the target. The damage suffered by the target's ham pools are affected by the hit location which is selected. There are 9 PRIMARY hit locations:

• Health Pool: Hands, (left arm) Left Bicep, (right arm) Right Bicep, (left arm) Left Bracer, (right arm) Right Bracer, Chest
• Action Pool: Feet, Legs
• Mind Pool: Head

The to-hit chance per each part of a target is as follows:

• Head: 12.6%
  
• Feet: 16.1%
  
• Legs: 16.0%
  
• Hands: 10.6%
  
• Left Bicep: 3.8%
  
• Left Bracer: 8.5%
  
• Right Bicep: 4.7%
  
• Right Bracer: 8.7%
  
• Chest: 19.0%
  

What this breaks down to is that:

• 55.3% of shots hit Health (Hand, Left Arm, Right Arm, Chest)
• 32.1% of shots hit Action (Feet, Legs)
• 12.6% of shots hit Mind (Head)
