== Weapon Mechanics Overview ==
  
  
 +
Weapons are broken up into two main categories: melee weapons and ranged weapons. Melee weapons require you to be close to your enemy and ranged weapons will fire a projectile from a distance.
 +
<br>
 +
Melee weapons can be broken down into sub-categories. They are as follows:<br><br>
  
 +
'''Unarmed Combat''' - Fighting with no weapon equipped is considered melee combat. Brawling is the fastest melee style, but the lowest potential for damage output.<br><br>
 +
 +
'''One-handed Sword''' - One-handed melee weapons are usually bladed and easy to swing. A one-handed weapon is a little slower than brawling, but the weapon will cause more damage than your fists.<br><br>
 +
 +
'''Two-handed Sword''' - Similar to one-handed weapons, these are usually bladed but they are someone heaver. That makes them slower than their one-handed counterparts, but the extra weight allows more damage to be dealt.<br>
 +
 +
'''Polearm''' - The largest of the melee weapons, these can be either bladed or blunt. These can sometimes be difficult to wield and as a result they are generally the slowest melee weapons to use. However, the sheer size of these weapons makes them the most dangerous to your enemies.<br>
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
Ranged weapons are also broken down into sub-categories. They are as follows:<br>
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Pistol''' - These small weapons are easy to carry and even easier to conceal. Their small size yields a relatively low damage output, but they recharge quickly allowing for a rapid rate of fire. The effectiveness of a pistol drops off at long ranges; they are usually used only for short range combat.<br>
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Carbine''' - These are good mid-range weapons. Carbines have a little trouble hitting targets at very long or very short distances, so at these ranges you may want to aim carefully. The capabilities of a carbine weapon allow for moderate damage output along with a fairly decent recharge rate.<br>
 +
 +
'''Rifle''' - Made to destroy enemies from afar, these weapons are most effective from long ranges. The sheer power behind a rifle makes it difficult to attack targets at a short range, but from a distance, a rifle has the highest damage potential of any ranged weapon. This does not come without a price however, as the power drain on a rifle makes for a long recharge time and a slow rate of fire.
 +
<br><br>
 +
Additionally, there is also a category of weapons known as munitions and heavy weapons. These generally include grenades and rocket launchers, and can only be used effectively by a few professions. The disadvantage to these types of weapons is that they are expendable, and can be used only a limited number of times.
 +
<br><br>
 +
Simply examine a weapon if you wish to check the damage output, attack speed, and range information.
 +
 +
== Weapon Attributes ==
 +
 +
 +
Weapon attributes are the modifiers and statistics found on a weapon. Weapons come from three sources: Crafting, Loot and as part of Quest rewards. Every type of weapon has a unique range of stats which can vary depending on the resources used in crafting or the luck of the player when the game randomly generates stats on a weapon that is given as loot.
 +
 +
The attributes are, divided into the following categories.
 +
 +
 +
'''Variation Of:'''   
 +
 +
This attribute spawns on any weapon that has had its base type name changed.  For player crafted weapons this type change occurs when the player renames the weapon from the default given one. The name change can occur automatically as the player chooses a particular style for the item during the customization process or by manually renaming the item in the name field. After changing the name the weapon now indicates that it is a variation of the specific type that it originated as. For looted weapons, this attribute occurs only on weapons that have been given the exceptional or legendary tags.
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
For more information about the Variation Of attribute, see [[General Item Mechanics (Game Mechanics)|
 +
General Item Mechanics]]
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Certified :'''
 +
 +
This attribute is present on all weapons and indicates whether the player has the necessary skill certification requirement to use the weapon by displaying a simple Yes or No. Players who are not certified to use a weapon will suffer a damage penalty when wielding the weapon.
 +
 +
'''Condition:'''
 +
 +
This attribute is present on all weapons and indicates the current hitpoints remaining on the weapon. 
 +
The left figure represents the current hitpoints on the weapon and the right represents the total max possible hitpoints.  A weapon will begin to lose damage potential if it falls below 25% of the max possible condition. If a weapon reaches 0 condition it will lose its damage. Items at 0 condition cannot be repaired.
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Volumn:'''
 +
 +
Represents the current container contents of the Item.
 +
 +
For more information about volumn counts, see [[Inventory Mechanics (Game Mechanics))|Inventory Mechanics]]
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Uses Remaining'''
 +
 +
Attribute found only on consumables such as grenades or heavy weapons. This displays the amount of times the item can be used before it expires and is removed from the players inventory.
 +
 +
'''Object Creator:'''
 +
 +
This attribute appears only on crafted items or looted components. The crafter's name is listed here.

 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Serial Number:'''
 +
 +
This attribute only appears on crafted items. This represents the alphanumeric code given to the item.
 +
 +
 +
See [[General Item Mechanics (Game Mechanics)|General Item Mechanics]], [[Using Schematics (Game Mechanics)|Using Schematics]] and [[General Crafting Mechanics (Game Mechanics)|General Crafting Mechanics]] for more information about Serial numbers
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Skill Mods:'''
 +
 +
This attribute only occurs on some looted exceptional, legendary items or certain quested rewards. Skill mods represent bonuses to a player's skills up to a maximum of 25.  Weapons are allowed up to 3 skill mods. The exception to this are the special loot weapons which have innate modsifiers to them such as Corsec items for instance. These types of weapons can have up to 4 total skill mods.

Weapon Mechanics Overview

Weapons are broken up into two main categories: melee weapons and ranged weapons. Melee weapons require you to be close to your enemy and ranged weapons will fire a projectile from a distance.
Melee weapons can be broken down into sub-categories. They are as follows:

Unarmed Combat - Fighting with no weapon equipped is considered melee combat. Brawling is the fastest melee style, but the lowest potential for damage output.

One-handed Sword - One-handed melee weapons are usually bladed and easy to swing. A one-handed weapon is a little slower than brawling, but the weapon will cause more damage than your fists.

Two-handed Sword - Similar to one-handed weapons, these are usually bladed but they are someone heaver. That makes them slower than their one-handed counterparts, but the extra weight allows more damage to be dealt.

Polearm - The largest of the melee weapons, these can be either bladed or blunt. These can sometimes be difficult to wield and as a result they are generally the slowest melee weapons to use. However, the sheer size of these weapons makes them the most dangerous to your enemies.



Ranged weapons are also broken down into sub-categories. They are as follows:


Pistol - These small weapons are easy to carry and even easier to conceal. Their small size yields a relatively low damage output, but they recharge quickly allowing for a rapid rate of fire. The effectiveness of a pistol drops off at long ranges; they are usually used only for short range combat.


Carbine - These are good mid-range weapons. Carbines have a little trouble hitting targets at very long or very short distances, so at these ranges you may want to aim carefully. The capabilities of a carbine weapon allow for moderate damage output along with a fairly decent recharge rate.

Rifle - Made to destroy enemies from afar, these weapons are most effective from long ranges. The sheer power behind a rifle makes it difficult to attack targets at a short range, but from a distance, a rifle has the highest damage potential of any ranged weapon. This does not come without a price however, as the power drain on a rifle makes for a long recharge time and a slow rate of fire.

Additionally, there is also a category of weapons known as munitions and heavy weapons. These generally include grenades and rocket launchers, and can only be used effectively by a few professions. The disadvantage to these types of weapons is that they are expendable, and can be used only a limited number of times.

Simply examine a weapon if you wish to check the damage output, attack speed, and range information.

Weapon Attributes

Weapon attributes are the modifiers and statistics found on a weapon. Weapons come from three sources: Crafting, Loot and as part of Quest rewards. Every type of weapon has a unique range of stats which can vary depending on the resources used in crafting or the luck of the player when the game randomly generates stats on a weapon that is given as loot.

The attributes are, divided into the following categories.


Variation Of:

This attribute spawns on any weapon that has had its base type name changed. For player crafted weapons this type change occurs when the player renames the weapon from the default given one. The name change can occur automatically as the player chooses a particular style for the item during the customization process or by manually renaming the item in the name field. After changing the name the weapon now indicates that it is a variation of the specific type that it originated as. For looted weapons, this attribute occurs only on weapons that have been given the exceptional or legendary tags.



For more information about the Variation Of attribute, see General Item Mechanics


Certified :

This attribute is present on all weapons and indicates whether the player has the necessary skill certification requirement to use the weapon by displaying a simple Yes or No. Players who are not certified to use a weapon will suffer a damage penalty when wielding the weapon.

Condition:

This attribute is present on all weapons and indicates the current hitpoints remaining on the weapon. The left figure represents the current hitpoints on the weapon and the right represents the total max possible hitpoints. A weapon will begin to lose damage potential if it falls below 25% of the max possible condition. If a weapon reaches 0 condition it will lose its damage. Items at 0 condition cannot be repaired.


Volumn:

Represents the current container contents of the Item.

For more information about volumn counts, see Inventory Mechanics



Uses Remaining

Attribute found only on consumables such as grenades or heavy weapons. This displays the amount of times the item can be used before it expires and is removed from the players inventory.
