Game Mechanics

• Sliced weapons get approx. a 5-35% permanent increase in damage(min AND max)OR a 5-35% faster weapon when successfully sliced.
• The more skilled the Slicer, the better return you'll see. (See the average results below) The weapon is still able to be used with power-ups and repairable as normal.
• A sliced weapon will decay faster, but not horribly faster.
• If you slice a weapon with a powerup attached, the powerup is automatically removed (and destroyed) before the slice is performed.
• If you slice an insured item, it will need re-insuring.

                               A walk-through on weapon slicing:(w/Clamps)

1. You will need:

• The weapon
• A laser knife with at least 2 charges
• A Weapon Upgrade Kit (WUK)
• A Molecular Clamp
• A lag and distraction free moment.

2. Open your inventory

3. Click and hold (or right click) the weapon to be sliced, to open the radial menu.

4. Hesitate for a moment, the slice option should appear at the bottom of the menu after 1-2 sec.

5. Click Slice, a slicing dialog will open.

6. Click on "Shunt the power with a molecular clamp." message, ensure it is highlighted and hit enter.

7. READ the dialog box in the slicing window. It will tell you what color the Molecular Clamp lights up.

8. Click on the selection to cut the color wire that the clamp has directed you too. Ensure it is highlighted and hit enter.

9. Click on the remaining wire, ensure it is highlighted and hit enter.

10. The slicing results will now scroll across your screen, and in your system message window.

Same for armor, just substitute a AUK for the WUK. Containers of course require no upgrade kit but are done the same as well.
