Changes: Weapons

Revision as of 02:37, 24 September 2019

Chainsaw — Lovely items such as this chainsaw may be found throughout the city. Such things are available through the five-fingered discount.

“ For the time when humanity's existence becomes ... "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." ”

- Thomas Hobbes

Weapons are items that can harm and kill people. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of things you can kill with or be killed by. Weapons range from assault rifles to slings, from chainsaws to chunks of driftwood. They are essential for combat and can be found everywhere throughout the city by searching in specific locations or/and by killing certain NPCs. A few weapons instead require to be crafted and few others can only be found around at certain times of the day, week or/and year.

NOTE:

Accuracy is automatically lowered by 5% if the lights are off. Stats below assume lights are on.

Every attack has the chance of missing its target even if the weapon accuracy is close or equal to 100%.

Zombies and Vampires cannot use Firearms, Power Tools and set up Traps.

Melee Weapons

Weapons used in close combat. They can either be Bladed or Blunt. None of them makes any noise.

Bladed Weapons

Sharp and deadly. They can be anything from a fire axe to a broken bottle.

Ranged Weapons

Weapons used in far combat. Both Firearms and Throwing Weapons belong to this ccategory.

Firearms

Firearms are powerful against the dead. There are two types of Firearms: Small Arms and Rifles. The only difference between them are the skills that affect their hit ratio. They need ammunition to be used (see below). While powerful, all of them tend to be pretty noisy (with the exception of the Suppressed Pistol, that doesn't make any noise), which isn't very good, as it can easily attract the attentions of nearby players and potentially lead to be tracked down and killed (for more info, see Stealth and Detection).

While few of them cannot be exactly defined as actual "firearms", they are still technically classified as such. Unlike traditional firearms though, they don't make any noise.

Weapon	Description	Type	Damage	To Hit (Max)	Max Stack	Amount of Ammo Held	Ammo Used	Found at/Dropped by
Assault Rifle	Good for assaulting others	Rifle	4-10	20% (50%)	1	15	Rifle Clip	Fort Armory, Gun Stores, Crafting (Factories)

Love Bow	Make love, not war	Rifle	2-5 Infatuated	30%(60%)	1	1	Arrow	Cherub
Pistol	Hold it gangsta style	Small Arm	4-7	30% (60%)	1	6	Pistol Clip	Fort Armory, Gun Stores, Malls, Police Departments, Prison Guard Stations Stadium Guard Center, Crafting (Factories)

T-Shirt Cannon	When you don't want to use a gun, but need a cannon	Rifle	3-6	8% (38%)	1	1	Any T-Shirt	Serling Salmon
Taser	Shocker	Small Arm	0 Dazed (100%)	25% (55%)	1	10	Battery	Electronic Stores, Fort Armory, Gun Stores

Throwing Weapons

Weapons or objects to throw at enemies. Pay attention to the supplies, because they tend to run out very quickly, as those weapons are consumed when used whether the attack is successful or not. Explosive throwing weapons like Grenades tend to be pretty noisy, and as explained in the Firearms section, that's a bit of a risky handicap (for more info, see Stealth and Detection).

Hit rates on non-barricade objects depend on the player's HPs. From 0% HPs to 50% HPs is granted 1/4 of the maximum hit rate. From 50% HPs to 75% HPs is granted 2/4 of the maximum hit rate. From 75% HPs to 100% HPs is granted 3/4 of the maximum hit rate. At 100% HPs is granted the maximum hit rate.

Power Tools

Used for home renovations and massacres. The hit ratio of power tools can be increased with the Power Tool Expertise skill. They require ammunition (see below). While most of them are melee, a couple of them are ranged. And while powerful, most of them tend to be pretty noisy, which as already explained in the previous paragraphs, isn't a positive trait (for more info, see Stealth and Detection).

Unique Weapons

These weapons don't exactly belong to any category due to their unique nature, even though their "Damage" and "To Hit" scales are still determined by the weapon type that they are technically classified as.

Weapon	Description	Weapon Type	Damage	To Hit (Max)	Max Stack	Found at/Dropped by	Notes
Brass Knuckles	ONE PUNCH!!	Hand-to-Hand	(4-6)	20% (40%)	1	Bars, Clubs	In order to be used, they must be worn by the player. They replace the "Fists", the main basic Human attack. As such, they can only be used by Humans.
Dirty Syringe	It's operation time!	Bladed Weapon	1-2 Infected	5% (35%)	1?	Grim Surgeon	Needs to be reloaded with Slime after 4 uses.
Fire Extinguisher	Child friendly rockets	Firearm	0 Chilled (100%)	70% (100%)	4	Banks, Buildings, Factories, Fire Departments, Fort Barracks, Gas Stations, Hotels, Warehouses	Runs out after a random number of uses.

Clips, shells, gas cans, and other types of ammunitions used in firearms, power tools, and a few other ranged weapons.

Traps

Traps can only be set up inside a building, one for each (or for each building tile if it's a multi-tile building). Setting up a trap costs 2 APs. The trap will usually trigger when another player or even the same player will enter the building or carry out some building-related action (closing/opening the door, turning on/off the brakes, searching, etc.).

There's a slim chance that the trap, when triggered, will go dud. If that occurs, it won't inflict any damage or make any sound.

There's also a slim chance of automatically disarming the trap when triggered, and if that occurs, the trap will be acquired by the player, who then will be able to set it up again. (only observed with the Bear Trap, odds of disarming are unknown).

Finally, it's worthy of note that more than 1 Sticky Bomb can be set up in the same building. (Bug)

Weapon	Description	Damage	Max Stack	Found at/Dropped by
Bear Trap	Made to hunt bears, used to hunt humans	3-4 (Bleeding)	3	Camp Cabins (Outside)

Sticky Bomb	It's jelly	0-4 (Stuck)	?	Crafting
Explosive Package	Here's a special package for you!	5-10 (Dazed)	1	Crafting

Joke Weapons

These weapons can't deal any damage and are often accompanied by an humorous event line. They are simply used for the sole purpose of bothering, annoying and pranking other players. As such, their Hit Chance tends to be pretty high.

If used on NPCs, they will turn hostile (if previously friendly to the player) and will have a chance of counterattacking at each attack, just like if they were being attacked with an actual weapon. As such, these weapons can also be especially useful if the player is currently trying to get killed by an NPC to be resurrected or turned into a Vampire or a Zombie without risking to kill the NPC itself in the process.

Warning: if used on a player who was previously hidden, just like for actual weapons, this will permanently unhide them even if the attacking player logs out, until the attacked player will log back in and hide again. As such, it's highly suggested not to do this to friendly or allied players, unless it's done with the intent of trolling, as it can be very risky and dangerous.
