Weapons are your Mech's primary Offensive Gear. Choosing the right ones is key to dominating the battlefield! You can equip up to two Weapons on a Mech. Also, your Pilot can significantly boost their performance.
Weapons come with several crucial properties that impact their effectiveness:
- Type: Its fundamental category
- Energy Cost: Energy required to operate (Total Weapon Energy Cost must not exceed Mech's Energy Capacity)
- Perk: A unique, defining characteristic
- Power: An overall measure of combat effectiveness (Damage, Properties, Accuracy)
- Damage Per Magazine: Total Damage at ideal range before reloading
- Damage per Shot: Damage from a single shot at ideal range
- Fire Rate: Shots per minute (excludes reload)
- Optimal Range: Distance for max Damage per shot
- Max Range: Farthest distance Damage can be dealt
- Magazine: Shots before a reload
- Reload Speed: How fast the Weapon reloads.
- Accuracy: Shot closeness to crosshair center
- Damage Radius: Area of splash Damage around impact
