Khai's Combat Numerics
CAVEATS: The value shown here only include items that are accessible in the early/mid game.
Firearms
NOTE: in most cases, the most effective ammunition is APDS (see HELP AMMUNITION in-game for details)
NOTE: APDS does not exist for assault cannons, making direct comparisons a bit more complicated, so they are not included here
NOTE: uses the stats of the best performing weapon variants for each weapon class
NOTE: defender has +1 TN penalty to dodge for every 3 rounds (round down)
NOTE: may require a gunsmithing workshop to replace an existing gas vent with an improved gas vent IV
Typical accessories (gas vent, underbarrel weight/foregrip, etc)
| weapon | mode | damage code | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| heavy pistol | BF | 12S | one handed (allows shield) |
| submachine gun | FA 6 | 13D | one handed (allows shield), this SMG variant has +1 integral recoil comp |
| assault rifle | FA 6 | 14D | this AR variant has +2 integral recoil comp, but no underbarrel slot |
| shotgun | BF | 13D | ideal for bayonets since the underbarrel slot isn't needed for recoil comp |
| sniper rifle | SA | 14D | -2 TN bonus when shooting into other rooms |
| heavy MG | FA 5 | 15D | requires 8 bod and 8 str |
With a cyberarm gyromount (compensates 3 points of recoil, but only for light MGs or smaller)
| weapon | mode | damage code | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| submachine gun | FA 8 | 16D | one handed (allows shield) |
| assault rifle | FA 9 | 17D | this AR variant has +2 integral recoil comp, but no underbarrel slot |
| light MG | FA 8 | 16D |
With a heavy gyromount or tripod (compensates 6 points of recoil)
NOTE: the heavy gyromount uses the “about the body” equipment slot
NOTE: tripod use requires the prone position (thus no dodge dice, penalty to target you with ranged, and bonus to target you with melee)
| weapon | mode | damage code | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| submachine gun | FA 10 | 17D | one handed (allows shield) |
| assault rifle | FA 10 | 19D | this AR variant has base damage code 9M |
| heavy MG | FA 10 | 20D |
Melee Weapons
(WIP)
Armor Layering
Here are some example setups following the rules for layering and sets (see HELP LAYERING and HELP ARMOUR SETS in-game for details)
NOTE: while layering penalties are calculated for B and I separately, the highest rated piece that doesn't get its armor halved is selected by comparing the B+I total (e.g., a 5/4 item and a 4/5 item will select one piece to not be halved, so the total ends up being 7/6 or 6/7, NOT 7/7)
NOTE: helmet, armguards, cyber/bioware, and/or magic IGNORE layering rules, so are NOT INCLUDED in the examples below (just add whatever you have directly on top of the pieces that do follow layering rules)
NOTE: form-fitting armor DOES count in B/I value layering, but DOES NOT count for determining penalties
NOTE: when a shield is equipped, only one-handed weapons can be used
NOTE: requires quickness 6 to avoid penalties
