Weapon Tags

Every weapon has a number of descriptive tags associated with it. Here these tags are categorized into damage type, weapon family, weapon type and firing type. Weapons can have any number of tags in a category. Some weapons can have their tags changed mid-dive by applying special Overclocks to them.

Damage type

[KINETIC] – basic non-elemental damage
[FIRE] – inflicts Burn
[ELECTRIC] – inflicts Shock
[COLD] – inflicts Slow
[ACID] – inflicts Corrode
[PLASMA] – projectiles bounce off walls and bugs

Weapon family

Weapon type

[PROJECTILE] – typically a weapon that fires bullets
[EXPLOSIVE] –
[DRONE] – constructs that fly around and attack hostiles
[TURRET] – constructs that are (typically) immobile

Firing type

[PRECISE] – damage is cast along a predictable line
[SPRAY] – damage is cast into a cone
[AREA] –
[BEAM] – damage is cast along a line or cone
[LASTING] – weapon has some effect that remains in the world for a duration, like a construct or a damage puddle

Explanation of Stats

Clip size: How many projectiles a weapon can fire before needing to be reloaded
Damage: Damage inflicted per projectile^{[What precisely is this for beam weapons?]}
Fire rate: Projectiles fired per second, and how fast a clip is emptied
Piercing: How much "HP" a projectile has; passing through enemies removes HP, and passing through elites and bosses removes extra HP
Potency: Amount of status effect stacks applied by [FIRE] [ELECTRICAL] [COLD] and [ACID] weapons
Reload time: Downtime after a clip is emptied before it can be fired again; affects speed of deploying [CONSTRUCT] weapons
Charges: For [CONSTRUCT] weapons, how many drones/turrets/etc. the dwarf can keep in their pocket at a time; when the player stands still, charges are deployed one after another; the last charge is auto-deployed if charges would over-fill
Lifetime: How long [LASTING] weapons remain active; for [BEAM] weapons, it's how long it takes to empty a tank
Beams: Number of beams for [BEAM] weapons
Weapon range: Distance covered by [BEAM] weapons
Explosion radius: Maximum radius covered by [EXPLOSIVE] weapons

When a stat has improvements or modifications, they follow the formula Stat = ((Base * Skill) + Flat) * Meta * Overclock * Artifact, where Base is a weapon's base stat, Skill are additives from Tag Mastery upgrades, Flat are additives from other Mid-dive Upgrades, Meta are multipliers from Meta Upgrades + the Class Mod + Masteries, and Overclock and Artifact are multipliers from Overclocks and Artifacts. These values can be viewed for equipped weapons from the pause screen during a dive.

The player is given a choice of upgrades to their stats every time they level up during a dive, as well as from the store where nitra can be spent on gun-specific improvements.

Class Defaults

Each class has default access to a set of 10 or 11 total weapons, unlocking them as the player levels up in that class. Once unlocked they can always be found during dives while playing that class.
