Strategy:Pistol Types

2012-08-21T17:24:59Z

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Just intending to use pistol types to get you through the game but not built around them

*Fire the shotgun, score the kill with pistol
*Aimed shots
*Blowing up barrels
*Shooting around barrels

== Specific Builds ==
Mid to end game damage will be dealt primarily with pistol types; will have a modded/optimized pistol or pistols in these builds.

=== Bullet Dance ===
Dualgunner

=== Gun Kata ===
Dualgunner

=== Sharpshooter ===
Single gun only

=== Masterless ===
*BD blocks Hellrunner, Eagle Eye, and Brute
*GK blocks Tough as Nails, Son of a Bitch, and Brute
*Ss blocks Tough as Nails, Son of a Bitch, and Dualgunner.

A Masterless pistol build would revolve around using the traits that are normally blocked by the masters, namely EE for BD, SoB for GK and Dualgunner for Ss.

Ideally you would be a dualgunner with SoB and EE.

== '''About Pistols ''' ==
Pistols are single-target weapons, and on average possess the highest accuracy bonuses in the game (barring modification or specific assemblies). Despite having a relatively low damage, pistols have a fairly decent clip size which permits multiple shots before reloading. To offset their low damage, there are many, many [[Traits]] that apply towards [[pistols]] and affect their damage, firing speeds and reload times. In early levels of the game, the [[pistol]] will be encountered on nearly every floor.

Pistols are required in the Marksman [[badges|badge series]], which only allows you to use pistol-type weapons (though it includes [[Weapons#Pistol|assembled]] and [[Weapons#Special Pistol|special]] variants) and [[fists]].

Assemblies

2012-08-20T19:56:51Z

Reef Blastbody:

Assemblies are the finished product of combining standard [[Weapons]]/[[Armor]] or [[Specials|Special]] equipment with a particular set of [[Items#Modification Packs|mod packs]]. Some assemblies can only be made with a particular piece of equipment, while others can take a variety of different weapons, armors, or boots. There are three types of assemblies: [[#basic|Basic]], [[#advanced|Advanced]] and [[#master|Master]].

You may choose not to assemble when prompted. If you do so, you will instead have a normal modified piece of equipment that can be modified further (if your [[Traits#Whizkid|Whizkid]] level allows it). The latter is particularly useful to remember if you're trying to figure out basic assembly combinations or when trying to assemble a higher rank assembly the recipe for which partially matches a lower rank assembly recipe (for example, the power armor and the nanofiber skin armor).

Assemblies can also be modded in limited circumstances. If the player has the second level of Whizkid before the assembly is finished, they may then add a single mod to that assembled item.

The schematics are listed in the order in which they appear on the in-game assembly screen, listing their name, base equipment and the required mods.

Mod types in the tables below are:
{| class="wikitable" cellpadding="2"

== '''About Pistols ''' ==
Pistols are single-target weapons, and on average possess the highest accuracy bonuses in the game (barring modification or specific assemblies). Despite having a relatively low damage, pistols have a fairly decent clip size which permits multiple shots before reloading. To offset their low damage, there are many, many [[Traits]] that apply towards [[pistols]] and affect their damage, firing speeds and reload times. In early levels of the game, the [[pistol]] will be encountered on nearly every floor.

Pistols are required in the Marksman [[badges|badge series]], which only allows you to use pistol-type weapons (though it includes [[Weapons#Pistol|assembled]] and [[Weapons#Special Pistol|special]] variants) and [[fists]].

Assemblies

2012-08-20T19:44:55Z

Reef Blastbody: /* Advanced */

Assemblies are the finished product of combining standard [[Weapons]]/[[Armor]] or [[Specials|Special]] equipment with a particular set of [[Items#Modification Packs|mod packs]]. Some assemblies can only be made with a particular piece of equipment, while others can take a variety of different weapons, armors, or boots. There are three types of assemblies: [[#basic|Basic]], [[#advanced|Advanced]] and [[#master|Master]].

You may choose not to assemble when prompted. If you do so, you will instead have a normal modified piece of equipment that can be modified further (if your [[Traits#Whizkid|Whizkid]] level allows it). The latter is particularly useful to remember if you're trying to figure out basic assembly combinations or when trying to assemble a higher rank assembly the recipe for which partially matches a lower rank assembly recipe (for example, the power armor and the nanofiber skin armor).

Assemblies can also be modded in limited circumstances. If the player has the second level of Whizkid before the assembly is finished, they may then add a single mod to that assembled item.

The schematics are listed in the order in which they appear on the in-game assembly screen, listing their name, base equipment and the required mods.

Mod types in the tables below are:

Shotguns never miss any target in their affected area, and they always do at least one damage to each target. The size of the shotgun blast varies from weapon to weapon. It is governed by two parameters: range and spread. The range of a shotgun determines how far the blast extends from the attacker, and the spread determines the half-width of the blast when it reaches it's furthest point.

Shotgun damage also diminishes over distance. Each shotgun has a reduction rating that determines what percentage of damage is taken off per tile of [[distance]]. This penalty is applied linearly, and it is applied even at point-blank range. Rounding is to the nearest integer (0.5 rounds to even).

DoomRL uses shotguns with four different Area of Effect types:

=== '''Area of Effect Details''' ===
{{Technical}}
To calculate a shotgun's area of effect, first a target square is calculated by extrapolating from the vector pointing at the manually targeted square. The true target will be a tile that is at the shotgun's maximum range with an approximately parallel vector. Then, for each tile in a (2 × spread + 1) side-length square around the target, the game traces out the path of a missile until it hits a wall. (Shotgun blasts go through enemies.) The missile paths are truncated if the distance along one of the axes becomes greater than the shotgun's range. For each tile that was traced out in at least one of the missile paths, damage is applied.

Pistols are single-target weapons, and on average possess the highest accuracy bonuses in the game (barring modification or specific assemblies). Despite having a relatively low damage, pistols have a fairly decent clip size which permits multiple shots before reloading. To offset their low damage, there are many, many [[Traits]] that apply towards [[pistols]] and affect their damage, firing speeds and reload times. In early levels of the game, the [[pistol]] will be encountered on nearly every floor.

Pistols are required in the Marksman [[badges|badge series]], which only allows you to use pistol-type weapons (though it includes [[Weapons#Pistol|assembled]] and [[Weapons#Special Pistol|special]] variants) and [[fists]].

Strategy:Pistol

Reef Blastbody: Recalibrations

''This article is about strategy for the [[pistol]] itself as a [[weapons|weapon]], not the category of [[weapons]] colloquially known as [[Pistol_Types|"pistols"]]. For specific strategies for the individual [[weapons]], please see the associated entries under their [[Pistol_Types|names]]. For [[Pistol_Types|"pistols"]] in general, please see [[Strategy:Pistol_Types|Strategy:Pistol Types]].''

{{infostrat switch}}
== '''Overview''' ==
=== '''Brief Summary''' ===
The Pistol is (usually) your starting weapon and, thus, many people assume that it should be discarded for something "better" when it comes along. However, the Pistol (or two Pistols) is not only feasible as a weapon, but quite capable of being used as the ONLY weapon during a game.

It is a basic weapon, which can hold up to 5 mods if the player has access to Whizkid 2.

As a member of the Pistol Type family, the Pistol is a standard weapon that is also capable of being turned into several [[assemblies]] : the [[speedloader pistol]], the [[high power pistol]], the [[storm bolter pistol]], the [[energy pistol]], the [[nanomanufacture pistol]], and the [[demolition pistol]]. This page will only address the base [[Pistol]] and the [[Pistol]] with mods applied that do not change it into a separate assembly.

== '''Examination''' ==

At first the weapon may not seem like much: 2d4 damage, only six shots in a clip. However, the raw damage-per-second (DPS) drastically increases as you add points into pistol-based traits. Consider the following:

*'''No traits''': 5DPS
*'''SoG(x1)''': 7.5DPS
*'''SoG(x2)''': 11.67DPS
*'''SoG(x2)+DG''': 19.44DPS
*'''SoG(x3)''': 20DPS
*'''SoG(x3)+DG''': 33.33DPS

Over the course of just four levels (achieveable just after Hell's Arena on Ultra-violence) the damage output has increased over six-fold. If we compare to a chaingun with SoBx2 and Finx2 (similar trait boosts) the DPS is only 31.43DPS; while the plasma rifle is obviously superior at 51.43DPS, it also requires nearly twice as much ammo for an ammo type much harder to carry (and often rarer to boot). As a starter weapon, the pistol is certainly a powerful choice.

Pistols are also fairly unique as being a single-target, non-explosive weapon that has a high potential for [[knockback]]. Combined with very fast firing speed, it is possible to keep an enemy out of your [[vision|field of vision]] by knocking them back every time they come into it. In order to build toward pistols that reliably knockback, consider investing in [[Son of a Bitch]] and adding power mods to your pistols. Although (knockbacking is frequently done with shotgun-type weapons, it also requires you to be closer and so the possibility of knocking them out of vision on each hit is significantly lower than with the pistol.)

=== '''Advantages to using the Pistol''' ===
* Free gun! (In all but very specific challenges, you will start with a Pistol)
* Easy to find and stockpile ammo
* Accurate without modding
* Fast reload time
*
*

=== '''Disadvantages to using the Pistol''' ===
* Extremely build-dependant
* Bullet type damage is commonly resisted
*
*
*
