Weapons

Weapons are the staple of just about any roguelike: DoomRL is no different. They are absolutely necessary to make any substantial progress in the game (save a [[Game Settings#Challenges|certain exception]]) and will be what a player will base their entire game around. If you want to know how to play this game, you need to learn its weapons.

There are a number of statistical variables on weapons, but the most important ones are as follows:
* '''Damage''': This is how much the weapon will hurt a target with HP, written in [[dice notation]].
* '''[[Damage type]]''': This is how [[protection]] affects the weapon's damage. This is a hidden statistic, although it is often easily intuited what type of damage a weapon will deal (shotguns deal shrapnel damage, energy weapons deal plasma damage, etc).
* '''Attack/Fire rate''': This determines how much time it takes to use the weapon. Time spent using a weapon (and, for that matter, any action) is always rounded to the nearest game turn, or one tenth of a game second. Typically, a weapon takes one second to use.
* '''[[Accuracy]]''': This determines how likely you are to hit whatever you aim your weapon at. As a standard, a player with no modifiers to their accuracy has a 50% chance to hit their target from a point-blank range which will lower with an increased [[distance]] from the target.

DoomRL contains an impressive number of weapons. Aside from the standard weapons from Doom itself, there are a number of others that are either improved versions or markedly unique in design.

== Melee Weapons ==
Rip and tear! Rip and tear your GUTS!

=== Standard ===
* [[fists]]
* [[combat knife]]

=== Assembled ===

=== Special ===

* {{unique link|Dragonslayer}}
* {{artifact link|Azrael's Scythe}}
* {{artifact link|Longinus Spear}}

== Ranged Weapons ==
Unlike melee weapons, you can shoot stuff from further away with these weapons.

In addition to the stats mentioned above, ranged weapons also have the following:

* '''Reload time''': This is the time it takes to resupply the weapon with the ammo it uses. This is often a large number compared to the fire rate, and so should be taken into consideration as such from a tactical perspective.
* '''Clip size''': This is how much ammunition a weapon can contain at one time. Once all of the ammunition is depleted from the weapon, it must be reloaded.
* '''Shots''': This is how many shots the weapon can fire in a single action. If a weapon fires more than one shot per action, it will indicated in the damage value with a 'xZ', where Z is the number of shots (e.g., a chaingun's damage appears as '(1d6)x4'). Any weapon which shoots multiple shots has protection applied to each shot individually.
* '''Shot cost''': This is how much ammo a weapon uses per shot. This is very rarely anything larger than one.

=== Standard ===

Assemblies

2012-01-08T22:43:17Z

Slave: fixed nanomanufacture requirements

Added in 0.9.9.2, assemblies are the finished product of combining [[Weapons|standard]] or [[Specials|exotic]] 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, advanced and 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:

<nowiki>*</nowiki>: The order in which the mods are applied sometimes matters; in these cases the bonus from the last mod you applied is not added to the resulting assembly. This means, for example, that the high power weapon assembly can be made in two flavors, one with larger magazine (if you added the bulk mod first) and one with better damage (if you added the power mod first)
