Thread: Request for clarification on damage types.

I'm curious on the state of damage types for our already existing rifles. Specifically, I've read that the spraystick was intended to be acid damage but it does not. Further, I've noted that the 'Tuskan King Rifle' you get in doing the Darklighter quests has kinetic damage associated with it, but the tuskan rifles which can be crafted inflict energy type damage. Are these two rifles intended to be of energy type damage?

I've also heard a rumor that the bowcaster (shooting explosive quarrels) is supposed to do blast damage as well...

BTW: Riflemen don't have the cert to use the Tuskan King Rifle, so don't get too excited.

T21 was originally blast damage, as I understand it. Currently, it does energy.


Spraystick is supposed to do acid. It currently does energy.


Can't speak to the tuskin king, but the normal tuskins are supposed to do kinetic, but do energy as well.


SG82 does cold, and I believe that is working.


Jawa does stun, and that is working.


Laser and E11 do energy, and that is working.


I am not familiar with the Bowcaster, but according to the way the bowcaster works in descriptions outside the game, I would expect it to do blast damage.

Jawa Ion Rifle = Stun = Composite Armor eater, because 99% of composite users dont get stun protection


SG82= Cold - Ubenes killer


All other do energy damage.

I assume the T21 is an intentinal change.
Should we then request the spraystick, tuskan rifle and bowcaster be fixed?
I would think changing damage types would be an extremely easy change to make.
Has this ever been brought to the DEVs attention before?
