The penetration bonus is determined by mutation level and is independent of the {{PV}}PV used against non-structural objects, which is instead determined by the creature's [[Strength]] bonus. If the creature is wielding a weapon in a hand with {{favilink page|Data:Claw (Burrowing Claws)|plural}}, walls can still be broken within four successful attacks, but the {{PV}}PV of the weapon wielded will be used instead. | ||
Having this mutation grants the player the "Dig" activated ability; this ability is a form of autoact which allows the player to select a tile as a target destination, regardless of distance or visibility. Confirming one's selection will cause the player to move in a straight line to the destination, while automatically attacking and destroying any walls in the way. | |||

Damage is not determined by a formula and is instead determined by reaching specific level thresholds. | |||

===Disadvantages=== | ===Disadvantages=== | ||
* The mutations listed penetration bonus only applies to walls. Penetration against creatures is instead determined by your strength | |||
* Requires significant mutation levels in order to match the damage output of higher tier weapons | |||
* As they are a short-blade and are always equipped, both the left hand and right hand claws are eligible for [[Rejoinder]], and can heavily impact the players DPS with that skill if the claws are not leveled up | |||
===Considerations=== | |||
* Any [[Mutated Human]] can temporarily get mid-level {{name}} by using a {{favilink|skulk injector}} | |||
* Both Mutated Humans and [[True Kin]] may also get it by cooking with {{favilink|congealed skulk}} | |||
** Without a recipe (such as [[Bone Babka]]), this can take several tries | |||
* Digging with [[vibro weapons]] will quickly destroy any wall even at {{name}} level 1, and higher levels don't further improve this | |||
* For [[unarmed]] combat, {{favilink|waxflab}} on hands will do slightly more damage than level 10 {{name}}, although it uses a different skill | |||
