There is a variety of '''equipment''' available in [[{{gamename}}]] | There is a variety of '''equipment''' available in [[{{gamename}}]], which are items that can be applied to an equipment slot for varying character effects. | ||

{{main|Armor}} | All entities have several slots relevant to key parts of them, such as '''Feet''', which can be used to equip relevant items from their inventory, such as {{favilink|croccasins}}. Technically speaking, slots contain both the equipped item and the body part it represents: suffering '''Left Arm''' [[dismember|dismemberment]] will cause the victim to drop '''[Name]'s Left Arm''', drop any items equipped in the '''Left Arm''' and '''Left Hand''' slots, will block using '''Left Missile Weapon''', and the only way to restore the lost slots is to find a way to reoccupy the '''[Name]'s Left Arm''' slot (e.g. by using a {{favilink|ubernostrum injector}}). | ||
==Clothing== | |||
{{main|Armor (AV)}} | |||
{{main|Dodge (DV)}} | |||
Clothing and [[shield|shields]] are tied to the '''AV''' {{AV}} and '''DV''' {{DV}} stats. AV is the amount of protection it provides against successful attacks and DV is how likely you are to dodge an attack. AV and DV scale inversely, as heavier armor and shields improve blocking at the cost of speed, whereas lighter armor absorbs less damage but makes dodging easier. Taking certain kinds of damage can degrade armor values: for example, being struck too many times by [[Cleave]] will cause equipped items to become [[cracked]], which causes a {{AV}} -1 penalty each time it is inflicted. | |||
Clothing occupies multiple slots on the body. On the average humanoid body they are: | |||
* Head | |||
* Face | |||
* Back | |||
* Body | |||
* Hands | |||
* Feet | |||

{{main|Weapons}} | {{main|Penetration (PV)}} | ||
Weapons and ammo are tied to the '''PV''' {{PV}} stat. Assuming a player has the [[Agility]] to hit their target, PV is a roll to determine how much damage is done against the recipient's AV (Armor). PV can be very complex and varies greatly among weapon types, but the general concept is that a successful deals more damage and repeat strikes become more likely as PV approaches and then passes DV. Weapons can suffer negative status effects similarly to worn equipment, as swimming through salt water with metal items equipped will cause them to become [[rusted]], which prevents using them as a weapon until they are repaired. | |||
PV stats are relevant for the following slots on an average humanoid body: | |||
* Left Arm | |||
* Left Hand | |||
* Right Arm | |||
* Right Hand | |||
* Left Missile Weapon | |||
* Right Missile Weapon | |||
* Thrown Weapon | |||
== Miscellaneous == | |||
Additional unique buffs and debuffs can be applied through drones equipped on the single non-body slot: | |||
* Floating Nearby | |||
