Vibro weapon are a class of weapons with special adaptive penetration (PV) mechanics.

While most weapons have a specific penetration value that does not change, such as 6, vibro weapons adapt to the armor of the enemy, and a vibro weapon's penetration value is always equal to the opponent's armor value (AV). For example, if you attack a snapjaw brute with AV ♦1, the vibro weapon's effective PV is 1. On the other hand, if you attack a leering stalker with AV ♦25 with the same weapon, the weapon's effective PV is 25. As a result, vibro weapons can be extremely effective against powerful late-game enemies, especially for characters who have low strength.

A vibro weapon's adaptive PV is represented with a wavy equals sign in game: ( ≈ )
