* '''X''' is the strength-modified PV of a melee weapon. This value changes if your strength changes.<br>(4 + [[modifier|strength modifier]] for one-handed weapons, or 5 + strength modifier for two-handed weapons).
* '''Y''' is the maximum achievable PV for this melee weapon. PV will be capped at this value regardless of your strength modifier. This maximum achievable PV shows up in game only if you've turned on the "Display detailed weapon penetration and damage in name" [[option]].
* '''≈''' represents [[vibro]] penetration, which automatically sets penetration equal to the target's [[AV]] value.

* '''X''' is the strength-modified PV of a melee weapon<br>(4 + [[modifier|strength modifier]] for one-handed weapons, or 5 + strength modifier for two-handed weapons).
Note that the descriptions above apply only to the value that is displayed in the game UI. For the purposes of actual PV calculations, as described in the sections below, the game subtracts 4 from the values that are shown in the UI. So, for example, the fullerite maul pictured above has a penetration value of 2 for the purposes of all in-game calculations. ([[:Category:Vibro_Weapons|vibro weapons]] are an exception to this rule.)
** For missile weapons, '''X''' is the weapon's intrinsic penetration value - missile weapon PV cannot be modified by strength or other attributes.
** For thrown weapons, '''X''' is the throwing PV cap for the weapon (it acts similarly to how '''Y''' below acts for melee weapons)
* '''Y''' is the maximum achievable PV for this melee weapon. PV is capped at this value regardless of your strength modifier.
** The maximum achievable PV shows up in game only if you've turned on the "Display detailed weapon penetration and damage in name" [[option]].
** Missile weapons do not show a maximum PV in game and their PV cannot be modified by attributes.
* '''≈''' represents [[vibro]] penetration, which automatically sets penetration equal to the target's [[AV]] value.
