Question about weapons and materials.
« on: April 28, 2011, 05:00:51 am »
Which is the best way to make a weapon stronger than the others? Shall i create a new weapon or add a new material? I've tried to add a new material, but i don't know what to change to make the material harder.

You can do either, or both.  Compare some values in the material raws if you want to figure out a way to make a better weapon.  As far as I know, the values are not all completely understood, so it could take some guessing. 

Making a new weapon would probably be easier.  A I think higher penetration usually causes more gruesome injuries.

These should help:
