<div class="IPBDescription">And what do the damage types mean?</div>So, I'm aware certain weapons have certain damage types. What I want to know is:

A) What are all the damage types? What do they mean? (how they treat armor and HP)

B) What weapons do what damage type?

This post is about marine weapons, but if the kharaa also have damage types I would like to know that as well.

C) Bonus points if you can explain the armor/HP system.

The goal of this post is to end my confusion. If it succeeds I will re-post a nice clean list of information and keep it up to date with the changes each build brings.

Thanks

    C: also interessted in this

    Btw the wiki is uotdated, anybody may update it a bit? Or can we also do that? Or was the SG always normal DMG? That would mean heavy DMG ain't in the game anymore.

    Thanks Floodinator. Planning a suggestion to encourage marine squad play. Will be based on damage types.

    This doesn't seem to be true at all anymore... I wonder if the devs plan to make this statement true again or neglect it altogether.

    The wiki is open for anyone to add or correct things. If you see something wrong on there, by all means change it! UWE doesn't keep the wiki up to date...they rely on the community to do that.
