Piercing

Piercing damage is one of the main damage types in Neocron.

Most weapons that rely on a physical bullet do piercing damage as their main damage type, including almost all low-tech weapons excepting flame throwers, grenade launchers and missile launchers.

It is also an exceptionally common mob damage type, especially on mutants (except those with explosive weapons such as the Launcher Cyclops and Butchee).

Piercing damage is resisted by piercing resistance, which is found on Bone Enforcements and most physical armor, as well as the Resist pierce Strength skill.

Because Piercing damage is so ubiquitous, it is a very important resist to have.

There is no ammo mod to increase piercing damage, in fact most special ammo types exist only to supplement the weapon's piercing damage with an additional type.
