Weapon Lore

Weapon Lore (WEP)

Weapon Lore is an Intelligence subskill that indicates the runner's proficiency with all kinds of melee weaponry and firearms. Has major to minor influence on all stats of all weapons in the game except Hacknet software, Drones and PSI modules. Lowtech weaponry relies on WEP much more than hightech.
