Force

Overview

Force is one of the 6 primary damage types within Neocron, mostly associated with explosives and melee weapons.

PvE considerations

Mob Force damage is somewhat rare, but when it happens, it's usually high damage AOE explosion.

PvP considerations

Force damage weapons are usually AoE, unsuited for fast-paced pvp duels. It's also easier to cap due to bone implants and all types of armor having some force resist. This damage type is a domain of lowtech weapons, but some hightech weaponry can be modded for it.

Weapon modding

Most of lowtech weaponry has access to 'explosive' ammo that will deal Force damage, but some hightech weapons like Fusion family can be modded for it too.
