Damage

List of damage types along with their properties

Direct damage can generate core charge ¹⁾

• Normal/Balistic/Melee/Body impact/Other: Most common type of damage, the default one
• Overkill: Bypasses defense, enemies get dismembered on death

Dealt to both defense and vitals at the same time, the damage does not overflow to vitals when defense is insufficient

• Explosive - Direct: Sticky explosives deal 50% more damage to the target they are stuck to:
  • Eg. 50 explosive = 50 vitals and 50 defense
• Shock - Indirect ²⁾ / Direct³⁾: Vitals take 50% reduced damage while defense active⁴⁾, bypasses all damage resistances, prevents any form of “cheating death” from activating
  • Eg. 50 shock damage = 25 vitals and 50 defense

Not affected by direct damage resistances, only resistances specific to that type

• Bleed: Bypasses defense, Causes/Caused by Bleed
• Burn: 100% of damage reduces max vitals and defense, Causes/Caused by Burn
• Chemical: Affects only defense, 100% of damage reduces max defense, Applies 2s corrode
• Enviromental: Fall damage and Enviromental impact damage⁵⁾, bypasses defense
• Vital: Bypasses defense, prevents any form of “cheating death” from activating
  • Telefrag: Bypasses defense, prevents any form of “cheating death” from activating, can't be resisted, enemies get dismembered on death
