#

Not a melee weapon but i would really love to see the hardlight bow from goob, i have no idea how balanced it is but bow are cool and this bow is really cool

#

don't really play goob so i don't really remember how it work but you could select arrow time

iirc it shot through walls and did a heafty chunka damage

#

its also loud as shit

#

one guy tried assassinating me as QM using thermals in maints once with it and i dodged all his shots because i heard the bowstring thump

hardy dawn its not but rads aren't healable with a topical

Just spend 10 character trait points on self healing and out heal the rad

#

godo

hardy dawn Jan 23, 2026, 1:32 AM

#

you still need atleast 50% rad resist

#

merc gear tends to not give great rad resist

#

hardy dawn merc gear tends to not give great rad resist

I mean you heal it so fast it probably won't even do 10 damage before the fight ends

axium does 1 a sec, platelets heals .5

desert beacon Jan 23, 2026, 1:44 AM

#

hardy dawn axium does 1 a sec, platelets heals .5

So halfs the damage

#

That's like extra time time

#

And don't have it on all the time and you should be fine anyway

hardy dawn Jan 23, 2026, 1:45 AM

#

and if you don't have platelets, you're fucked

keen imp Jan 23, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

it was intended to be an IPC weapon you toggle periodically

#

like a more forgiving, but consistantly taxing phase blade

hardy dawn Jan 23, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

yeah back when ipcs were rad proof
