Weapons

Weapons are a game mechanic of Atomicrops.

General Description

Weapons in Atomicrops feature multiple upgrades, and are used by player to defeat various Enemies. Weapons never break, however if no other gun is held the player will wield the default Pea Shooter. Two random Weapons are available for purchase in the Town every day, each with a bundle attached to them. Two Weapons, the Leech Gun and the Scythe, are tied to the Reap What You Crow DLC and only become avaliable once said DLC has been purchased.

Bundle System

Weapons besides the Pea Shooter are purchased in bundles. These bundles can offer between zero and five mods, zero and two Farming Stat or Fighting Stat, and/or zero to one Heart Beet seed for each Weapon in question. If the player is playing as , the Heart Beet seed will instead be a one-point, immediate value heal of Oregano. In addition, Weapons come in four rarities; basic, blue, purple, and orange, from least to most powerful respectively. Higher rarity Weapons will provide more in their bundles but will come at a higher price. The specifics any given bundle provides is shown directly under the given Weapon and their tooltip prior to purchase.

Bonus Gun Mod

Main article: Bonus Gun Mod

Weapons can also be granted a Bonus Gun Mod upon purchase. This is simply an additional mod that the player will gain for free. If a Bonus Gun Mod is granted, text displaying as such will appear. The chance to receive one is based upon the player's Bonus Gun Mod Stat. While playing as Rye, this is guaranteed due to his Mechanic perk. Only one Bonus Gun Mod can appear per Weapon, even if the player's Bonus Gun Mod Stat is above 100%. The Butcher's Knife and the Flying Squirrels each get a Bonus Mod guaranteed after a certain Home Improvement has been purchased. For these two guns, they will not be able to have more than one Bonus Gun Mod, just like any other Weapon.

Gun Mods

The entire list of all possible Gun Mods is shown below. Any Weapons that receive benefits from Home Improvements will have that listed. Repeated upgrades listed are to represent that those upgrades can potentially be obtained multiple times.

History

• Prior to Patch 1.5.0f1, Weapons used to be able to be upgraded through the Gun Forge. In addition, Weapons used to break each morning.
  • To counteract guns breaking, there was also a Gun Repair chance, which has since been retooled to Bonus Gun Mod.
