Weapons

Weapons are a type of item in Dredgers.

About
Dredgers includes melee weapons, ranged weapons, wands, and staves. Each weapon has a base damage which may then be multiplied by any number of item modifiers. For example, the Excellently Crafted modifier applies a 1.5x bonus to attack damage and a 0.75x bonus to attack speed.

Critical Hits
Certain perks give weapons a chance to critically hit, or "crit," the target by awarding crit rolls. A successful crit roll adds bonus flat damage to the attack. For example, an Archer with Bow Mastery gains 1 crit roll per 5 DEX, with each successful roll awarding 10 bonus damage.

Melee Weapons
Each type of melee weapon inherits its base damage from particular character stats.

Two-handed versions of melee weapons deal 4x the damage of their one-handed counterparts with the axe and hammer having increased knockback. "Hyper" two-handed weapons deal 2x damage.

Ranged Weapons
Bows are currently the de facto ranged weapon type in Dredgers. Bows deal more damage the slower they shoot, and certain types inherit special properties.
