Weapon Technology in Solar Echoes (part 3)


Today, we'll feature another one of the possible augments that can be found on a firearm: Brutal. The Brutal Augment reduces the damage threshold on a weapon by 1. What this means is that certain effects, such as catching on fire, will happen more easily, as thresholds require a certain amount of damage be inflicted before the effects will trigger. So, if you have a fire-damage weapon that has a threshold of 3, you need to inflict 3 points of fire damage on your target in order for him to catch on fire. His armor might make that difficult by absorbing some of the damage, but if your weapon has the Brutal augment, you'll only need to inflict 2 points of fire damage to light him up.
