Armor penetration

Armor penetration is a vital element of Wasteland 2 combat. It determines how much damage is done to the target, if any.

How it works


There are two factors involved:


 * The target's armor rating.
 * The attacker's weapon penetration score.

If the weapon's penetration rating is above or equal to the target armor rating, the weapon deals 100% of the damage.

If the weapon penetration is below the target's armor rating, though, the damage is reduced.
