The Stellar Armory · Chapter 8
Gravitic Weapons
Weapons that apply force directly, with no projectile and no beam. Their damage type is Gravitic.
They are rare everywhere. The damage is no higher than a kinetic weapon's. What they buy is that almost nothing deflects them, and that they knock targets down and move them.
| Stopped by | The Gravitic Deflector, and nothing else in this book |
| Goes through | Every other armour's Deflecting |
| Weakness | Price, Availability, and rate of fire |
Armour still applies its Resistance against a gravitic hit. Only Deflecting is bypassed.
Skill: Light Ranged for the pistol, Heavy Ranged for the Repulsor and Lance, Gunnery for the Shear Projector.
