Reloading Mechanism

Arquebus ( Late Medieval )

  1. Add Gunpowder

    Either from barrel full of Gunpowder or Gunpowder pouch.

  2. Add Projectiles

    Musket balls; Can be made from any materials.

  3. Cock the flintlock/musket and Fire

    Press Z to cock the musket.

Chad Tip: Always keep a gunpowder pouch by yourside at all times, it can also fit into your ‘Pouch’ slot much like wallet and coin pouch then the musket balls into your pockets for easy picking. You should also never rely on Flintlocks, they are only one time shot, so make sure to actually pointblank your enemy before engaging in swordfight.

Muskets/Flintlocks ( Early Gunpowder Age )

They are like Arquebus but sometimes you have this already made musket ammo then the process should be like:

  1. Insert Musket ammo
  2. Cock the musket and Fire

Chad Tip: Webbings are good way to hoard all the musket ammo but always keep 4-6 ammo in your webbing rather than hoarding it, this is to prevent your team losing ammo too early in combat or late-joiners to fight with fist or scavenging dead bodies. You can also add bayonet in your musket so you could engage in melee combat.

Lever-Action/Cowboy Revolvers ( The Frontier Age )

  1. Find the appropriate bullet for the gun

    Examine to see what caliber your gun uses,

  2. Open the pouch

    Right-click the Pouch then click toggle drawing method

  3. Start filling it with bullet and chamber it then shoot.

    Press Z to Chamber the round

Chad tip: Once you fired all your ammo and you find yourself unable to reload your gun, don’t forget to remove the bullet casings out of your gun since bullet casings don’t automatically eject out of the gun. Depends on the gun.

WW1/WW2/Modern Guns ( The Unga Wars )

  1. Insert magazine and gun go brrrrrt.

Chad tip: Give @HumbleServant#8462 a headpat to the head if you approciate his effort for this guide.

Other things you should know:

  1. The Shotgun ammo box and the (Insert Caliber Here) pouch MUST turn their toggle drawing methods after picking it up otherwise it will only allow you to pick it up from the ground but not what inside.

  2. Rifle Magazines and Rifle clip can be refilled by combining them together or standing on top of ammo piles and pressing C. This also works on both Ammo Box and Rifle Bullet Pouch. (This tip only works if both bullet is same caliber otherwise, it won’t so don’t bother.)

  3. You can recycle used bullet casings by adding gunpowder to it and adding projectiles made of Leads.

  4. Bigger caliber doesn’t mean bigger damage. “Damage” is non-existent and a false idol “Professional” SS13 believes in, at the end of the day, you’ll often find yourself being killed by stray bullet, by accurate artillery fire and lastly by 9mm bullet.


Extra: Gunpowder Recipe

  • Sulphur (Extracted from Sulphur Rocks)
  • Saltpeter (Extracted from Saltpeter Rocks)
  • Coal (Extracted from Coal)

    Use extraction kit to have extra +2 regeants then fill the barrel. This should be done in this exact order otherwise you get cyanide.

Alternatively, this is the UNGA way.

  • Saltpeter (Shit and Piss into the barrel)
  • Sulphur (Sulphur rock shoved into the barrel)
  • Charcoal (Slapped into the barrel)

    Wait for explosion. If none, add them to bullet casings and enjoy.


Weapon types and how to use them.

Pistols

Advantages - Short-range, Guaranteed to hit Op-Fors pointblank-6 blocks, Self-defence weaponry, Low-Damage but able to kill in one shot if used correctly, Only requires 1.0 skill in firearms to actually use it properly. Even a kid can use this.
Disadvantages - Short-range, Limited ammo, Only good shooting yourself or executing an unga.

Chad tip: Virgin Medic is when you drop your pistol to grab M4/M16 , Chad Medic is when you actually settle for pistol and shoot VietCongs running toward your Foxhole Clinic.

Submachine Gun

Advantages - Short-range, Bullet spread is minimal, Good for CQB (Close Quarter Battle), Good for clearing alleyways or clearing a room.
Disadvantages - Short-ranged, Bullet spread is abit messy when full-auto, Really bad at open-field battle.

Chad tip - This gun is never really meant for open-field battle, think of it as automatic pistol with extended magazine and also, always aim for the groin and chest. Your hit percentage will decrease if you aim for the head.

Semi-Auto/Automatic Rifles

Advantages - Medium-range, Good for both close quarter and open-field firefight, Semi-Auto firemode for long range engagement, FULL AUTO IN THE BUILDINGS!!
Disadvantages - Medium-ranged, Bullet Spread is at Maximum when put in full-auto much like in real life, It takes 2.7 Skill in Firearm to become God, If you put it in full-auto expect your accuracy/hit percentage to decrease to almost zero.

Chad Tip - Semi-Automatics have higher chance to hit the target other than full auto. Full auto are not useless feature, it is use to suppress people in their spot or fire blindly to wherever the bullets coming from.

Bolt-Action Rifles:

Advantages - ACTUAL GOD, Close Range? Long Range? Fuck that, this gun works in all range. You can blast someone’s head even though they are in sandbags or in Foxholes. You are a SNIPER, try not to engage in close combat and actually fight where no one could see you or you know, be a chad and kill them close-range with pointblank.
Disadvantages - GOD. There’s no Disadv on this gun other than you’re fucked if you’re out of ammo.

Chad Tip - Do a 360 spin killshot and send it to Taislin to be featured in Announcement. - HumbleServant

The Chad Machine Gun

Advantages - Gun go brrrrrt, 300 ammo orgasm, No one can close their position to your foxhole or your defensive line, haha yes dieeee brrrrrt. On a serious note, this is a gun good for holding a line and keeping people suppressed or keeping them from moving one inch in their spot otherwise they’ll get hit. The bullet spread is at maximum but that’s actually intended. Firing blindly or to enemy general direction and its chances to hit someone is never zero, If they are not entrenched they have a chance to get shot by a stray bullet.
Disadvantages - People who uses it. Literally, Unga’s finest choice thinking they are rambo or protagonist. Gives people “Power Complex”. Cursed.

Chad tip - Literally the chad and tide-turner of the game if used properly, keep a pistol with you at all times so you can blast someone’s head if they manage to get near to your foxholes.

Other things you should know about:

  1. Entrenched only lower your chances of getting struck by oncoming bullets and it that doesn’t mean you’re invincible. Even combined with “Rest” to act like crawling does not count as lowering your chance. Only sandbags does.

  2. RNGesus is your enemy, prepare for the unexpected. Staying in one spot is certain death, getting shot at is also certain death. Proned or not, it is always death if you stay at one spot and let enemies shoot you.

  3. Going Rambo never works, running up to them while firing your machine gun will stop you from moving which makes you more vulnerable than other people who’s entrenched.

  4. If they are at your line of sight and so are you. If you try to shoot them, there’s only 25-45% your bullets will hit them from their entrenched combined with sandbag possition.

  5. All guns are capable of penetrating a wall, higher caliber means higher penetration. So make sure to shoot through walls to get a chance of killing someone. Especially people hiding in the corner.

Grenades and What to do with them:

Shrapnel Grenades 360 Shrapnel Coverage with a radius of 5-10 blocks. Make sure to duck or rest when a grenade is lobbed close to your possition to avoid shrapnels or atleast lower your chance getting caught by it.
High Explosives/Anti-Tank Blast radius estimation is 3-7 blocks. This grenade can cause PTSD if it caught someone and gib them, also works to disable tanks so try to hit them on their side since attacking at the front is a suicide charge.
Chemical Grenade Blast radius estimation is 10x10. The bane of Unga, it's hard to treat chemical damage since it mostly affect their organs mainly their heart and their lungs and this is why both Germans and Russians have gas mask. Don't use this on open-field, this is much more effective when used inside a building or trench lines.
Smoke Grenades Full screen coverage, Coverage estimation is about 5-8 blocks. Smoke grenades are useful mainly for medics and people with actual brain of a Chad, smokes prevents snipers shooting people inside it and it also blocks their view and unable to shoot directly to people covered in smoke.

How to use artillery

This is the artillery menu. From the top to the bottom:

  1. The shell you have loaded
  2. How far you are aiming to hit
  3. The deviation to the right/left of the shell (from your character’s point of view)

image

To have a higher chance of success at firing artillery shells on your enemies’ territory, it’s best if you have a telescope in hand. Or even better yet, a “spotter” to have their telescope always on the target, telling you where to aim while you control the artillery.

Each tile further means you’ll have to add the value of “1” to the distance. If you want to hit 45 tiles away, you must aim for “45” distance.*

image

The sway is the “deviation” or just sway, that the shell will be affected by. If you fire from coordinates that aren’t exactly aligned with your enemy, you can use these to move your shell left-to-right instead of moving the artillery.

image

You will need to load a shell before firing, you can clearly see if there’s one by checking the panel.

image

There are many kinds of shells, like chlorine shells, zyklon B shells, white phosphorus shells, makeshift nuclear shells and many more, but let’s see these more simple examples.

image This is a High-Explosive shell, it will create a big explosion where it lands, spreading fire along. Great if your enemy has houses made out of wood or if there’s grass around.

image This is an Armor-Piercing shell, it will pierce through the armour of tanks.

All the other shells are:

Chlorine Designed to cause overexposure to the chlorine element, it causes respiratory system failure and severe nose and throat irritation
Mustard A man-made agent which causes chemical burning of the skin, eyes, and throat., very nasty stuff.
Phosgene A far more potent and well disguised cousin of chlorine gas, it has a slightly delayed but otherwise identical effect.
White Phosphorus A type of pyrophoric incendiary munition, it ignites air creating a large smoke cloud. Temperatures high enough to cause fourth degree burns to anyone unfortunate enough to be in direct contact.
Xylyl Bromide Primarily used as a "tear gas" type agent. Stereotypical respiratory pain and eye, skin, and throat irritations. Not heavily lethal, however.
Zyklon B Cyanide-based pesticide, it impedes upon cellular respiration. In simpler words it 'deactivates' the entire human body within minutes post-inhalation.
APCR A shell designed with a hard metal penetrating core, it has extreme penetrative force made to wound tank crews and disable vehicle components.
AP A steel alloy shell designed to survive the shock of direct hits against metal armor and continue going. Not exactly fancy but it works.
HE A shell designed to inflict as much concussive explosive force as possible, applications include destruction of fortifications or direct anti-personnel usages.
Makeshift Nuclear A shell designed to irradiate a large area for long periods of time.
