Title: Rust Maker
Post by: UnLimiTeD on September 17, 2020, 07:05:31 pm
Has anyone actually used the Rust Maker unique item?
From a first glance at it, it seems to just exist to draw attention to the existence of that particular acid, if someone has miraculously missed it until then, yet I can't think of any use-case for it; Same with he rusting acid for chem pistols. On the player, degrading items are annoying, on npcs, I don't think it makes a big difference on anything short of a boss character, and might degrade loot?

The on hit effect is secondary and is mostly just for consistency. The fact that the weapon has part of it base damage be non-mechanical (acid) is that is supposed to be interesting about the weapon.

Also, you forget that the rusting acid has increased damage and machines.

Ahh, I overlooked that on the acid. I saw it on the weapon and thought "meh", but on the pistols, that is very relevant. Good point.
