Ammunition

There are dozens of kinds of ammunition available in SYNTHETIK, many with unique (and unusual) effects. Each ammo type adheres to a certain technology, which determines the base stats of all ammo in that technology class.

Note: The armor penetration of ammo overwrites the penetration of its technology. (An ammo type with 25 armor pen with a technology that grants 10 armor pen will still only have 25 armor pen.)

The travel speed is (the default ammo speed value * 60)/sec. Calculations are always done in 1080p.

To see a list of all weapons based on their ammo type, see here.

BALLISTIC SOFT

• Small and medium sized ballistic ammunition is ideal for close and midrange, but lacks armor penetration and loses quite a bit of damage over distance.
