The best you can use
Sign in and set up your character to see the best gear you can use.
Estimate with the game's fight rules: 2d10 plus accuracy against a defense of 6 plus armor modifiers; a critical hit (two tens or 10 over the defense) deals ×1.5; damage minus the armor for that damage type, at least 1 per hit; base health 60; a turn every 10 s. Natural defense, skill bonuses, range and terrain are left out.

Codex entry
- Entry 1
Swarm coordination occurs through audible clicks at three distinct frequencies, suggesting a tonal command structure. Specimens isolated from the swarm cease all activity within minutes and die. Institute entomologists have not located a queen in any captured nest.
- Entry 2
Settlers near the old missile testing grounds know the swarm avoids running water. They build their privies over irrigation ditches and sleep with the windows facing the canal. The ones who built on dry land aren't around to share advice.
- Entry 3
Techno-shaman recordings preserve a swarm's tonal pattern slowed to one-tenth speed. The sound resembles a human voice counting. The count never reaches a number above thirteen. It always begins at four.
