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
Ultraviolet examination shows their exoskeletons fluoresce at a wavelength slightly outside the range of any known pre-war species. Institute researchers theorize the chitin molecular structure was altered by sustained exposure to an unclassified ambient energy source.
- Entry 2
Settlers near Prosperity tell a story about a trader who kept a scorpion in a jar on his belt for luck. Said it always pointed its claws toward water. Worked perfectly for years. Until one day it pointed straight up at the Scar and never moved again.
- Entry 3
Desert patrols report finding scorpions arranged in perfect concentric circles around certain rocks at dawn. The rocks themselves test normal: no heat, no magnetism, nothing measurable. Just ordinary stone.
