Weapon

**Weapons** are a type of item in *Eternal Return*.

## Description

Weapons allow characters to increase their offensive capabilities and empower their attacks. They can either be found in containers, looted from wild animals around Lumia Island or crafted by mixing different materials and components together.

A weapon can only be equipped by characters who can use its weapon type. Characters will begin the match with a Common weapon of the type they've chosen.

Each weapon type has its own base Attack Speed and Attack Range values that is added to the character's base statistics (also known as stats) and also comes with its own active weapon skill.

In addition to these base stat values, each individual weapon grants their own set of buffs to the character's statistics (these will be listed in green), with higher tier weapons generally granting more and greater stat values. When a stat buff is labeled "[Unique]" it means that it cannot be stacked with the same unique labeled buff from any equipped armor. When equipping multiple items that grant the same unique buff, only the strongest version will be active. A few items may also grant negative stat debuffs (which will be displayed in red) to counterbalance strong buffs.

On top of the stat buffs, certain weapons grant powerful [Unique Passive] effects. These will be listed at the bottom of the item's description, each with a unique name. Similar to unique stat buffs, Unique Passive effects won't stack with those sharing the same name from any equipped armor and only the strongest variant will be in effect.

Some weapons use an ammo system, where one cartridge is consumed with each basic attack done with them. Once they run out of cartridges, ammo based weapons must be reloaded before they can be fired again, which will set them back to full. Different weapons have a different maximum ammo count.

It is worth mentioning that different weapons deal different amounts of damage when attacking Summon deployables. For more information, see: Installation
