In Dark and Darker, Weapons are a significant aspect of gameplay that require strategic consideration as players are given the opportunity to discover and utilize different types of weapons to suit their playstyle and preferences. In addition to the standard melee weapons like swords, maces, daggers, polearms, and axes, there are also ranged weapons like bows and crossbows that allow for combat from a distance. The game also features magical weapons that can be used to cast spells, as well as shields that can be used for defense.

Weapons have different properties and parameters that affect their performance in combat, including attack damage, attack speed, range, attack animations. 

== Rarity==
Weapons can improve and become stronger as their rarity level increases. A weapon's rarity typically reflects its level of power, with higher rarity weapons providing more damage output and other attributes that can enhance the player's performance in combat.

There are 8 rarities in the game.

<span class="colorrarity0">Junk</span> | <span class="colorrarity1">Poor</span> | <span class="colorrarity2">Common</span> | <span class="colorrarity3">Uncommon</span> | <span class="colorrarity4">Rare</span> | <span class="colorrarity5">Epic</span> | <span class="colorrarity6">Legendary</span> | <span class="colorrarity7">Unique</span>

Rarity <span class="colorrarity3">Uncommon</span> and above adds an extra random [[Enchantments|Enchantment]].

<span class="colorrarity3">Uncommon </span> rarity adds up to 1 new [[Enchantments|enchantment]].

<span class="colorrarity4">Rare</span> rarity adds up to 2 new [[enchantments]].

<span class="colorrarity5">Epic</span> rarity adds up to 3 new [[enchantments]].

<span class="colorrarity6">Legendary</span> rarity adds up to 4 new [[enchantments]].

<span class="colorrarity7">Unique</span> rarity adds up to 5 new [[enchantments]].

==Stat Randomization==
Not only are the [[enchantments]] a gear piece is imbued with randomized, but some of it's base stats are also randomized.

In general, only the damage values on weapons and the armor rating on armors are variable.

As such, 2 gear pieces of the same rarity can have different base stats.

There are some exceptions like the Lightfoot Boots, these also have randomized movement speed values based on rarity. 

For example, a <span class="colorrarity5">Epic</span> rarity Armet can have a 36 ~ 38 Armor Rating, which means that stat can roll between 36 to 38.

==Attack Speed Explanation==
'''Windup''' = Time before attack's start

'''Attack''' = Attack duration, this is where swing, thrust etc. happens

'''Combo''' = Time between current attack's end to next attack's start

'''Recover''' = Time it takes the animation to reset back to default position


Animations' collision turns on before '''Attack''' phase and can deal damage during that time, however this is unlikely for most attacks as the weapon is usually over head or on the side, making it hard to hit that early. 

These times are calculated for '''0% Action Speed''', attack speed will change according to player's [[Stats#Action_Speed|stats]].


Weapon's data table shows attack speed of full combo. '''Recover''' time would be different for each combo.

For example, full combo of [[Arming Sword]] is
*'''Windup''':399ms
*'''Attack''':205ms
*'''Combo''':634ms
*'''Attack''':157ms
*'''Combo''':976ms
*'''Attack''':154ms
*'''Recover''':1213ms

However, one hit combo would be <br>
*'''Windup''':399ms
*'''Attack''':205ms
*'''Recover''':963ms

==Weapon Properties==
Some weapons also have special properties, for example, the Castillon Dagger's and the Stiletto Dagger's 3rd hit deals 50% and 40% more damage.

The "Combo" column reflects a weapon's attack type in game files and sometimes they don't match to its attack animation.

As for the "Weapon Hitbox" column, weapon's length doesn't necessarily determine a weapon's reach. How the weapon is hold, different attack animations affects weapon's reach. Thus, some shorter weapons have better reach than longer weapons.

==Impact Zones==
Most melee weapons operate on a impact zones system, meaning hitting an enemy with the tip of the weapon will deal the most damage and hitting further down on the blade/haft will deal less damage.
The number of impact zones vary between weapons.

Lets look at impact zones of [[Arming Sword]]:
<div style="display:flex;align-items: center;">
<div>
[[File:Arming Sword Hitbox.png|link=Arming Sword#Hitbox|x300px]]
</div>
<div><span style="color:green;">Green Zone deals 100% damage</span><br><br><span style="color:orange;">Orange Zone deals 90% damage</span><br><br><span style="color:red;>Red Zone deals 70% damage</span></div>

</div>
As [[Sword]]s overall balanced weapons and are less punished by the impact zones, weapons like [[Spear]] are affected a lot more.

Check individual weapon pages such as [[Falchion]] to see their impact zone images.
