...if STR is your primary stat. Seriously. After the nth Sword hit for 6% with my 6 STR, I decided to perform a little experiment. Not to equip a weapon for the next five missions to see how it goes.

Long story short, I never failed to melee hit for less than 20%, including a 25% punch against a bot with 3 END. I don't think weapons are supposed to REDUCE your minimum damage, are they?

Well if it was the 0/0 requirment sword, Given the range factor and the opponets ability to absorb damage a 6% is still with in the scope for your bot.

But Tammuz did post a nice lil graph awhile back that shows brawling at a point begins to over take weapons. The reason being the formula used to equate damage has a exponetial in it. Thus the more you invest past that point the faster weapons look like paper swords and cap guns.

Pretty sure I'm at that point, heh.

Of course... with 6 strength, you're probably slow and not well balanced for missions.

Hehe, I'm beginning to see more and more people on the weaponless bandwagon.
