The Xeno Basher

[Vegas Doc]

I notice that when I equip the Xeno Basher, there is a box (heart) stating 4/5. I thought, "Oh no, my Xeno basher is wearing out with use", so I made a new one, recycled the old one, equipped it and had the same results. Now I'm trying to figure out what 4/5 means, is it like a DAM or HIT roll like in D&D games, or is it something much more simpler than that?

The Xeno Basher is my favorite melee weapon, much more than the rebar gun or rifle, even though it's not a ranged weapon. But sometimes it is kinda nice to sit up on an elevated view point and pick off some unexpecting victim, completely naive, having no defense or retaliation, "game" for innards or exoskeletons with the ranged weapons, like a sniper I guess. I prefer the close combat, ninja warrior frays myself, keeps me on my toes, don't even carry a scanner to warn me about them most of the time.

So... any idea what that 4/5 means? probably going to feel really dumb when I find out.

Oh, and while we are answering that, what about the vehicle damage, what's the purpose? Just recycle it and make a new one... right?

There are 5 equipable slots, so when you switch equipped item it'll show 1/5, 2/5 etc.

Agreed, they should make sense vehicle health. Never got a single damage to them.

I've managed to take some damage in a vehicle, so it is possible. But as far as being able to recycle it and build a new one, I believe that is a function of early access. I would assume that later releases will allow for much more damage to vehicles, and deconstruction penalties.
Its probably just coded in now to keep it simple later on.

Ahh, the slot that it's in, (head slap) OK... and yeah if spiders chase the vehicle, it does damage, I was looking for some sort of repair shop, truck stops etc... didn't see any, the damage was only like 17%, so didn't recycle it..and I'm not looking forward to riding my dune buggies and then have them suddenly disintegrate right out beneath me! It's a factory building game after all, right?

I use the small vehicles to jump off cliffs. If you land on it a certain way you take no damage and BOUNCE. LMAO

I generated a truck one time, and before I even got into it, it floated up about 20M and then ZOOOoooomed off someplace never to be found again! So, I loaded a save, didn't worry about it...that's the kind of Pioneer that I am, don't worry about the small stuff.
