hello and welcome to my channel kurus here today I am back with another guide for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader in this video we are going to Showcase some of the weapons that you get access early in the game we will also explain what makes these weapons unique what type of damage they deal and how we can get advantage of these bonuses we will show some of these weapons in action as well disclaimer this is not the pre-released version of the game and this footage is from the beta so stuff may have changed still lot of things to learn from this video subscribe if you haven't already and with the intro out of the way let's inspect these lovely weapons first to better understand how all these weapons work let's learn about damage types note this slide can be accessed while in game at any time there will be three main groups of damage types physical energy and irreducible and each of these will include several subtypes so for the the first one we have impact rending piercing and power for the energy one we have fire shock toxic and thermal and last one for the irreducible we have warp mental and machine now that we know this we can start to see which kind of weapons we can get access to the first one of the list are primitive so these are regular weapons which have nothing special pretty much also note that each weapon will have different attacks as you can see from the Primitive axe we have strike consuming one AP and hitting a single enemy and swing consuming two AP and hitting up to three enemies next one is chain which is pretty much a chainsaw spinning at full speed integrated into a sword so let's see a bit of the chains sword in action I'm using a fighter that can charge an attack for free and then I'm just going to use the regular attack I will then then use a single attack and then I'm able to use my ultimate to have an additional turn and then I will proceed to use the second ability of the sword that will let me attack in three squares at the same time and to finish the turn we will be able to attack this guy a couple times and finish him off the next weapon is power mole but note the damage is laser weapons with this type of damage are specially efficient against heavy armored targets as we will penetrate a lot of their armor also the area of effect ability Force swing covers a much wider area next sample will be a power weapon which has decent armor penetration as well as a very wide area of effect attack brutal strike next weapon we are going to Showcase it is a pyer weapon this has the laser property and it will let us cast lightning Arc which is like a chain Lightning Spell careful when casting this as it can jump to your allies now let's see some ranged weapon samples the first one will be the last pistol this type of weapon will impose a 20% Dodge reduction on the enemy so it is excellent to bring down those agile enemies next weapon that we will focus on are bolt weapons these weapons use a type of ammunition that will explode upon impact these type of weapon feature a very powerful skill called burst fire that will basically shoot several projectiles in a straight line with a little bit of spread the next weapon is a shotgun it belongs to the solid category so it means regular Weaponry with regular ammunition however it has a very strong ability called shotgun scatter so you can basically hit a lot of enemies with this shot opposing me was yourg mistake coming next the flamethrower and its variations in this case it will be a hand flamethrower it will feature two different attacks the first one is flame string which is an horizontal attack in a straight line hitting several enemies the second attack will cover a much wider area however it will cost three action points out of the four that you normally have in a turn last weapon that we will Showcase in the video it's a twoand plasma weapon normally you will need a talent to get access to this type of weapon plasma weapon features very high armor penetration as well as three different shots first one is a single Target shot second one is an area of effect attack but it will impose a two turn coold down on that attack in particular and the third one is a single attack but with increased damage faith without Deeds is worthless to close the video I showcase some of the talents that you can get that will directly improve the efficiency damage or utility of some of these weapons also keep in mind there are many other weapons that I have not been able to showcase here hope you enjoyed this quick weapons guide let me know in the comments if you liked it and if you enjoyed it and as usual thank you very much for watching and see you in the next video adios
