Description

Augmented with this upgrade, an attack can break through armor and weaponry very easily.

Logistics

When Armor Piercing is applied to an external energy projection or weapon, it is capable of breaking up to it's Charge in physical attacks before losing any strength. This may be increased to 2x by purchasing Armor Piercing a second time. This may only affect attacks made by external items. Unarmed Melee attacks are not affected by this.

When affecting Physical Based Durability, Armor Piercing multiplies the damage by 1.25x. A second level can increase this to 1.5x. This damage comes out of stamina as normal, and is limited by Charge Capacity. This will only affect Armor, Physical Barriers, Physical Passive Defense, and other Physical obstructions. It will not affect Body Durability.

This upgrade costs 45 (34/56) tech days per iteration.
