Weapons & damage tests

The useful way to approach realistic ragdoll engine Weapons is as a controlled damage test: place a Ragdoll, choose a hit location, use one weapon type, and read the resulting state before changing the setup. The documented categories are Swords, Spikes, and Firearms. For the result labels and recovery steps after a test, see the damage states guide. This is a practical comparison of those tests, not a complete list of every weapon or a damage-stat table.

Choose a weapon test

Use the weapon category that matches the result you want to observe. The available demonstrations confirm the actions below, but they do not establish item names beyond these categories, damage values, range, ammunition, rarity, or unlock requirements.

Treat the last row as a broad test label, not a confirmed inventory item. The available text describes projectiles and shows piercing examples, but it does not provide a reliable formal name or acquisition route for each one.

Run a repeatable damage test

1. Place a Ragdoll. Start with one target in a clear position so you can see the hit and its movement.
2. Choose one variable. Keep the weapon type the same while changing only the body location or distance. This makes a difference in the result easier to spot.
3. Apply the hit. Use a Sword at close range, place a Spike against a selected body part, or shoot with a Firearm. For a Spike test, the recorded demonstration specifically examines the thin nose area and repeats the placement.
4. Read the result. Check the target's posture, movement, visible injury, and any displayed damage or death state. Possible states mentioned in the evidence include paralysis, blood loss, brain injury, decapitation, and cardiac arrest.
5. Reset before comparing. If the target is already dead or out of position, revive or replace it before trying the next weapon. Otherwise, a failed hit can be confused with a target-state problem.

Testing a Spike against a thin body area

This moment supports the repeatable damage test by showing a Spike test focused on the thin nose area and repeated placement.

This route helps separate a weapon effect from physics interference. Movement, flight, obstacles, crushing setups, and collision position can change what happens after a hit, so record the immediate weapon response before combining it with an environmental hazard.

Fix a Sword that does nothing

Sword failure is specifically shown in a recorded demonstration: the player says the swords are not working several times and considers reviving the target before trying again. Use this recovery sequence:

Retrying a Sword test after a failed hit

This moment supports the Sword troubleshooting section by showing repeated failed sword attempts and the suggested revival retry.

1. Stop repeating the same swing on the unchanged target.
2. Check that the Ragdoll is still in the intended position and that the blade can reach the target.
3. Revive the Ragdoll, or reset the test target if revival is unavailable in the current setup.
4. Swing again while watching the contact point.
5. If the result still does not change, test another target or weapon category rather than claiming that the Sword has a known damage value.

The evidence supports revival as a sensible retry, not as a confirmed universal Sword requirement. If the game behaves differently after an update, follow the current in-game interaction and treat that result as decisive.

Read the damage result correctly

Do not assign one permanent death cause to one weapon. A Sword can be tested for cutting, a Spike for piercing, and a Firearm for shooting, but the final state can depend on the body part, force, target condition, and surrounding physics. Compare the result shown by the game with the test setup instead of turning one demonstration into a guaranteed rule.

For example, a Spike placed against a thin area such as the nose is useful for testing placement sensitivity. It does not prove a fixed multiplier or an instant kill. Likewise, a shooting demonstration confirms that shooting occurs and that a Ragdoll can fly afterward; it does not establish a firearm's range or projectile speed.

What the current weapon evidence does not cover

There is no reliable complete weapon catalog, shop location, price list, rarity system, unlock path, ammunition system, or numerical damage chart in the supplied evidence. An external Update 2 page mentions new weapons and tools without naming them, so it should not be used to fill those missing fields. Recheck the live game when you need an item name or a current availability answer.

FAQ

What weapons are documented in Realistic Ragdoll Engine?

The available evidence names Swords, Spikes, and Firearms. Projectiles are discussed as a broader piercing or flying type, but a complete list of projectile items is not documented.

Why is my Sword not working?

Check the target's position and revive or reset the Ragdoll before trying again. Repeated Sword failures and a suggested revival retry are shown in the recorded demonstration, but the evidence does not prove that revival is always required.

Do Spikes always kill a Ragdoll?

No. The documented test emphasizes the hit location, including a thin nose area, rather than a guaranteed outcome. Use the current damage or death result shown in the game.

Are weapon damage numbers or unlock requirements available?

Not from the supplied evidence. It does not establish numerical damage, weapon prices, ammunition, rarity, range, or unlock requirements, and the Update 2 article does not name the new weapons or tools it mentions.
