Due to 1.3 adding perks that change things such as extra damage to perks, some numbers might not be entirely accurate to what you find. Editing the chart to fit every little variable of damage is not within the scope of this guide, it is merely a guideline for base values of Spacemen weapons.

Note: Due to the nature of shotguns and damage falloff, your mileage may vary but displayed here is the maximum possible damage for all weapons.

According to Zag (The dev of Unfortunate Spacemen) all weapons have a consistent headshot multiplier of x1.25 with the only exception being the railgun at x1.5. (Thanks Zag!)
This multiplier does NOT apply to Spacemen with the Blast Shield perk.


Values marked with "X" cannot score headshots.


Also please note that aside from the Railgun, all guns are affected by damage falloff. I.E. They will do less damage the further you are from the target.



A note on "Murderer Stacks": From what I can tell, every time you kill an innocent Spaceman while not the Monster, you will gain a stack of Murderer. I don't need to tell you that your HP and Oxy goes down with every stack, but did you know your OUTGOING DAMAGE GETS NERFED AS WELL?

What I could get out of some lazy testing is that you seem to lose 12.5% of your outgoing damage with every stack, and it caps at 50% damage dealt. Damage taken is unaffected.

Numbers were found via testing, as usual.


Note: Claw attack damage is boosted by both the Claws Upon Claws, Nocturnal, and Fluid Sac perks, you can figure that one out.

This isn't really a guide about strategy or tips, I encourage people to form their own opinions from experience and maybe a little help from these statistics. However there are a few notable things this data showed me personally.

• The AR continues to be a great all around weapon, the inclusion of Soldier's Stim Pack turns it into a short lasting powerhouse that can turn a fight quickly.
  
  
• The LMG remains useful in extended engagements and is still a good battering ram, is also the Stim Pack's best friend.
  
  
• The Autoshotty continues to be a very powerful fight ending weapon, just don't miss the monster.
  
  
• The SMG finally has some contenders with balance changes, but still remains in my good favor. Just isn't clearly better than other options now.
  
  
• It's pretty obvious that the Flamethrower is much, much more dangerous to the monster than it is spacemen. Though it tends to still be very dangerous to everyone if you spray haphazardly.
  
  
• Shotgun = Oof (Slightly less so now.)
  
  
• The Flare Gun has some serious BM potential.
  
  
• Due to (unwarranted imo) nerfs to the Railgun, while it's still the best long range option in the game, as a monster hunter it stings but doesn't really turn the tides.
  
  
• The Magnum has a cool factor that can't be beaten, and if you land all of your shots your target is going to feel it.

I don't play this game anymore, therefore do not feel comfortable asserting my opinions based on gameplay from 6+ months ago!
