What Is The Armory?
The Armory in Dystopian Sky: Skirmish is where players purchase weapons, gear, and upgrades for their Units using Credits. There are five distinct manufacturers: Makeshift Munitions, Blue Imp, Valkyrie Optics, Aco-Lite, and Chimera Kinetics, each offering a unique style and function. Each item has a Tech Requirement, and Units must have a Tech stat that meets or exceeds that requirement in order to wield the item. Weapons can be upgraded by paying their current value to the Armory, gaining +1 Damage Die and +1 Tech, increasing their power, Value, and Tech Requirement.
Makeshift Munitions is the name you need to remember if you want weapons that actually work. Built from scrap and salvaged materials from Old-Earth, their lineup includes the Pipe Pistol, Double-Barrel Shotgun, and the Sledge, no high Tech required. These weapons may be rough around the edges, but they get the job done when it counts. They're not upgradable, sure, but in a world like the Dystopian Sky, you don’t need fancy gadgets, just raw power and simplicity. Each weapon tells a story of survival, crafted in the heat of necessity. Makeshift Munitions is all about survival, and though their gear is rough on the outside, it is as reliable as it gets, perfect for those who need to get dirty and keep fighting.
Blue Imp, originally known as Red Imp, is a weapons manufacturer that traces its roots back to Earth before its destruction. In a savvy marketing move, the company rebranded to Blue Imp after the emergence of the Vutharan Empire, capitalizing on the widespread news and associating itself with the cutting-edge cobalt weaponry favored by this powerful new blue-skinned people. Their commitment to quality and style have made them popular among Gauti Enforcers and corporate spies alike. Blue Imp offers a variety of Cobalt™ weapons, which are prized for their chromed blue steel, blending affordability, effectiveness and style in combat.
Valkyrie Optics is a leading manufacturer of high-precision laser optics, specializing in advanced optical lenses and blasters. Their product line includes powerful laser-based weapons, from the Valkyrie Turboblaster to the devastating Valkyrie Gatling Laser. Valkyrie’s expertise is also evident in mods like the Valkyrie Reflex Sight and Valkyrie Telescopic Sight, which enhance a firearm’s effective range. Renowned for their craftsmanship, Valkyrie Optics holds a prestigious contract as the main supplier for the Alliance of Earth Nations (AEN). Always wear eye protection when using a Valkyrie laser; the company is not responsible for vision loss due to equipment mishandling or improper P.P.E. use.
Aco-Lite is a company that repurposes Vutharan military tech for civilian use, earning favor among Vutharans for its sleek designs and widespread availability. They are renowned for their sleek steel plasma weapons, highlighted by glowing green accents and powered by electrically charged particles. These weapons have a unique characteristic: they can sometimes Arc, meaning the electrically charged particles jump from the intended target to other nearby targets. This makes Aco-Lite plasma weaponry particularly effective, but also potentially dangerous to the user and those around them. Therefore, the company recommends using protective equipment like insulated rubber gloves, which grant a Resistance to Arcs.
Chimera Kinetics is a company that pushes the limits of weapons technology by adapting Consciousness Relay drone tech. Their innovative fusion of synthetic materials and biological components results in incredibly advanced, powerful weapons. Crafted from metal alloys, plastics, and living tissue, their creations include projectiles that phase through hardened materials and pierce directly into flesh. Chimera weapons are easily recognized by their minimalistic white polymer exteriors and writhing purple internals. Chimera Kinetics assumes no responsibility for the loss of limbs or life caused by their phase technology.
