Talk:Rock-It Launcher ammunition

"Uses junk for ammo" - Odd Name
the name of this page is ... odd

Yes, I know. I wanted to rename it 'Rock-It Ammo', but you have to be logged in for that, and I forgot my pword long ago.

 * Thank you. I wanted to include weights, but I'm not really convinced weight has any effect on damage, regardless of the description and the claims that it does. An iron doesn't seem to hit any harder than a spork.--97.81.77.13 05:41, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Damage
Does the amount of damage depend on the weight of junk? Or something else?

Seems to be weight. MisterPuck 09:29, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

If anyone has info regarding this, please add it to the Rock-It Launcher talk page.Fiddlesoup 17:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Edit - Friday, January 9, 2009
Ok, so I went in and corrected all the incorrect information, added in what was missing, rearranged a couple items, and capitalized all letters in item codes, to "normalize" it. I used the GECK item "RockItLauncherAmmo", which is a full list of the items the RIL can shoot.
 * Some notes:
 * 1. The number balls (2,5,8, etc.) both in the GECK and in-game are named without -s, i.e. "2 Ball" not "2-Ball". As far as I can see we'd have to change the names of the articles.
 * 2. The item "lawnmower blade" is listed in-game and in the GECK as "Lawn Mower Blade", another article name change needed...
 * 3. There are two "Butter Knife"s in the GECK, one is more common than the other (~200+ vs. ~150+), so I labeled them common and uncommon to differentiate. If that's unecessary, or if someone else has a better idea, then that should be changed as well.
 * 4. There are two items named "Medical Brace". The rarer kind has a value of 1, not 10, can't be used for Deathclaw Gauntlet, and there's only one, in Raven Rock. I called it "Medical Brace (new)" which is its designation in the GECK.
 * 5. Changed all instances of "--" (the in-game menu designation) to 0 which is the value used in the GECK (so, "--" means 0). Plus more people will know what 0 means than "--".
 * 6. Removed the stud bit and the part at the top since the article is more or less complete at this point.Fiddlesoup 21:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * We should have put this in alphabetical order... meh, I'm not putting any more time into this page until we're done with the weapons. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 22:22, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

This advice seems incorrect...
" Mutilated Skulls and other such mutilated body parts (often found in Gore Bags) are also favorable ammo, as they do not add weight. Besides, there's something just plain satisfying about using a gun that fires skulls. " While it is true that it's amusing to kill something with a mutilated skull/other body part; these items, the last I checked DO have weight. 70.121.211.242 04:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they all have a weight of 2, so I guess that should be removed or at least changed. Icko 21:03, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
