Proto-Kinetic Accelerator (PKA for short) is ranged weapon that deals 25 blunt and 30 structural damage. It is mainly used by Salvage for mining or breaking structures and killing space fauna, such as Space Carp.

Modifications

Modifications (mods for short) allow for upgrades to PKA's damage, fire rate or range.

Requires research
Requires Kinetic Modifications, a Tier 2 Arsenal research.

Only two unique upgrades can be installed at the same time, such as damage and fire rate, but not damage and damage.

  • PKA modkit (damage) improves damage by 10 blunt and 15 structural, to 35 blunt and 45 structural.
  • PKA modkit (range) improves range by 2.75 tiles (by speeding up the projectile 1.5 times), to 8.25 tiles.
  • PKA modkit (fire rate) improves fire rate by 1.5 times, to 0.75 shots/sec.

Once researched, each mod can be made on a protolathe or security techfab with:

steel [15]silver bar [5]gold bar [5]

Acquisition

Found in vending machines

4 PKAs are available in Salvage Vendor.

Fabrication
