Weapons:
Scrap plank (Wooden Sword)
This blunt club hardly deserves its designation as a weapon, as it can’t be used for much more than bludgeoning giant rats to death.
Lead pipe (Stone Sword)
A makeshift weapon made out of a few random pipe sections. Hollow on the inside, painfully stable on the outside.
Knock-o-matic Sledgehammer (Iron sword)
The K.O. is a sledgehammer with a twist! An inbuilt flywheel conserves momentum when the hammer is moved around. Upon impact the force is unleashed in a second burst, allowing more efficient processing of work pieces and alleviated decapitation of foes.
Cattle prod (Diamond Sword)
For reasons unknown, some big wheel at Orbital decided that all cocoons should be supplied with a set of cattle prods. With no surviving cattle that would tolerate prodding, the prods can be used as a viable weapon when overcharged with uranium power rods.
Just don’t touch the buzzing end.
Analytic Probe (Golden Sword)
A multi-purpose tool employed by Orbital Industries scientists, mostly to study various factors of the moon's environment. While not a weapon per se, it’s capable of giving off low current shocks, intended to determine a substance's conductance.
Single shocks are ignorable for any healthy human, but present a danger when received in large doses. Packs of mutated scientists, bent on probing places where the sun doesn’t shine, should not be trifled with…
Fire arm (Bow)
While the name is quite general by our standards it speaks volumes in the wastes. It combines various elements of pre-war weapons technology into a single simplified form. It is used to fire projectiles which are tipped with a metal shard and tailed with a small fuel compartment which is ignited as it is fired. Between the tip and the fuel compartment is a hollow aluminum tube. The FireArm is the primary tool of bandits in the waste due to its convenience and surprising accuracy (if assembled correctly).
TOOLS:
(The tools go in order Wood → Stone → Iron → Diamond → Gold)
Shovels
Cricket bat
A simple bat made of cheap metal. Not exactly the best choice for digging, but better than nothing.
Shovel An oversized trowel, more fit for gardening purposes than excavations, but still more useful than the cricket bat.
Folding spade A military grade entrenching tool with a telescopic stick. Light, durable, reliable and suitable as a weapon of last resort.
MOOSE The “Moon soil entrencher” is a nuclear powered digging tool, developed by Orbital during the preparations for the moon landing. When supplied with an uranium power rod the diamond-tipped pan of the shovel begins to vibrate at high frequencies, making loosening the ground much easier.
Rusty shovel A hand-made tool back from the “good ol’ days” before corporations and their mass products took over. While they were crafted quite skillfully and mine any soil at speeds only matched by the MOOSE, their durability has severely deteriorated.
