For reference to anyone wondering, the stat for CE one handed should be marked with (CE). There also is "Usable with shields" but that one is from one of the VE mods, not CE

[@johnTheWetOneWetton]

I discovered that in the worst way possible...

[@gif-2780]

I can say that melee pawns have A LOT HIGHER "power limit" than ranged: with legendary equipment ranged pawn just doesn't miss, but its firepower is limited. With melee pawn quality DIRECTLY influence damage and penetration.

[@SicklyShogun]

it's on the other guide

[@kripto7793]

[@auggie8958]

Good video, furthermore, I am of the opinion that VE should be destroyed

[@freiter6126]

I was playing rimworld for year and learned all basics and even itteresting mechanics, but ,ofcourse, when you learned all yhe game starts to be easy and thats boring. So, I instaled some mods (quality life mostly) and a combat extended mods. I was scared what all what I know will be useless, but now I know that melee and ranget was reworked, but old knowledge is istill actual.

[@hko2006]

8:25 uranium warhammer may be enough but not mace

[@SicklyShogun]

Massive Miscalculation on my part sorry

[@namvo3013]

Parry also damage the weapon a little
