Engineers Stackable special weapon effects? Are there any?

[Susanna]

As per usual, fdev have been vague with the special weapon effects that can be applied both in terms of their stackability on multiple weapons and the negative DPS hit that they cause.

Is there a list anywhere that :

a) shows which effects are stackable and on which weapons
b) shows the negative impact that each special effect has

Many Thanks!

Depends what you mean by stacking. Plenty of special effects are useful on more than one weapon, but I presume you're on about on-damage effects rather than auto-loader and the like?

In which case, the stacking effects are:

• Phasing
• Force Shell
• High Yield Shell
• Penetrator Munitions
• Reverb Cascade
• Feedback Cascade
• Thermal Shock (to an extent)
• Thermal Cascade (to an extent)
• Thermal Vent
• Thermal Conduit
• Regeneration sequence
• Scramble spectrum
• Super Penetrator

Thsoe that don't stack are

• Concordant Sequence
• Dazzle shell (IIRC)
• Drag Munitions
• Emissive Munitions
• Corrosive Shell
• Ion Disruption
• Mass Lock Munitions
• Overload Munitions
• Shift-lock canister
• Target Lock Breaker
• Dispersal Field

Open this link and select bookmark "Wep. Expe. effects" below. It is still in the works state, but it already contains quite a bit of information.

Good luck.

This is a great list! Thank you!

I presume Incendiary comes in the 'does not stack' list?

Grape's list, with the exception of thermal vent, is a list of effects that can be applied to a target.

Incendiary doesn't apply any special effects to a target. It changes the damage type of the weapon to thermic, increased the thermal load of firing that weapon, and reduces rate of fire...all of which stack the same as any other such attributes from any other weapon.

Forceshell doesnt stack!
there was a time forceshell was stackable, but it propelled ships over 1000ms.. so they nerfed it into oblivian.

It doesn't stack as much, but hitting a ship with 2 force shells has a greater impact than hitting them with 1
