* [[Clothing and armor]]: All clothes that had the Ballistic protective trait lose it.

Changes to [[Mining]] have been introduced to simplify it and make it easier.
* Mining now works according to a hit point system instead of a chance-to-succeed system. The objective is to make mining more of a straight trade of resources and favor strength-based builds (which would already benefit from using tools like pick-axes and mattocks as weapons).

* A pick or drill strike reduces the target's hit points; the check is based on the skill level (1d20 to 1d60, in increments of 10), multiplied by Strength.
* Explosives damage equal to their limb damage multiplied by a number that depends on skill level (x1 to x3, in 0.5 increments).
* The length of a Mining Level has been shortened from 15 + Mine level to 8 + Mine level
* It is now possible to save your progress exploring a mine and leave without having to start over from Level -1.

Changes to [[Unarmed combat]]:= November 1st 2022 =* Two new techniques, '''StealVersion 6.6.3''' and '''Monkey's Paw''', have been introduced.- The Static MG Update
Changes to shops and services:* The style shop has been revamped completely and is now a custom clothing service.** Completely custom human/halfling clothing items and youkai outfits can be designed there. The basic principle is for the player to describe, in freeThis update was co-form, what the item is supposed to look like, then to purchase protection ratings, covered body parts, effects, and more in order to give the custom item a useful purpose. This service is intentionally ''very expensive''.* Dojos have been expanded, and now offer various machines and training programs designed to improve a character's natural statistics:** The stats that can be improved are '''Natural [[Pain Sensitivity]], Natural [[Strength]], Max [[Blood]], Max [[Limb health|Limb HP]], Natural [[Endurance]], with GenericArchangel and Natural [[Agility]]'''** Each training program has an XP counter. Spending time (and effort) on a training nets XP, which can be spent aims to increase one natural stat, up to certain limits (some stats cannot be trained further once they reach a certain value, others have a maximum XP limit)** Training program XP is now tracked on inventory sheets.* The bank's item vault service has been modified:** Item vaults are no longer free adds more flavor and unlimited. A player character must first purchase an item vault before it can be used; this costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''1000''' and allows the player access additional combat opportunities to a 50-unit vault. This vault can be upgraded in 50-unit increments, up to the maximum size of 400 units; upgrading costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''(size x 15)'''** Withdrawing items from a vault now costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''500 + (weight of items withdrawn x 10)''', and it is not possible to withdraw more than 150 units of items at once.** Withdrawing items from a vault now requires waiting for 1d3 day periods (between 4 and 12 hours), as delivery time.** [[LBE]] items must be stored empty. LBE items that cannot be folded down (e.g. most backpacks) are not allowed inside the vault anymoreworld.
* Changes to [[Cover]]:
** New category of non-random cover (cannot appear in the UA): '''Machine gun emplacements''' (125 health, A4 armor)
** Four types of MG emplacements: three based on existing weapons ([[M249|Static M249]], [[QJY-88|Static QJY-88]], [[M60|Static M60]]) and a unique new one, based on the Browning M2 .50 BMG machine gun: [[Static M2HB]]
** Although static MGs function like weapons, they are non-equippable and not counted as new weapons (as they are elements of a piece of cover)
** MG emplacements appear only in Towns at the [[Town Entrance|Town Gate]]. The type they receive depends on the town's population ("the larger the town, the bigger the bullets")
* New [[weapon accessories]]:
** [[M2 ammo belt|M2 ammo belts]] and belt links

= May 23rd 2020 ='''Version 5.53''' - Update * Changes to [[foodUncivilized Area]] and [[huntingCivilized Areas]]:** Fast, Safe, and Deep routes are no longer available between all locations. While most locations are connected by a Deep route, the availability of a Safe or Fast route depends on the existence of a major trade route or traveling axis.** All wiki pages for each town, alongside the [[Intersection]] page, now feature route notation to inform players of each available route between each location.** A new [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379673260302008320/1036360652719149116/MzW_World_Map_11-2022.jpg world map] has been produced. It now shows a visual representation of each available route (green for Safe, blue for Fast, red for Deep).
Changes to [[Hunting]]:
* Game meat from certain creatures no longer provide [[Effects]] such as Alertness increase or Strength +10%/+20% for a few turns.
* Instead, a system of '''[[Hunting#High-value meat|high-value meat]]''' was created. Meat from certain creatures is now considered to be either a '''Delicacy''' (Double value) or a '''Luxury''' (Triple value).
Changes to [[Creatures]]:= October 18th 2022 =* The item lines of all relevant creatures now state if they produce delicacy meat, luxury meat, tainted meat, illegal meat, or if they produce no meat at all'''Version 6.** An exception was made for humans, halflings and youkai 6.1''' - their item lines do not display meat status, as it is assumed that the meat of all playable species is already known to be illegal.* All references to "Poisonous meat" have been changed to the correct term: [[Hunting#Tainted meat|Tainted meat]].The Str⑨ngest Balance Update
Changes to This update was co-designed with GenericArchangel and addresses minor balancing issues with specific [[FoodCharacter traits]]:* The '''Hot-gon''' no longer has a Strength boosting effect, in accordance to the changes listed above. Instead, nutrition was increased from 296 to 592[[yousei]] and [[kitsune]].
* [[Character traits]]:
** '''Fast learner''' now grants '''5d25 XP''' instead of 8d25 XP.
** '''Just Can't Use This''' now requires you to restrict '''4 [[combat skills]]''' instead of just 2. 2 of the skills restricted must be either Firearms or Heavy Weapons, and the other 2 must be Melee and Misc.

Notes==== [[Addictions]] ====* New addiction mechanics simplifying the previous system:As before, using a substance comes with a percentage chance of becoming addicted. However, the withdrawal tiers now function differently and more simply. Now, every use of an addictive substance is a chance to increase the current addiction level by 1, from the minimum of 0 (no effects) to the maximum of 3.* Creatures Instead of disabling corresponding withdrawal effects when an addictive substance's effects are active, withdrawal effects are now truly permanent and continue being active even if the character uses the corresponding substance. In other words, usage effects and withdrawal effects now stack.* [[Hospital]]: Addiction removal is now tier based and depends on the current level. It now costs 250 P$ and 2 day periods of mandatory rest per level, up to 750 P$ and 6 day periods (1 full day) for treating a single Level 3 addiction.* Addiction effects: To account for the possibility of med effects and withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the following withdrawal effects have not been modified yet:** Nicotine withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%** Alcohol withdrawal*** Level 1: Need a drink (level 1) applies to this character (see below), as the bestiary update is still in progress*** Level 2: Need a drink (level 2) applies to this character (see below), Agility -1*** Level 3: Need a drink (level 3) applies to this character (see below), Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations** Cannabis withdrawal*** Level 1: Mild munchies*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%, Mild munchies, Mild thirst*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst** Anabolic steroid withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 60.0%*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 90.0%, Rage** Sick hakutaku syndrome*** Level 1: IR +1*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations
==== [[Effects]] ====
* Alcohol affinity ([[Oni]] creature trait): Effect simplified. Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of [[Effects#Stress|Need a drink]] to compensate, this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the normal amount of Inebriation.
* The "Need a drink" effect has been delineated into 4 variants; Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. In essence, the "Need a drink" effect progressively offers less and less Stress relief per Inebriation gained as your character's level of Alcohol addiction increases.

'''Version 5.5''' - Game mechanics changes, new ammo types
Changes to [[Recoil]]:= August 24th 2022 =* Recoil calculation and effects no longer rely on exact shot order, but now instead only needs total shots fired, significantly cutting down on the amount of time that needs to be spent counting and checking shots'''Version 6.* 5.3''' The new Recoil system works as follows: Every Recoil level has a limit of shots (the Accuracy Drop Threshold, or ADT) that can be fired - if a character shoots over ADT, accuracy and aim wandering effects are applied to the entirety of the shot string, and not just the shots that go over ADT. A second level with even more severe penalties is applied if the amount of shots fired is equal to more than double the limit.** As before, going over ADT will result in aim wandering (which sends shots to R&bodyaim instead of the desired point of aim), however instead of being applied only starting from the shot that went over the limit, aim wandering applies to ALL shots if the total amount of shots fired goes over the limit. [[Weapon accessories#Laser sights|Laser sights]] still cancel out this aim wandering effect.** Accuracy windows and effects of going over ADT once and twice will also be updated.R Update
Changes to ==== [[Combat modeBasic mechanics]] ====* Created and defined the concept of [[WeaponsDowntime]]; specifically, '''[[Weapons#Firearm failure types|critical failure]]''' effects:* Like with Recoil changes above, critical failure effects no longer rely on knowing exact shot order, but only the total shot count, and in particular the critical failure count.** '''Failures to eject (stovepipes)''': For every stovepipe that occurs, the two highest scoring shots (excluding critical failures) are cancelled. If 3 stovepipes occur in a single string of fire, the 6 highest scoring shots are never fired. This has the potential of cancelling critical hits.** '''Failures to fire (misfires)''': No changes.** '''Failures to feed''': *** If '''2 or less''' occurred during the same string of fire: Same as stovepipes.*** If '''3 or more''' occurred during the same string of fire: All shots are cancelled and the weapon is considered to be '''jammed'''; this can be fixed by performing a reload action.** '''Failures to burn''': No changes.
New [[ammunition types]] for pistol and rifle calibers:
* '''Tracer (T)''': FMJ bullets with an illuminating compound at the base of the bullet, which lights up and displays bright, colored light when fired. Tracer ammunition is used to visibly see the flight path of a bullet, and is useful for controlling long strings of fire, particularly full auto, as it allows a shooter to physically see where the bullets are going.
** Effects: Increases ADT by a certain amount of shots, which scales with Recoil level. However, it always breaks Stealth even when shot with a silenced firearm; the tracer light works both ways and can be seen by others, thus revealing your position.
*** Recoil 1-2: ADT +4 shots
*** Recoil 3-4: ADT +3 shots
*** Recoil 5-6: ADT +2 shots
*** Recoil 7-8: ADT +1 shots
* '''Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP)''': Also known as metal-piercing bullets, they offer a lower cost alternative to full AP or APX, but are less effective at defeating armored targets.
** Effects: 0.8x damage against unarmored ACs, 1.3x damage against armored ACs.
* Retail ammunition using these new projectiles is now also available:
** [[.22 Long Rifle]]: Standard T
** [[.30 Carbine]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T

Changes to [[Stress]]:
* Stress thresholds for Low and Moderate have been adjusted (respectively 0.0% : 19.9% and 20.0% : 49.9%)
* Stress is no longer gained from taking damage ([[Pain]], [[Limb Damage]]...) or from sustained injuries.
* [[Effect#Stress|Stress gained from combat (now clarified as an effect called Combat Stress)]] is now calculated differently; the total amount is now equal to '''(Td4)x0.1xE''', where T is the total amount of turns spent in combat, and E is the amount of enemies at the start of a fight.
** Effectively, this means gaining between 0.1% and 0.4% Stress per turn spent, multiplied by the amount of starting enemies.
* Stress gained from combat is now given at the end of combat, instead of gradually turn by turn.
* The Stress Tolerance [[effect]] is scrapped.

(Previously, it also dealt 0.5x damage to torso/hips)** Simplified injury calculation from explosive weapons. It is now dependent on base explosive damage; specifically, equal to '''BED / 4 rounded down''' (or in other words, for every 4 full points of limb damage dealt by an explosive weapon, 1 wound is also dealt).* [[Chlorine bomb]] and Chlorine gas clouds:** Removed the 25% chance to lose eyes per turn spent in a chlorine gas cloud. It was replaced by an additional damage effect (2 limb damage to a random body part per turn spent in a cloud).* [[Crafting items]]** Gun Repair Kits can no longer be used to repair dud explosives; this ability was moved to the...** New toolkit: '''Explosives Toolkit (XTK)'''.

If at least 1 Charge point is in the weapon, the user can use a special attack ("Terminating Seal" for the gohei, "Cleansing Fire" for the shaku) which will allow the weapon to temporarily deal quadruple (4x) damage instead of just double against the species it is designed to hurt, for one turn only. On the following turn, the weapon loses all of its Charge points.
* Introducing a new type of key item, the '''skeleton key'''; 10 different types exist, from Type 0 to Type 9. The purpose of a skeleton key is to open any mechanical lock, as long as the type matches the first digit of the lock's serial number (e.g. a Type 2 skeleton key will open any lock from 2000 to 2999).
** Skeleton keys break after one use.
** They can be sometimes found in '''&stuff'''.
** They can also be crafted; two new crafting blueprints, '''SkelKeyA''' and '''SkelKeyB''' were introduced. In a first for the game, these recipes also require a certain skill level in Lockpicking in order to use (respectively, Lv2 - Basic, and Lv3 - Skilled).
* Introducing a new type of toolkit, the '''hacking tool''', which is essentially an electronic lockpick. Hacking tools are disposable devices with electronic spoofing software; they can be used up to 10 times, then brick themselves.
** It replaces the HX-1337 series of hacking augmentations, which have been scrapped from the game.
** Modifications to the hacking mini-games were made to accomodate for the new hacking tool.
** The '''&loginwords''' command was renamed to '''&words''', and its dictionary of words was increased from 810 to 8738 words.
* '''Kasha buffs''': Kasha base stats have been improved (Base limb health: 43 -> 60, Max Blood 12 -> 17, Pain sensitivity 163% -> 117%), and their old "Savage" ability was removed, and replaced with two new abilities, '''Natural Hunter''' and '''Savage Mode''':
** '''Natural Hunter''': As a passive ability, kasha claws are tough enough to allow for Butchering without the need for a suitable tool. All Kasha also start with Lv2 - Basic in Hunting.
** '''Savage Mode''': Kasha can, at will, give themselves +10.0% Stress in exchange for +40% Strength and -40% Pain Sensitivity for 20 turns. If Savage Mode is already active, Kasha can activate the ability again to extend the remaining duration by another 20 turns.
* '''Nerfing [[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|UHS ammunition]]''': It now deals 1.3x damage (Pain and LD) instead of 1.4x.
* '''Changes to MAIM''': Rie "Fireball" Kirari, being a kasha, now benefits from the new abilities introduced above. Her natural Pain Sensitivity was also lowered to 87%.
* '''Changes to healing''': First Aid Kits and Field Surgery Kits now instantly heal HP instead of HP over time (Light: +7 HP; Strong: +12 HP). The bonuses introduced by the Healing skill now give additional HP to all of the limbs not targeted by the FAK/FSK - +1 HP at Basic, +2 HP at Skilled, +3 HP at Expert, and +4 HP at Master. The bonus HP is free and costs no Nutrition or Fatigue.

** Weaponlights switched on now '''automatically break stealth''', as they are sources of bright light that can be seen by everyone.
* WL2 batteries have been '''entirely scrapped''', alongside three models of weapon light (Inforce APL, Inforce WML, and P3X Fury Tactical) due to redundancy.
* One new type of dual modules introduced: the '''Streamlight TLR-4''', which can be fitted on Short interfaces.
* All accessories that used to require WL2 batteries, no longer need them, and can function indefinitely. Integrated lights and lasers also no longer show a turn counter to represent battery life.

= April 23rd 2019 February 9th 2022 ='''Version 56.3.12''' - Simplification update #2 The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 12: BloodConventional rifles and Handgear
This update aims at simplifying some of the mechanics related 37 new weapons and 1 new caliber added to the Blood statisticgame (30 firearms, 7 melee weapons, including 1 integrated bayonet), bringing the total to 985.
== General changes == New caliber ====* Blood no longer naturally heals at a rate of 0.1 per turn, making Pain the only statistic that naturally regenerates every turn no matter what. If you have no wounds, your current Blood level stabilizes at its current level.* Natural blood regeneration is now tied to the daily reset; on top of the nutrition/hydration that is normally lost at midnight ingame, your body will attempt to regenerate 1 unit of Blood on its own every day (as long as there are no open wounds at that moment). Upon hitting the daily resert, you will lose 150 ntri and 2% Fatigue, and regenerate 1 Blood instantly. This is intended to incite finding BTKs or pay for a medic. If neither is possible, the tried and tested "buy food and let it heal over a few days" also works, however it may take several in-game days for large amounts of lost Blood. * Blood Transfusion Kits now carry 3 units of Blood each instead of 5. Full BTKs now cost 350 P$ instead of 550 P$.* A new type of medical item ('''Epoetin-alfa''', syringe) can be consumed to start a 20-turn effect resembling the old natural regeneration effect: +0.1 Blood per turn, in exchange for -15 ntri and +0.2% Fatigue per turn. In total, the item would help your body regenerate up to 2 Blood but burn up to 300 ntri and 4% Fatigue. Syringes of Epoetin-alfa cost 100 P$, making them the cheapest syringe-type medical item.* Changes to '''Augmentations''': The Guardian LSS no longer increases the amount of Blood regenerated per turn, since that mechanic is gone. Instead, each level increases the amount of Blood regenerated every day by 1, at no extra cost of nutrition and fatigue. Level 1 therefore lets you heal 2 Blood per day, Level 2 is 3 Blood per day, and Level 3 is 4 Blood per day, all for the same cost of 150 ntri/2% Fatigue per turn, making it viable to heal large amounts of Blood loss over the space of a few days.* Changes to '''Clothing protections''': Buffs to protection ratings. ''-Resistant'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 4 limb damage (previously, 2), and ''-PROOF'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 8 limb damage (previously, 4)[[7.92x107mm]]

This update introduces two new methods of playing MazeWorld==== Other changes ====* New ability: '''Survival''' and '''Freeform''', and retroactively renames the 'main' mode into '''Contestant Story''' or just '''Story'''. These new game modes, so to speak, aim at providing more flavors for players and future GMs to enjoy.[[Steady aiming]]
== General changes ==
* The [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fLN_YUoVStGt0ElBtVpyMg1bIvn1Eqxc3BuDJrdIkBk/ character sign-up form] has been updated to account for the changes below.
== Survival =February 1st 2022 =In this new mode, players adopt the role of a Survivor, whose only objective is to kill anyone that looks at them wrong'''Version 6.3.11''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 11: Precision rifles and survive as long as possible. Survival is mainly inspired from oldTwo-school MazeWorld, it is essentially an endless Uncivilized Area run, just as it once was.handed clubs
When playing Survival, players have 13 new weapons added to the option to choose between two modes: '''Tier X''' (The game ends after completing X Challenges) or '''Endless''' (The game only ends with the Survivor's death7 firearms, or at player request6 melee weapons), bringing the total to 948.
The main differences introduced by Survival are as follows* Firearms:* No towns or intersections as players know them - Survival is an endless Uncivilized Area streak, equivalent to a Deep route. Explorable areas can even still be found and completed for their rewards!* Nutrition and Hydration Reset occur every time the Survivor reaches a Trading Post (TP reset). In turn, the reset is much lower than normal. The base values are 420 ntri and 140 wtr (0.2x a normal daily reset).[[Class 1 weapons]]:* Date and time are not tracked.** [[Accuracy International AW]]* No Faction Reputation and no Renown to worry about.** [[CZ TSR]]* All skills are unlocked: Survivors start with Unskilled in all non** [[KBP VSK-combat skills (unless skill levels were purchased at Startgame)94]]* The Survivor starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).* Every 50 rooms, the Survivor will find a Trading Post, which is nothing more than an intersection with a fixed amount of shops and services (see below for details)* On the room following every second Trading Post (101, 201, 301...), the Survivor will find a Challenge. Completing the Challenge is necessary to progress forwards![[Norinco JS]]* If playing on Tier X, X corresponds to the amount of Challenges the player must complete in order to reach the end** [[St.George Arms Leader 50 A1]]** There is no upper limit on the Tier number (and subsequent amount of Challenges), though in order to keep games from being unreasonably long, the author's recommendation is to keep it between 1 and 10, and any longer games should be Endless instead.* [[Winchester Model 70]]** The author personally recommends first-time players and GMs to try Survival Tier 4, for a 401-room adventure.* [[ZVI Falcon OP96]]* Mercenaries function differently* [[Class 5 Long weapons]]:** The time-based hiring rates do not apply, and are instead replaced by a 50-room hiring rate (corresponds to the distance between Trading Posts). That special rate is equivalent to 2x the 24-hour rate.* [[Eku]]** Upon being hired, a mercenary will immediately join the Contestant with no waiting time.* [[Flat bat]]** Merc deaths do not need to be reported.* [[Forging sledgehammer]]** All mercenaries show up with their gear. There are no gear costs - their equipment is essentially free.* [[Spade]]** All special parameters are ignored.* [[Tamping bar]]*** [[Toothbat]]

This update aims at simplifying several game mechanics deemed too granular or generally not fun enough.==== Other changes ====
== Simplified nutrition and hydration ==* Nutrition and hydration no longer decay at a rate of 1 per turn. Instead, these stats are slashed by a set amount at a fixed rate and frequency, Changes to symbolize meeting daily recommended needs; these are called the '''Nutrition Reset''' and '''Hydration Reset''', respectively.[[magazines]]:** Nutrition is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Nutrition by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 30). For All Desert Eagle magazines now possess a human, that amount is 2100 ntri. "Deagle" tag for searching purposes** Hydration is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Hydration by an amount equivalent Mauser C96 Red 9 stripper clip: Renamed to (meat worth x 10). For a human, that amount is 700 wtr.* Nutrition and hydration each have new value ranges and corresponding effects; they are generally simpler and more clear-cut effects.** Nutrition going too high will increase minimum Fatigue, and eventually reduce Agility.** Nutrition going too low will decrease Strength, and eventually disable the ability to heal Pain, Blood or Limb Damage (due to the body not having the "fuelMauser C96 stripper clip" to do so).** Hydration going too low will decrease Strength, then Accuracy, then cause Hallucinations, until eventually causing death.compatible with both [[Mauser C96 Broomhandle]] and [[Mauser C96 Red 9]] depending on loaded ammunition
== Simplified fatigue ==Changes to [[Maze Customs magazines]]:* Fatigue no longer gradually increases every turn (what was called "natural fatigue")Glock-SF . Effects that can increase Fatigue bit by bit every turn still do exist22 and Glock-LF .* The "Energized" tier is deleted.* Reaching an amount of Fatigue equal 22 magazines: Capacity increased from 10 rounds to 2x Endurance will result in death.12* All effects of high fatigue now decrease Agility, 1911SS 9mm and eventually decrease accuracy 1911DS 9mm magazines deleted (replaced with [[1911RO magazines]] and cause Hallucinations.[[P-18 magazines]], respectively)
== Simplified clothing and armor ==
* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are:
** Trauma plates - which still continue to work as they normally do
** Powered armor - which require a condition meter to determine protection level. When wearing power armor, damage calculation is greatly simplified - 1 limb damage sustained = 1 armor condition lost.
* Cutting clothes into rags (as long as they have the RagOK tag) now always succeeds and results in obtaining 1d4 Rags (at least 1 is now guaranteed). Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded up.
== Simplified weapon maintenance =January 9th 2022 =* The Reliability/Max Cleanliness stat is scrapped.* Durability is renamed Max Condition, and all firearms' Max Condition values have been rewritten''Version 6.* Critical failures have been completely revamped and simplified3. Condition is now meant to be lost on a critical failure, and for each 2 rolled, the new command 9'''@critfail''' must be used.** @critfail contains 80 possible effects, half of which are simple condition loss effects (ranging from 100 to 2000). - The other half are condition loss effects (ranging from 50 to 1000) with a weapon failure (failure to fire-Weapon Update, eject, etc.) effect on top. If the relevant weapon is a melee weapon or does not have a corresponding weapon failure type, the condition loss effect is doubled instead.Part 9: Grenade launchers and Knives
Changes 12 new weapons added to handloading:* Load level (hotness) of ammunition affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. -P/Cold: Condition loss x0.5. +P/Hot: Condition loss x2. +P+/Super: Condition loss x4.* Powder quality of ammunition also affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. Surplus: Condition loss x3. Premium: Condition loss x0.5.* These effects may stack. Round up any results.* If shooting ammunition of mixed hotness or powder quality in the same turn game (''not recommended!''2 firearms, 10 melee weapons), bringing the hottest and dirtiest ammunition fired that turn is used as a reference for ''all'' rounds fired that turntotal to 888.
Changes to weapon accessories* Firearms:* Since Cleanliness no longer exists, silencers no longer apply a malus on the equipped firearm.* [[Class 1 weapons]]:*** [[NAWS China Lake]]*** [[Springfield T148E1]]* Melee weapons:** [[Class 5 Short weapons]]:*** [[Bou-shuriken]]*** [[Gerber Mark II]]*** [[Handmade knife]]*** [[Heavy throwing knife]]*** [[Kamisori]]*** [[Karambit]]*** [[Last Blood]] (artifact) *** [[Smatchet]]*** [[Stun knife]]*** [[Throwing knife]]
Changes to crafting:
* Gun Cleaning Kits: They are now used to restore a firearm's Condition, as long as it's 60% or higher. Gun Repair Kits can still be used at any Condition percentage.
Changes to Maze Customs:= January 2nd 2022 =* Improved barrels now have different effects'''Version 6.** 4150CS barrel: Max Condition x13.25.** 4150CS + Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating: Max Condition x1.5** 4150CS + Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) coating: Max Condition x2** 4150CS + NP3 coating: Max Condition x1.25, Condition loss on critical failure x0.5** Rechambering a firearm with an improved barrel no longer causes the improved barrel to be replaced by a normal one (forcing the user to re8''' -purchase the barrel improvements again). Making engineers slightly less evil!...** Maze Customs now also offers the possibility to return to a nonThe 1000-improvedWeapon Update, stock barrel, for 100 P$.Part 8: Hand grenades and Axes

The original commands (with equal chances for each weapon) have been given the '''-e''' suffix (@wpn-e, @wpnc1-e, etc3...); 7'''e''' stands for "'''equivalent'''" (in the sense that each weapon has the same chance to be rolled as any other).** Four new '''Tsuchinoko''' commands, '''@wpn-firearm''', '''@wpnThe 1000-melee'''Weapon Update, '''@wpn-firearm-e''' and '''@wpn-melee-e'''.
