Weapon and Enemy Stats

By Mostly Harmless

Stats for the game's weapons and enemies. Obtained through in-game testing and examining the game files for the old DarkXL source port (as they were unencrypted).

Stats are not perfect as damage calculation for certain enemies (specifically bosses like Boba Fett and Dark Troopers) is done in a strange manner so the number of shots it takes to kill them isn't perfectly consistent with the weapon damage values.

Notes

- Projectile damage drops steadily past close range except for the autogun/imperial repeater.

Fists

Damage: ~10-15
Rate of Fire: 112 rpm

- Damage is either random or based off something weird like momentum or distance.

Notes:
- Inaccurate past auto-aim range

Thermal Detonators

Damage: ~22.5
Damage vs Enemies: ~35-40
Rate of Fire: 65 rpm
Max Ammo: 50

Notes:
- Primary fire throws an impact grenade which explodes on impact
- Secondary fire throws a timed grenade which explodes after a few seconds and can be bounced around corners
- Hold down the fire button to charge a longer throw
- Does increased damage against Interrogator and Probe Droids

Auto Gun (Imperial Repeater Rifle)

Damage: 10
Rate of Fire: 290 rpm
Ammo Type: Power Cells
Max Ammo: 500

Notes:
- Secondary Fire shoots a triangular spread of 3 shots

- No damage fall-off at long range

Fusion Cutter (Jeron Fusion Cutter)

Damage: 15
Rate of Fire: 250 rpm
Ammo Type: Power Cells
Max Ammo: 500

Notes:

- Slightly greater damage fall-off at range compared to blasters

IM Mines (I.M. Mines)

Damage: ~90
Rate of Fire: 120 rpm
Max Ammo: 30

Notes:
- Primary fire drops a timed mine which detonates after a few seconds if not triggered
- Secondary fire drops a permanent mine which will only detonate if triggered
- You can trigger your own mines, so be careful

Mortar Launcher (Packered Mortar Launcher)

Damage: ~42
Rate of Fire: 90 rpm
Max Ammo: 50

Notes:
- Useful for targeting enemies on different height levels as it isn't reliant on auto-aim to do so

Concussion Rifle (Stouker Concussion Rifle)

Damage: 30
Rate of Fire: 75 rpm
Ammo Type: Power Cells
Ammo Used: 4
Max Ammo: 500

Notes:

Boba Fett

Health: 360? (shown as 180 in code)
Weapon: Missiles
Damage: 17

Notes:
- Partially vulnerable to (or has reduced resistance against) the Fusion Cutter
- Takes double damage from (or lacks 50% damage resistance against) Thermal Detonators, the Concussion Rifle, and the Assault Cannon

Dark Trooper Phase I

Health: 180
Weapon: Arm Blade
Damage: 20

Notes:
- Shield can deflect projectiles
- Seems to also be resistant to projectile weapons
- Best killed with explosives (thermal detonator, IM mines, mortar launcher, concussion rifle, or missiles)
- Only takes base (22.5) damage from thermal detonators, but it's still better than non-explosives

Dark Trooper Phase II

Health: 360? (shown as 180 in code)
Weapon: Assault Cannon
Damage (Plasma): 30
Damage (Missiles): 59

Notes:
- Seems to take increased damage from Thermal Detonators
- Seems to take reduced damage from Mortars

Dark Trooper Phase III

Health: ~720? (shown as 180 in code)
Weapon: Assault Cannon
Damage: 30
Weapon: Seeker Missile Swarm
Damage:57

Notes:
- Behavior of seeker missiles is tied to refresh rate. At modern refresh rates (60hz or higher) they just kind of hang stationary in the air and explode. Only at 30hz do they actually chase you like they're supposed to. This is true of the original game run in DOSBox too.
