mlieHALO: Rimworld Psychic Pulse Armory Mod adds a set of unique non-lethal Forerunner-inspired weapons from the Halo universe to RimWorld. These weapons use a custom “Psychic Shock” system instead of dealing direct damage, allowing you to incapacitate enemies without killing them.
HALO: Rimworld Psychic Pulse Armory Features
Psychic Pulse Weapon System
Unlike conventional weapons, these do not inflict direct damage. Instead, they apply a “Psychic Shock” condition that progressively weakens the target until they are downed. This makes them ideal for capturing enemies or safely stopping escaping prisoners.
The system:
- Applies escalating debuffs as Psychic Shock increases.
- Does not affect mechanoids.
- Considers vanilla traits and psychic resistance gear.
- Varies effectiveness depending on weapon type and quality.
- Has a chance to trigger berserk states in targets.
Weapon Availability
These weapons are treated similarly to archotech artifacts:
- Cannot be crafted.
- Do not spawn on enemies.
- Can be found in ancient complexes.
- May be obtained through quests or rare traders.
- Occasionally drop via drop pods.
Weapon Collection
Includes a total of 8 unique weapons inspired by Forerunner designs from Halo 4 and Halo 5. Each weapon is slightly overpowered but balanced to fit within the vanilla sandbox while offering a distinct gameplay style.
