Weapons of power,or WOPs, is a mutator that adds...um...powerfull weapons
there are 2 types of weapons it adds
weapons of power-the ones with slots abowe,that can be loaded with artifacts
and minor weapons of power,that cannot be changed (like damage,poison,lucky
full list of powerups and effects is located here

the default value of a wop is 0,as such it has 5 slots (so 5 powerups can be loaded)
max wop value is +6 (so 5+6 slots= 11 max)
min value is -2. This can be fixed with a repair kit (to 0), or with the upgrade kit (to +6)
HOW TO GET A WOP:1. pick it,it has a chance of being a wop
2. pick up someones wop that he dropped when he died (yes you can have 2 same weapons in the same time)
3.
make it into a wop.
4.
copy it
(about 3.-making a wop)when you pick it up,every weapon has an 85% chance of being magical. So either wop,or just plain magical (poison,sturdy,whatever)
this doesnt show immediatelly,sometimes it will say right away that its a shock of protection +2,but sometimes it takes 1-2 minutes untill it shows what it is
well if it doesnt show what it is-it is a normal weapon. And normal weapons can be upgraded to wops with the upgrade artifact.
you will get a wop -2, that you can upgrade to +6 later on
Only if you pick up a wop,.will it immediatelly say it is a wop...but with other weapons it depends,you have to shoot with them and wait and see what they are
(about 4.-copying a wop) you can copy someones weapon in 2 ways,depending wether you already have that weapon type or not.
Easiest way-if you dont have a...lets say a flak cannon,and someone has a flak of power +5.
Ofcourse you want it. Ask him to give it to you, return it to him and just run to the flak on the map and pick up a new flak. It will be a wop +5 flak,just like the one you returned
situation 2-you already have a flak. Sturdy,poison,whatever. If it is not negative,damaged,misfortune...than you can throw it away. So you throwed it and now u have nothing. A player gives you his +5 flak wop. you return it,and run to the flak on the map to pick a new
but,it will NOT be your friends flak,it will be the one you got first!! So you just copied the wrong flak.
now you need to toss the new/old useless flak (yes,again),and pick up another brand new flak.
only after this second time will it copy the flak you got from your friend-a wop+5 flak
remember to use
denial to keep your weapon after you die
and use
retention on other wops you have,to keep them after you die as well
(as well as keeping superweapons. For example,you pick up a deemer,its a +6 wop. Shoot it-now u have lost it,who knows what youll get the next time u pick up a deemer? But if u put retention in it,every next deemer will be a +6 wop...
KEYS for dropping a weapon can be set up in Unreals settings/configure controls/imput/toss weapon.
look for toss artifact as well,and for using an artifact,scrolling between them... (defaults are U, [ ] )
