Ratchet

Most Ratchet weapons store energy from hits and release it on a chosen strike, so timing matters more than raw damage. Its melee form, the Ratchet Driver, stores charge over time, and a hit that lands with a full store adds bonus damage and sends out a shockwave that is kept in check around the struck target. The Latchet Rebounder is the ranged option, holding up to 5 charges that fire as instant hitscan shots, and its Rapid Fire upgrade swaps stored charge for a sustained barrage.

The mod is aimed at PvP play, where its weapons change how fights unfold through positioning and multitasking. The heavier Ratchet weapons trade speed for brutal impact and area pressure against grouped enemies. Overcharge adds two extra maximum charges to a weapon, and Overcrank is a more extreme Ratchet Driver that stores much more charge and adds charge on critical hits, with its charged impacts also able to damage armor durability. Ratchet is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it.
