Introduction
Urban Strife's combat revolves around a real ballistic simulation system where every bullet follows a physical trajectory. Caliber determines wall penetration power, and weapon choice dramatically affects your tactical options. From shotguns devastating zombie hordes at close range to sniper rifles punching through cover, mastering the arsenal is essential for survival.

Core Mechanics
The ballistic system tracks individual bullet trajectories with caliber-specific penetration values. Shotguns fire pellet spreads, assault rifles can penetrate through enemies and thin cover, and sniper rifles with large calibers can shoot through walls. Cover destruction is a core mechanic — shoot through barriers with the right caliber to hit enemies behind them.
Advantages
A diverse arsenal lets you adapt to any encounter. Shotguns dominate zombie hordes, rifles handle human enemies at range, and melee weapons provide silent takedowns for stealth operations. The workshop allows fabrication of weapon attachments and specialty ammo types.
Challenges
Ammunition is a limited resource in the post-apocalyptic economy. Running dry mid-combat can be fatal. Some weapons require faction-specific access or rare crafting materials. Weapon degradation means you need NPC Owen's repair services to maintain your arsenal.
