+ | |||
+ | The gladius is a melee weapon in RimWorld that does a moderate amount of damage, has a moderate cooldown, and deals sharp damage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | As is typical with any sharp weapon, gladius attacks cause bleeding, and generally fares poorly against armor when compared to blunt weapons. | ||
+ | |||
− | + | The gladius is one of the most well-rounded melee weapons in the game; striking an excellent balance between damage per hit and cooldown, and not being too expensive either. However, although the gladius is considerably cheaper than the [[mace]] while offering a marginally higher base DPS owing to its slightly shorter cooldown, the mace performs significantly better against armor since it deals blunt damage, which puts the gladius in a tough spot. [[Plasteel]] gladii, however, offer excellent base DPS which establishes a slightly noticeable lead over a plasteel mace in this aspect; combining knife-like cooldown with spear-like damage. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Still, the gladius offers significantly more performance than the [[knife]] while not really being that much more expensive to produce, possibly even outclassing the knife as a 'budget' melee weapon - but again, the mace is still the better choice. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Against armor, a [[steel]] gladius delivers considerably worse performance even than a [[Materials#Stone_Blocks|stone]] [[club]], therefore even [[wood|wooden]] clubs significantly outperform a steel gladius in this department - and a steel mace offers nearly double the damage output. When factoring in plasteel though, the gladius claws back slightly but still falls slightly behind even the wooden club, so a plasteel mace is going to be leaps and bounds ahead. | |
− | |||
− | + | Overall, the gladius is by no means a bad weapon, because it's actually a decent melee weapon, but there are better options out there just for forking out slightly more silver or slightly more ingredients; at the end of the day, the mace is to the gladius what the gladius is to the knife - even when factoring in plasteel. | |

− | {{ | + | ===Obtaining=== |
+ | Gladii can be purchased from any outlander and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from outlander and pirate [[raider]]s. Gladii can also be crafted at [[fueled smithy|any]] [[electric smithy|smithy]] once the [[research#smithing|smithing]] research has been completed; from 50 of any metallic or wooden [[materials|material]], and {{ticks|10000}} of work. | ||
