Bypassing armor

Recommended Posts

Now that BTML and ModTek have made it infinitely easier to mod this game, I've been digging deep into the files looking for interesting things to do. One thing that came to mind that I can't figure out, is it possible to make a weapon that bypasses armor completely? I see there's an option to bypass evasion pips, which is cool, but I want to try and make a weapon that completely ignores armor and does pure structure damage. Hell, I don't even know if I'd actually add to the game, just curious if it's possible.

 

The concept being something that just punches straight through the armor - putting a bullet hole in the armor doesn't destroy the armor completely, just makes a hole, but can do a lot of damage to whatever's behind the armor. So instead of making a weapon that deals massive damage in hopes of just blowing through all the armor AND dealing structure damage, I want to make a weapon that thematically just punches a bullet-sized hole in the armor but hits the internals hard. That way the armor is still intact to block other weapon attacks.
