Mechanics
In HoboWars, weapons increase the amount of damage you inflict on your opponent, and armor decreases the amount of damage you receive from your opponent. The easiest way to obtain weapons and armor is by purchasing them from places that sell them, or by receiving them from a gang. Both weapons and armor are equipped from your Living Area and only affect your attack or defense when equipped. You can only have one weapon and one piece of armor equipped at a time; you cannot dual-wield weapons or double-up on armor. Once a weapon or piece of armor is equipped, you can unequip it by clicking on [U]. Every single weapon and piece of armor that you own, equipped or unequipped, is located in your Inventory, which is viewed by clicking on the View List link on the Equipment Pane. From the Inventory, you can equip your weapons and armor, sell them, or donate them to your gang. Weapons and armor received from gangs are branded, meaning that you cannot sell them or put them on the SGHM. You must donate branded equipment back to a gang before you can leave it. Powerful weapons and strong armor are either expensive to buy or difficult to come by, so it recommended to join a gang that has a well-stocked armory full of powerful weapons and strong armor.
- IMPORTANT NOTE
- In Hobowars, you might have noticed that a minus sign (–) is used to describe defense. This is because armor is programmed to decrease the amount of damage inflicted on its wearer. However, this description of defense can often be confusing to people and inconvenient to work with. Therefore, in the Help Wiki, a plus sign (+) is used instead to describe defense. In simpler terms, the game's usage of "–1500 Defense" has the same meaning as the Help Wiki's usage of "+1500 Defense."

Rings
In HoboWars, rings give a raw stat bonus to your attack/defense and your speed, and may provide additional benefits. The most basic rings can be bought from the Punk at the Toy Store with points, while the more elaborate ones can be found at a variety of other places. Rings are placed in your Inventory upon being bought and can be equipped and unequipped from there. You can own multiple rings at once; at first, you can only equip one ring at a time, but, once you have acquired and equipped the Ring of Revelation, you will be able to equip up to two rings at the same time. You are able to sell back your rings at the Playground once you have talked to the old man on the Hobo Beach.
A unique property shared by all rings is that their stat bonuses are directly affected by your respect stat's type. If you have positive respect, your ring will give you bonuses to both your speed stat and your defense; if you have negative respect, your ring will give you bonuses to both your speed stat and your attack. On top of your ring's base stat bonus, you receive another bonus called a respect stat bonus. The amount of the respect stat bonus you receive is dependent upon the amount of respect you currently have.
(The stat bonuses shown on the following table are each ring's base stat bonuses. To find out your ring's total stat bonuses, add your ring's respect stat bonuses to your ring's base stat bonuses. You can also hover your mouse over the image of your ring in-game and read the alternate text to find out your ring's total stat bonuses. Please note that if a ring's base stat bonus is below zero that the actual stat bonus you receive from the ring will be zero.)
Basic Rings
Basic rings provide a bonus to your Attack/Defense and Speed stat but lack any other special effects. The Tattooed Kid will offer to buy back your basic rings for 2 points less than their purchase value at the Playground.

Special Rings
Most special rings work the same as basic rings but with the bonus of additional special effects. In order for rings' special effects to work, your respect rank must be higher than the Hobo respect level, a.k.a R–RANK 0; R–RANK = Respect Rank. The Tattooed Kid will accept trading your special rings in exchange for their respective basic ring and a Hobalt Chunk. Note that the Hybrid Ring, Ring of Revelation, and Suicide Ring cannot be traded, but the Hybrid Ring can later be sold for 5 points upon completing part of the April Fool's Day Mini Adventure
Once you have the ability to duel wield rings from the Ring of Revelation, you can equip two rings at once. Equipping two of the same rings DOES stack basic combat stats (Atk/Def and speed bonuses), but DOES NOT stack special abilities. If you equip two different rings (including any combination of basic and/or special), you receive the stacked combat stats and both special abilities.
