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 get 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 "–1200 Defense" has the same meaning as the Help Wiki's usage of "+1200 Defense."

Rings

In HoboWars, rings give an additional bonus to your speed stat and your attack/defense, 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 are found at a variety of other places. Rings are placed in your Inventory upon being bought and can be equipped and unequipped from there. Although you can own multiple rings, you can only equip one.

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.

Also, on top of your ring's 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. For more information on respect stat bonuses, please read the article on respect.

You are able to sell back your rings at the Playground once you have talked to the old man on the Beach. The Tattooed Kid will also offer to trade you a basic Toy Store ring and Hobalt in exchange for one of your effect-causing rings.

(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 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 not go below zero; in other words, ring stat bonuses cannot go below zero. Also, in order for rings' special effects to work, your respect rank must be higher than Hobo, a.k.a R–RANK 0. R–RANK = Respect Rank.)

A couple of important things concerning ring stat bonuses should be noted. First, the speed stat bonus is not added to your speed stat. Instead, it is directly added to both the low end and the high end of your actual speed, which is found under the "More Info" tab in your Living Area. Second, ring stat bonuses have been confirmed to work in just about every combat-related scenario in the game, including the WC, JWC, and the UFC. Special effects work in the JWC, but not in the WC. Whether special effects work or don't work in UFC matches is dependent on whether the Gear rule is set to allowed or not allowed.
